I haven't seen this story but don't think it will soon be on the MSM at all. It is the kind of story that they just don't want people to know so they will stay away from it as long as possible.

Update: Confirmed, White Substance Mailed to Governor Brewer | RedState

Everything's OK. It was a white substance.

If it had been a brown substance, it might have been illegal.

White is fine.

Mass media denotes a section of the media specifically designed to reach a large audience. The term was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation newspapers and magazines. However, some forms of mass media such as books and manuscripts had already been in use for centuries.

I'm thinking it must have been those violent, racist Tea Party people. First the violence in California over the weekend and now threats to the Arizona Governor.

Well, of course you haven't seen it. The liberal media only covers those racist, violent teabaggers, didn't you know?
