Why is the MLK parade bomb not the headline on every major news site?

[erodriguez]

Maybe because when racist while people threaten or harm people of color it isn't considered terrorism?

1. Well, if we put White Christians on "terrorist watch" lists...

...that might not fit various pre-approved narratives...

[derby378]

2. Maybe because nobody died?

You know the editor's old creed: if it bleeds, it leads. Pity, really.

[erodriguez]

3. So what about the Times Square bomber? That was big news.

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. That was a furiegner

you asked.

Oh and welcome to DU...

And when it comes to things like this... I am quite the cynic. White Terror will never be called terror, ever.

[May Hamm]

4. Because Spokane has only a tiny 3% black pop

And nobody knows where Spokane is.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. That be INTERNAL and we don't have internal

Terrorism... I know that is a myth, you know it is a myth... but there you have it.

6. I'm becoming skeptical about all of this stuff

and that these acts of terrorism are more about creating corporate profit opportunities that enhance security company bottom lines, politicians, and police depts..

8. For the same reason the Arizona killer is

just "a lone figure'. The MSM doesn't want to connect the violence to political discourse. It upsets their theme if they acknowledge the anti-MLK terrorists in our midsts.

9. It's on the front page of CNN, ABCnews, and Huffington Post. n/t

[erodriguez]

10. Not headline news?

CNN headline "Howard Stern doenst like Jay Leno" Hu Jintao comes to the U.S.

Huffpo at least has it near the headline "Joementum Lost"

ABC the best of the three seems to have it on its scrolling banner.

NY Times|: No where to be found.

[Tx4obama]

13. Look at HuffPo now

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/

at this moment it is the top headline on the front page - huge font and also huge photo.

14. but not seeing it on Faux Nooze

What a shock. :sarcasm:

[postulater]

11. We're trying to be civil. Promoting fear is out-dated and not acceptable.

[lonestarnot]

12. I find it strange. This is the first I've heard of it.

[AnnieBW]

15. Can't prove it's Mooslems yet.

If the backpack belongs to someone named Mohammed, it'll be on the news 24/7.

[HopeHoops]

16. They haven't found a Muslim-looking guy to pin it on yet.

[RegieRocker]

17. Ahem...because the media is run by the right wing.

[11 Bravo]

18. Chill out. It's just an "isolated incident".

Just the latest in a seemingly endless series of "isolated incidents".
