It's not political so doesn't generate the same debate and print/airtime from either side.
There was Navy helicopter crash 2 days ago that also gets limited coverage.

Leave it to a Pilot to tell me what's what.

Unlike our media, both mainstream and social, the NTSB is actually reasonably professional, runs investigations, looks for evidence and formulates explanations that fit the facts-not what they wish them to be to advance a political position. Granted, some pilots would beg to differ.

It's barely gotten any mention because of charlottesville, I think. I believe soldiers died in the middle east also and I didn't see any trump tweets about it.

Also, 9 killed in Chicago over the weekend, 18 others shot, but the media doesn't give a damn, better to focus on a white guy hitting a white woman and calling it white supramacy.

Sigh.
They are being mentioned as numbers to be included in the death count in Charlottesville by the MSM and not a Police officers with names.

Yes-many in the MSM are tying their deaths directly with the white supremacists.

I agree. There are so many other stories that are newsworthy, but they are taking the back burner to Charlottesville.
As of this evening total for the month of August it up to 6. Four are from the 82nd Airborne (all from the same bat too), 1 who is Air Force and one released in the past couple of hours who was a Green Beret. I could be wrong but I don't recall Trump tweeting about every death of a military member....nor do I remember Obama doing it either.

And have left out that nearly all the ones who were arrested were from out of state and were from the Left.
