3) Not all reporting about terrorism designed to keep people scared.
4) The thwarting of a major attack is genuinely newsworthy.
Complain all you want about the shitty coverage, about the twisting of the story by interested parties, about the new flying restrictions, whatever. But don't deny the facts on the ground. It makes you look like a Republican.
As he says, don't deny the facts -- it makes you sound like a Republican.

I think that's a very bold and honest statement for the moderator to offer to such a shrill group. I'm glad to see some rationality there.
Sadly, that encouragement is quickly eviscerated by the "comments" section below that mod's blurb. To call those commenters delusional is an insult to the deluded.
