    Oh it’s the “Baghdad Don” show..  The WH released a report (with misspellings) of 78 terror attacks the, I assume they mean US media missed. Here’s the deal, what we consider a terror attack another country may not. If we compared the “attacks” listed then attacks of shooting/multiple stabbings in places like a school or church or abortion clinic in the US should be labeled as such as well, but they aren’t more/less because of who the attacker(s) were. – PB/TK

    White House says media failed in its coverage of these 78 terror attacks – Kim Hjelmgaard , USA TODAY Published 4:56 a.m. ET Feb. 7, 2017

    Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this report mis-attributed a quote to the White House press secretary. 

    The White House released a list Monday night of 78 terrorist attacks “executed or inspired” by the Islamic State group that it claims support President Trump’s assertion that media organizations are deliberately failing to adequately report.

    “You’ve seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe it’s happening. It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported,” Trump told military leaders and troops during his first visit as president to U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla.

    “And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it. They have their reasons and you understand that.”

    Trump did not explain what he meant by “their reasons.” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer subsequently clarified Trump’s remarks by telling reporters that it wasn’t that there was no reporting on terrorist attacks, but that there was insufficient reporting.
