    I personally feel like this video does more harm than good. This makes the public feel scared and hopeless about possible ISIS attacks rather than making them want to force congress to take action.

    It's been 5 months since this segment aired and 2 other terrorist attacks have occurred since then; San Bern and Brussels. I don't know about terror groups trying to out-do each other; but there have been more terror attacks since, so the commentators weren't too far off base. At the same time, they could be viewed as playing to peoples fears immediately following the Paris attacks. I put my rating right in the middle.

    If the average person is affected by propaganda does that not suggest that voting here supports the idea that your users have been already keyed to view this video in a particular way? Or are your (mostly school age?) users so 'woke' that although there is propaganda everywhere, they are somehow inoculated against it. Gorka turned out to be right, by the way. There *were* copy cat attacks in the two years that followed. It was not propaganda. It was a warning. ISIS was also warning. The only people who did not 'get it' were the school age kids being immersed daily in their schools' propaganda. So much for education - or should we say, 'education camps'?
