Having “all the intel smack in your face” is a terrible way to be informed about anything. The first thing anyone who does any analysis learns to do is to separate the signal from the noise, and part of that is excluding the stuff you know is noise.To be aware of your surroundings you need all the intel smack in your face. I understand some topics are beat to death but that one topic is what has caused the chit we're seeing and dealing with 24/7.
