Is it just me, or is the media strangly silent regarding yesterday’s events? There seem to be a couple of stories out there, but usually there’d be all sorts of chatter.

Maybe it’s just not getting reported on FR...

Dorner, along with his manifesto, will be dropped into the memory hole. Along with the Christian/Newsom torture murders and other ghastly racial lash-out violence that doesn't fit the media template, it will never be mentioned again.

The media figures who supported Dorner - like Chris Matthews - will never mention his name again, unless forced to by the headlines of a particular day. If Dorner is dead, there won't be any more headlines about him.

Well, I take that back. It could happen.

If it comes out that he was encouraged or helped by other LEOs in the SoCal area, his name might rise to a one-day headline story nationally. That's the only way I see him grabbing national news attention now.

Even then its 50-50. If it turns out that he's part of a wide-ranging racist conspiracy among A-A LEOs, if it turns out that he has gang affiliations... I think it's completely possible that the MSM would bury the story.

Hillary’s running for president in 2016.

They don’t want a comparison to Waco.

On Fox News radio this morning it was one of the last stories, with about ten seconds devoted to it.

Consider it buried.

When they blew away that Dykes guy in his hole in the ground in Alabama last week, that story died as quickly and completely as he did.

My only question is, will it be exactly two days from the end of one big violent national 24/7 gun story until the next one, like it has been three times in February already?

Don’t you see? We don’t want to discuss any stories which could tarnish the Glory of The State.

(do I really need a sarc tag?)
