Have they become so everyday that the attacks are no longer news worthy?

ISIS carries out attacks from US-controlled ‘black-hole’ area near Al-Tanf base – Russian MoD
Published time: 6 Oct, 2017“Unlawful establishment by the US of this military base on Syria-Jordan border in April this year has been publicly justified by ‘the need to conduct operations against IS,’” the statement reads.
However, “there were no reports of a single American operation against Islamic State during the six months of its existence,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.
“Though the Pentagon repeatedly claimed that the base is used to train the so-called ‘New Syrian Army’ by the coalition instructors from the US, the UK and Norway,” it has become “a 100-kilometer black hole” on the Syria-Jordan border, the statement added.
The ministry also accused the US of not letting humanitarian convoys through the area to reach the Rukban refugee camp, which is located close to the base.
The camp is reportedly hosting around 60,000 women and children from Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor.
The refugees in Rukban serve as a “human shield” for the American base, the ministry’s spokesman, Major-General Igor Konashenkov, said.
In a statement, the Pentagon dismissed any claims that the US had any agenda in Syria other than to fight IS as “ridiculous.”

No, it's too easy.
^ I do not believe everything from the MSM, they do have faults. However, I trust them to print accurate news much more than I do news from a country with an authoritarian regime holding the reigns. They have too many faults.
On another thread I posted this story of how wrong Russian news can be. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2017/10...mmys-in-russia If news reporters do this kind of bad reporting in the West, they get a drubbing not an Emmy.
Noticed is how often you disparage democracy. Partial to authoritarian rule, are you?

I do not believe, however, I trust... ???
Anyway, it was nothing about media (of an "authoritarian rule"), just about quoting Russian MOD (did he say or did not?).Noticed is how often you disparage democracy. Partial to authoritarian rule, are you?
So, your idea of "democracy" is to publish only what is good (to your "democracy") and not to publish what is not good (to your "democracy")? Then, nobody will speak about "authoritarian rule" or "disparage democracy"...
In fact, similarly "democratically" is dealt here what can be published and what unpublished (deleted), isn't it?
Klondyke, I don't think anyone is deleting your news reports from RT, PressTV, or any recognized news outlet as long as you have included a link and they are on topic.
