The silent falling of a tree

Leave it to the MSM to limit itself via the saying, "if a tree falls in a forest, and no one is there to hear it. Does it make a sound?" It isn't reported, hence it isn't news.

Thank goodness such stifling and stultifying action describes only part of the news correspondent crowd. Plus, it just goes to show that lessons from the Spanish Civil War are being applied throughout the globe.
