Okay, why is this breaking news when there was an actual suicide bombing attempt in Oklahoma that is being kept off the National Airwaves?

Because it's New York City?

Because nobody cares about mass transit systems,
but attacking a sports stadium would cause nationwide panic.

good question, but I think we BOTH know the answer to that...

Give the OU bombing some time though. That one WILL get the national exposure it deserves. I think there are a couple reasons WHY it isn't getting much more attention...

1) the guy was clearly a muslim convert. The MSM wouldn't want that getting out.

2) it didn't really disrupt the game.

3) no one other than the bomber was injured. If it bleeds it leads and whatnot.


BOTH of these incidents should be breaking news.

...that 19 operatives have been deployed to New York to place bombs in the subway...
-They seem to like this number, 19. Maybe Hinrich III was supposed to be the 20th, like Mousaaui.

Dims areas count, GOP areas don't. I thought everyone knew that.

That is why Katrina matter more than any other Hurricane. It affect Dim voters in N.O.

Might I suggest that it's because the MSMers and their families ride the NY subway, coupled with the fact that they wouldn't be caught dead at a football game with the riff-raff of Norman, OK.

For all we know it could be related.

I held my tongue till we knew the identity of the bomber, but now I'm furiously curious about what the Hell the Senate is thinking protecting terrorists rights when a confirmed Muslim just committed suicide with a bomb outside a huge stadium.

I wonder if a handful of suicide bombers go off in this subway, and one survives crippled, are we going to pay them damages?

Prayers for Our on hand protectors. The police and any Feds involved in preventing an attack if this isn't just chatter.

NYC dominates & generates the news ... vs ... "what's an 'Oklahoma'?"

Because we are talking about a much greater population in NYC. Population of the entire State of Oklahoma is 3.5 million, NYC is 8 million, New York Metro area 22 million.

This isn't eastern elitism, it's just simple numbers.

OK, I hate to be stupid. All I've been hearing on the news today is that the body of a missing college student was found.

Please tell me what you're talking about. Sheesh, I can't believe I've missed something like this.

New York City plays better than "the sticks".

I don't say this to be insulting. If Corpus Christi had been wiped off the map instead of New Orleans flooding, I doubt there would have been national telethons.

Even if Houston had a WMD attack, it wouldn't rate as high.

And I agree that the OU bombing has been completely overlooked even by conservative talk radio. At least one news channel in OKC is covering it and reporting new details/confirming old ones.

Perhaps the information about the subways is the result if information obtained during the investigation of the attemted homocide bombing in Oklahoma -- information that would have probably disappeared within hours after the blast if the national media had gone national over the Oklahoma situation.

We already had a terror attack this week in the United States....Why should they raise the alert level in NYC?

The suicide outside a football stadium in Norman, Oklahoma was a disturbed student from Colorado...thus far he is not believed to be connected to any 'groups". Just a disturbed individual.

When his apartment was searched the police found another bomb...so they don't think it was merely a accident..I don't think it is a cover up, think there is nothing really more to the story at least nothing more on our local news.

OU SB made breaking news here on FR (the night it occurred no less).

To avoid panic? Because Oklahoma University football is HUGH business?

The Saturday night death-by-bomb is SERIES and must be scrutinatized carefully. I'm hoping it's being kept low profile to avoid disrupting an ongoing investigation.
