CNN's Erin Burnett Surprised Bombing Suspects Aren't 'Stereotypical' Americans

On Thursday, just hours after the FBI released blurry pictures of the two suspected Boston Marathon bombers, CNN anchor Erin Burnett assumed the suspects were "stereotypically" white Americans and not linked to any foreign terror group.

It turned out that the suspects--Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev--are technically "white" as they are ethnically Chechen (although Dzhokhar recently became a citizen). But what Burnett, like many in the mainstream media who instinctively assume such acts are committed by those who look like Timothy McVeigh, was implying was that the suspects in the photos were white Americans who were born in this country.

"They are young. They're white. They're very confident. They kind of look like college kids," Burnett said on the Thursday evening edition of her low-rated primetime show, "Outfront."

How come we are not surprised CNN anchors are the 'sterotypical' hate-America type?

[Travis McGee]

The MSM was rooting for somebody from Angrywhitemenistan.

[BipolarBob]

Any response from Christianne Annapour?

[GraceG]

Thanks Travis, those two toons are exactly how I feel I am represented by the media these days.

I feel like a foreigner in my own country when I watch the LSM/MSM too much....

[dhs12345]

They have been doing this for years and years. Just that now they are called out on it.

[Grampa Dave]

Erin bs pseudo reporter is a prime example of why we stopped watching CNN in 2000.

[GreenHornet]

I’m sure that, at some point, someone on CNN or MSNBC will announce that one of the bombers went to school with a guy who knew someone whose cousin once dated a girl who lived down the street from a guy who worked with someone who once met Sarah Palin.

Ya. Pretty frustrating. The MSM: Either utterly stupid feelgood or outright biased. Sometimes both.

..any other time (prior to 1964); these (Establishment :) Media Morons, would have been
"professionally counseled/told to shut-up".. but those were different times...

[Steely Tom]

No, they were “stereotypicsl” muslims.

[Wurlitzer]

We cannot have a free society unless we have a society free of Muslims.

They contribute nothing but death and destruction and just like an invasive species in a garden Muslims are not diversity but a sub-human weed which must be extracted before it overtakes the garden.

Erin Burnett: Cute as a button. Dumb as a rock.

FYI, the Russians DO NOT consider Chechens to be “technically” White. They are considered “Black.”
