I don’t see why it changes anything for me knowing or not.
Aside from Mennonet, I don’t get news unrelated to war/conflicts.

My question was to find out who is actually getting this story in their particular news source & my concern is why doesn’t
Everyone know about it. This was no small plot.
The good news is, information isn’t centrally controlled.
Prior to the internet, lib gov+msm had something of a monopoly. A giant monopoly run on formulas. A neat packaged product.

Life was easier for them then.
Today requires more effort on their part; they don’t like it.

Beware neat packaged products. Jesus wasn’t about neat packaged products.

I don't need to know everything immediately. Three or four days might be ideal. I maintained a paper subscription to US News and World Report for more than a decade because I liked the format of reading news once per week.
Well when it comes to a terrorist attack on innocent lives that could have led to multitudes of deaths it might be a good idea to get the news ASAP as awareness of precautions is important. It just helps me realize some things is all.

I actually rely on MennoNet to stay updated on what's going on.

Who here heard about a major “inside” terrorist plot for last Sunday that was prevented?

No fair searching, I’m simply curious if you heard about it.
Yes, I did.

I heard about it.

My news source reported that JD Vance made a remark downplaying it as not very serious, and that neither the President or VP had been informed about it when it was first uncovered, which they would have been if it was thought to be an imminent threat. They also reported that the Secret Service and FBI had made statements implying that it was a serious threat. I went away with the general impression that the truth was probably somewhere in the middle and that whatever else I heard about it would probably have been spun for someone's political purposes.

I’m just glad nothing happened.

We are very close to a peace deal on the Middle East and evil forces want it not to happen.

They want to prolong the suffering of Israeli, Iranian, Gazan, and Lebanese people.
