Today in news that will lead to nothing:

The president defended his executive order Monday, saying the threat from terrorism is growing. And he claimed the press is deliberately not reporting on some terror attacks.

The White House offered nearly 80 examples from the last two years. Our records show CBS News has reported about three quarters of the incidents on that list. And none of the attacks would have been prevented by President Trump’s travel ban, reports CBS News correspondent Major Garrett.

...

The White House knows these events were covered and the accusation would lead news organizations to remind their audiences of the events, thereby distracting attention from the president’s legal woes with his immigration order, while reviving fears of terrorism the order is supposedly designed to address.
