"ISIS — and particularly its expanding caliphate — used to be a major news story in this country. Defeating the terror army that largely stretched across Syria and Iraq was a major campaign topic in 2016.

Funny, I haven't had any trouble finding news about Raqqa. Of course, I listen to NPR. LT |

Funny, I didn't have any trouble finding out about Raqqa being liberated and I watch what's termed "main stream media". |

It was on the front page of my newspaper. |
