This is sad. Too bad it had to happen, and I hope that the shooter is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Also sad is using this sad event to push a anti-abortion rights agenda.
Youv'e got it all wrong. Its sad because some girl goes missing in Aruba, or a story like Dr Tillers will remain in the news for months or years and a story like this will not even make the mainstream media. The media is biasd, admit it. Fox will report this story but it will be a blip on the rest of the liberal media outlets.
The media is biased towards selling papers or drawing ratings. Controversy does that. It's not the medias fault. If we showed more interest in stories like you linked, they would get more coverage,
Do not expect to see this story in the mainstream media

I wouldn't say it was quite that simple. The media themselves do help to create that culture, it is a sort of loop of sensationalism.
If that's the case, they sure have been unbiased recently :twocents:

......I guess I won't?
You conveiniently left out the next sentence I typed "If you do it wont last more than a few days"
Come back in a week, month, or year and show me the massive coverage this story has generated. You won't be able to Hat because the media will have droped it. Don't pretend you don't know what Im refering to.:roll:
Yeah and a month ago I won't remember who George Tiller was either. You're complaining about some stories being bigger then others and the media covering them accordingly. A recruiter being killed in nowheresville Arkansas is pretty much a non-story for most people because A) he's a complete unknown and B) because there is only so much information you can milk out of such a story.
Thats complete BS, Natalee Holloway, Caylee Anthony, Stacy Peterson, and JonBentet Ramsey were all complete unknowns. And Im sure there is a plot and this guy could lead to a terrorist network. But nooooo, we can't have the media beating the drum in this case. Its politically incorrect. It might offend someone.
The truth is the blame America crowd will say our chickens have come home to roost. We brought this on ourselfs. Please:roll:
I went one for four on those. Does that matter?
Lets not overlook that the perp is obviously a jihadist.
Condolences to the family, i hope he is punished and rots in jail
He acted alone according to the link.
Probably a social reject who is a virgin and wanted to see if he got them when dead
Thats why the FBI is involved, to find out if he really acted alone. But we will never know because the media will drop this story asap.
One for four? You can't be serious. All four of those cases were in the news almost everyday for years. Do you pay attention to the news at all?
I agree, he needs to be made an example of. Problem is he converted to Islam in prison where he was convinced to join the jihad. Much like the four guys in New York busted recently. It wouldn't make much sense to send him to prison where he can recruit more jihadist. Thats why we need to either execute him or build a prison for people like him. Oh, wait we already have a place. Its called Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
