FBI Leaves Woman To Defend Herself Against ISIS

Pamela Geller, who was targeted by terrorists in Texas over the weekend, says the FBI and the
Department of Homeland Security have yet to contact her after the thwarted attacked. She made the comments last night in an interview with Sean Hannity.

"This is a serious threat," said Hannity. "Basically a Fatwa, a death threat, has now been issued. Your reaction to that? Have you had any contact with the FBI?"

"They have not contacted me, but of course we've now increased my team. I have a team now, private security, and NYPD counterterror has been in touch with me," said Geller.

"Did you reach out to the FBI?" 

"I did," Geller said

Hannity then asked, "Homeland Security hasn't gotten ahold of you, the FBI hasn't gotten ahold of you?"


"No, and this is interesting because this is a terrorist threat. And the FBI, President Obama should provide security. There's no question about it. Because he created an environment that raised the stakes on this," Geller said.

The Quick Rise of Cumulus Radio & Media

Founded in 1997, the creation of Cumulus Media Inc. was a direct response to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and
its radical relaxation of media ownership rules. Cumulus CEO Lewis Dickey, Jr. quickly took advantage of the new rules (or lack thereof) to assemble a radio titan second only to the infamously ubiquitous media giant known as Clear Channel.

 Thanks to the efforts of the Clinton administration and a majority of Congress, a company like Cumulus could quickly rise from nonexistence to near-domination, reaching listeners in 89 media markets in less than 20 years.

When Cumulus bought Susquehanna Radio for $1.2 billion in 2006, it did so with backing from heavyweights like Bain Capital Partners LLC and The Blackstone Group. The deal signaled Dickey’s status as a major, well-connected player in broadcast media and, by extension, in the media’s bread and butter: partisan politics.

Among its biggest hosts are Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage (who recently replaced  Sean Hannity and Mark Levin — the very first winner of CPAC’s “Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment” award.
.
 And now Cumulus is giving  a non-experienced host a seat at the table, Congressman Mike Rogers. As CEO Lew Dickey said, “We are thrilled to have Chairman Rogers join our team. He has been instrumental in helping to shape many of the most important issues and events of our time and will play a significant role in our expanding content platform.”


It’s also a perfect platform for Congressman Rogers to spin tales of shadowy plots, sing the praises of the NSA and, if he is so inclined, to beat his own drum in anticipation of a possible presidential run. But that may just be Mike dreaming an impossible dream.
