I can barely find any "news" coverage about this historic event brought about through the negotiations of our President.

The news cycle moves fast. Pretty easy to find if you were interested instead of just trying to stir the pot.

I watched the entire thing live on Fox and as an experiment I kept switching back and forth between them and CNN and a couple other mainstream media outlets. NONE of the other channels mentioned this taking place which is odd. VP Pence did an excellent job there, he is very well spoken and I would think liberals should be fearful if they get their way, Trump is a pussycat compared to Pence.
Anyways they had to planes with the caskets on board and the symmetry utilized while unloading was unreal, it was a very emotional time.
And we all know why the MSM didn't show it, because that would be admitting Trump accomplished a major goal that nobody else has managed for the past 65 yrs. Doesn't fit their agenda so don't cover it & pretend it never happened."You know that little thing in your head that keeps you from saying things you shouldn't? Yeah, well, I don't have one of those."

CNN is awful. I really can't consider the network shows "news". Sure they do report on some things but I don't look to Don Lemon, Sean Hannity, Rachel Maddow for any sort of objective reporting.
Having closure is a good thing, and whether one likes/dislikes DT we should all be grateful this was able to accomplished for the families and for the soldiers to be honored.☻/

Initial indications are that they may indeed be American and ally remains. I was wondering if NK might just send boxes of random bones as a poke in the eye of disrespect. I hope these are authentic, especially for the families.

It is possible. I'd expect there is some history coming back with these remains. DNA tests may help too. It will take awhile to verify the remains, but I'm sure there will be follow up. Can you imagine the emotions of the family members when identities are released? I'm hoping for this. My Father is a decorated Korean War vet. Those guys fought a War that wasn't even called a War, if you know what I'm talking about. I just appreciate when their efforts are remembered, and the lack of media coverage because the mass media hates our President really hits me hard. (But, it's shrugged off by some because news cycles travel so fast. RME's) The fact is the media chiefs decide what they want to cover; when they want to cover it; and for how long. Absent a giant story that forces the 'cycle,' they either ignore news or beat other topics to death. This important story has been largely ignored.

I'm not shrugging anything off. I'm just pointing out your ridiculous straw-man at an attempt to start shti just because by pointing to one of many stories (3 more below) from the evil MSM who covered it (I guess not enough for you though /shrugs). Sorry you misunderstood my objective.

When the ceremony was on, there were no opinion shows on. 90% of the MSM was out to lunch. They did report on it but it was the equivalent of being placed on the back page. Clearly shows bias, but that is just the way it is these days and it will continue long after Trump.

My point is an obvious one. People with no agenda have agreed. I'm going to dig some to see if I can find out the specifics that aren't being covered, like the nature of the remains and if any information about where they were found, back stories, etc. It's an important story for Americans, especially those of us with family ties.

Thanks my pudgy little friend. Actually, this is my third degree (oh and I'm done). I also married someone who makes a pretty good living, so much so I haven't had to work in 6 years and have been able to devote my time to my kids. Not to mention, I have a pension and a good chunk in savings and retirement. If your online law degree isn't paying off and you're tired of ambulance chasing let me know I'll Paypal you a few bucks. Thanks for the offer though, now put down the doughnut and lift some weights.

LOL do you think any of this hurts my feelings??? I have an awesome life, live in a beautiful house, have smart healthy kids that I take and pick up from school every single day. I spend the entire summer with them. Have a wife I've been with since high school who is highly successful. Not sure why you think any digs at me or my situation would bother me at all. I went back to school because I wanted to not because I had to. Nice try though, LOL. You truly are an azzhole and maybe one day our paths will cross in the real world
