Games are sick, and a bunch of kids! Right? Right guys? Oh wait. That’s a ridiculous stereotype on it’s face, that would never hold up to any logical scrutiny. Or at least you’d think so.

Another crazy week for the Unfilter show to cover, I never enjoy covering these shooting events. The gun topic is such a hot topic with passions that flair up on all sides. But to see the media industry turn their collective attack dogs on games, again… It was too much to stay quiet!

It wasn’t until about 3pm our time, so about 3 and half hours before the show starts, that I really clicked into what this episode was going to be about. It was after sifting through all the reports I had recorded, and clipping them down, that the messaging and trends really stood out. And I realized the media was back into a pattern, which I wanted to expose.

Syria seems to have cooled down from a US involvement standpoint.

There was an aspect to the Syria story we did not have time to cover in this week’s show. And that’s the new effort behind arming the rebels.

The idea has been under consideration since the August 21 chemical weapons attack outside Damascus, which the United States says was carried out by the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

“We have any number of options under development that could expand our support to the moderate opposition, but no decision has been taken at this point,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey said when asked by reporters on Wednesday about the proposal.

And in what appears to be a rather hollow move to get back at the Russians:

• Sour over Syria: American senators attack Russian banks

In cold war style, US Senators have urged the Obama administration to freeze assets of three major Russian banks, ban their activities in the US, and deny employees’ entry into the country on the suspicion they are doing business with the Assad regime.

And the chart of you just gotta see that relates to our segment on Summers and banks:

• Five Years Of Hard Work By The Federal Reserve

Every week at some-point I think to my self, “this is why we created this show, this needs to be covered better”. But we had no idea how we could make it happen and keep it going. You guys have solved that problem for us, and let us focus on the show every single week, and not on chasing ads and numbers.

THANK YOU!
