This morning< NBC Today showed their pics and made one mention of them being "al Queda wannabes." Never described their appearance, religion, or ancestry, nor did they ever mention that might have been part of their motivation.
They were labeled "homegrown terrorists" or "all but one were American citizens" who were "anti-Federal government."
The only reason why we knew that they weren't Tim McVeigh wannabes was that they did not incessantly call them white Christians. Nor did they cite AM talk radio as fueling their fires of hate. Come to think of it, they never even used the word "hate" in the whole piece.
