The NEWS

OK Plebs, Prols, Progs and Kulaks the Great Sage is about to inform you of the true definition of the term "NEWS".         N...North       E...East       W...West       S...SouthNews is simply information that the masses are not privy to...yet. NEWS was actually a military term which was used when collecting and evaluating data to aid in the process of planning. The commander or commissar would, at a precise time every third hour, let's say beginning at noon or midnight and then 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 would request updated information. Similar to a compass 12:00 o'clock is North and so on. This periodic request of current status ranged from all four geographical cooridnates. When details of the higher elevations were requested they would refer to hills by their elevations: i.e. if a hill in a certain area was 150ft high then it was named "Hill #150". Mountains were fewer in most early era battles, unless your name is Hannibal, but many battles were fought at the foot, plateau or slope of hills. Mountains were Iconic. They had names.FYI... In many cases it is advantageous for an army to fight it's foe on a slope with the sun at it's back...this will cause the attacking army to have the sun in it's eyes and fighting up hill. And how did they measure the height of these mountains? Very simple. I'm sure anyone intelligent enough to reply to these entries knows the method. So after a 20minute skirmish with a handfull of opiated Persians the "NEWS" is collected, compiled and delivered to the "architects" of this "event". But what happened with the "event" by the time the "NEWS" got to the citizens is another story... thus the genesis of the dichotomy of politics Right versus Left. Something as simple and straight forward as military information finds it's way woven into the very fabric of the social carpet BUT...something isn't right. Suddenly a 20minute skirmish ends out a wholesale slaughter of innocent women, children and elderly Persians with a mosque now in total ruins...now take it from there. This is where the Left profits from it's lies and builds it's political platform. 
This is the North East West and South of it all.
