Yes, anti-semitism was all the media wanted to report about when they tried (and failed) to blame Trump.

Then the Palestinians began launching rockets targeting civilians in Israel, and now this muslim trying to kill Jews in front of their synagogue, crickets from the media.

It doesn't fit the narrative. The driver is a scumbag.

Biggest form of bias in media is one of omission.

If this person had actually hurt someone then, yes, it would of made the mainstream media. No conspiracy.

No, conspiracy. (FIFY)

Recently the media was lit up with the arrest of members of a "white supremacist" prison-based criminal gang, in which a cache of weapons was found. Now no one had been killed or injured, and there was no particular threat to any particular individual, yet the media displayed this story for days, telling us it was a Troubling and Serious Thing.

It's all about The Narrative.

So if it's only attempted murder it isn't newsworthy.

Umm, in a country that has mass shootings daily, a rise of alt-right violence, this is a threat. A Muslim driving a car is not a threat.

Umm, when he aims said car at a group of people in order to kill and maim, then yeah, it kind of is a threat.
