Is CDC Hiding Enterovirus Link To Illegal Alien Kids?
Public Health: A disease that was once rare in the U.S. is killing Americans, and its rise coincides
with the tidal wave of unaccompanied minor children arriving from Latin America under our de facto open-border policy.
Eli Waller, a 4-year-old New Jersey boy, died Sept. 25. He was reportedly fine and healthy when he went to bed but died overnight, with the cause confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control to be enterovirus D-68 (EV-D68), one more casualty in an epidemic that has swept the country seemingly out of nowhere.
The CDC website reports that from mid-August to Oct. 10, the CDC itself or state authorities confirmed that 691 people in 46 states and the District of Columbia had come down with some sort of respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. Five children, including Eli, died from their infections.
More than a few observers have noticed that the sudden increase in EV-D68 cases coincides with the rapid rise of unaccompanied minors crossing our porous border. These children, often without proper health screenings, have been distributed throughout ...

Former WaPo chief warns of ruin when advertisers 'wake up' and pull out
A former executive editor of the Washington Post is warning of a massive shake out in print journalism once advertisers “wake up” to the reality that they are wasting money on newspaper and magazine advertising, not digital, where their audience is.
Robert G. Kaiser wrote for the Brookings Institution that print media, presumably including his former employer, is getting more than they should from advertisers and it won’t last much longer.
“Americans spend about five percent of the time they devote to media of all kinds to magazines and newspapers. But nearly 20 percent of advertising dollars still go to print media. So print media today are getting billions more than they probably deserve from advertisers,” he wrote.
“When those advertisers wake up, revenues will plummet still further,” warned Kaiser, editor from 1991-1998.
Of course, the shift is already happening. “This explains why even as newspaper revenues have plummeted, the ad revenue of Google has leapt upward year after year — from $70 million in 2001 to an astonishing $50.6 billion in 2013. That is more than two times the combined advertising revenue of every newspaper in America last year,” wrote Kaiser.
The result could be the end of some print outlets.
“The great institutions on which we have depended for news of the world around us may not survive. These are painful words to write for someone who ...

Bring The Ebola Patient To Atlanta They Said...
What could go wrong?
A Texas nurse infected with Ebola was flown from Dallas to Atlanta Wednesday and admitted to Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital, where she will be the fourth patient to be treated there for the virus.
Amber Joy Vinson, 29, was diagnosed earlier Wednesday with the deadly virus after caring for Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who died from Ebola last week. She will be treated in a special isolation unit at Emory where three other patients have been treated, two whom were discharged in late August, the hospital said in a statement. A third person is still receiving care.
Emory said it was bound by patient confidentiality and had no information regarding her status.
Vinson was the second nurse who cared for Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital to come down with Ebola. Nina Pham tested positive for the disease Sunday and is being treated at the Dallas hospital, where officials said Wednesday she is in good condition.
