The authorities have a man in custody, but the details are few at this point.
On a day when over a hundred people were killed by ISIS in different attacks, the corporate media is focused almost on whatever Trump says or does.
For example, here is a tweet from CNN on Thursday, one of many that focused on the president.

Guess how many tweets CNN sent out regarding the ISIS claimed terrorist attacks? None!
Maybe reporting on the terrorist attacks by ISIS would validate Trump’s assertion that ISIS is a real threat.
