Switch to BBC World News if you want reliable reporting, I haven't heard any of the nonsense reported here on that channel.

Nothing racist about it.
Interpret it any way you like.
I don't care if he a Romulan working for the Cylons that the late Hugo Chavez had a deal with. At any rate, I wish the media would just slow down and shut up till they have hard facts. They are all in such a wad to break the big scoop its just Pandemonium.

My point is the Salon guy is purposefully bringing up "white guy" to get hits, be controversial and continue the "white, right wing" hate. You agree with him.

The point he is really trying to make is american vs foreigner.

No, I spent 3 posts helping you understand how you (and the doofus at Salon) are wrong.
No, you are wrong, if it is an American born Muslim it won't make a difference in the reaction. This has been the point all along and it has been made repeated.

From the sounds of it though they have you (not you personally) sitting on the edge of your chair furiously switching channels so you can find out just as quickly as they can announce it.

So far only females have not been accused of being this bomber.

I don't have TV and haven't gone to the MSM sites at all.

This is probably the best "reality TV" show some have watched all month.

now they are saying this bomb threat was made (maybe) because it was reported the culprit was going to be at that courthouse.

Total Craziness.

Are you being myopic on purpose?
If it was an American black the results would be the same if it was an American white.

You, and Salon, just want to be "cool" and hate on white guys/rightwingers. He thinks he is "edgy" by saying this. The biggest racists come from the left of the political spectrum.

Are you being obtuse on purpose or is it out of your hands (my choice)?

I understand exactly what you are trying to say.
For your sake I hope not either.

Exactly. Whatever happened to reporters confirming sources before printing (posting) news? At this rate the news media is no better than people like us sitting around on C-D copying and pasting. Geez.
