US Marshals rescue 39 endangered children in Georgia, arrest 9 suspects on sex traffi

Why is this story not headline on every news channel? I haven't seen this story anywhere. Just saw a post on my FB so researched it. Appears to be true. Seems they even held a press conference. This is now two days old.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj2l_ytpcDrAhUlxVkKHdZ6CDMQFjAQegQIBhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fnews% 2Fnation%2F2020%2F08%2F27%2F36-missing-children-found-georgia-sex-trafficking%2F5651022002%2F&usg=AOvVaw1EsDHd1VKalsdGmVjf1724

Press release by US Marshall Service form yesterday 8/27/2020

Heck even Trump didn't mention it at his rally in New Hampshire yesterday.

I (fortunately) can't even imagine getting the call " Sir we found your child and they are now safe and well. Please come and be re-united".

Right? I freaked when my ex disappeared with my daughter for a week. Of course law enforcement and the courts were useless.

What great work by the US Marshall’s and others involved. I can’t even begin to imagine what these children endured and how they’re going to get through it all as the grow up. Hopefully with good mental heath counselors and the grace of god they’ll be able to work their way through it all.
Can’t believe this wasn’t front page news everywhere. The most amazing thing is it says last year the US Marshall’s found and rescued 295 children from the clutches of their abductors. Scary world we live in with a lot of evil people. Should be a death penalty for something as heinous as this.
Good luck to this children.

Thank you, that was the intent of my post. With such great news you think every media outlet would be running this story at the top and bottom of every hour?

I can see why the MSM CNN, ABC, CBS, etal isn't making a big deal of this. It shows law enforcement good and may turn the spotlight back on Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, the podophile left and Hollywood in general. Biden defunding law enforcement, ill legal immigration and human trafficking.

But why isn't this on Fox, why isn't Trump talking about it? This is a huge win for law enforcement, border control, etc.

I wonder how the “defund the police” types feel about this...

Bravo and job well done! Keep bringing them home and locking up scumbag traffickers for good!

Yes seriously, This is a very news worthy story. You just answered the question and apparently agree. utter BS. Again, if you read my post above I understand why the MSM doesn't want to make a big deal of it. Child sex ring, human trafficking, illegal immigration, border control.

I thought that number would be a lot higher. Ages 0-18 make up roughly 25% of the US population, so .5% of that population distribution are missing. I bet the largest subset of that group are 14-18yr olds that got sick of their parents **** and hauled ass.

Anyway, I had not heard about it either. Great story to hear, thanks for sharing.

"News" isn't news anymore.... it's all about ratings and they are all alike in that regard imo. Sensationalism, "if it bleeds, it leads", etc.

This story is just not front page news by those criteria...

And yes....it's BS.

24x7 means the same 15 minute loop 96 times each day

A few years ago a local TV news reporter asked if I would do an interview, I said sure.

The topic concerned was a local flu outbreak and sanitation. Do you wash your hands often, etc..?

I gave her a good cut (her words), but then was asked to repeat it because she didn't have the camera rolling. I had wasted enough time already, but had plenty, so I changed the message and went the other direction.

First, I lead her to believe I was a germophobe, always being conscious of gas pump handles, public bathrooms, people coughing, etc... When the camera did roll, she got the herd immunity theory, problems with germophobes being the weak link within the community and germ spreading being a good thing.

I was not aired. They report what they want to be heard, whether it's truth or not.
