UPI, ABC, CNN, Fox, Reuters, among others, all covered it. Perhaps the fact that it did not get more press suggests that it was not huge news. In a rare exercise of restraint the media failed to paint an angry white man as an extremist.

Probably because he is a far left, tree-hugging, environmental whacko, Obama supporter. Why else?

Have you EVER seen the ‘press’ paint a liberal as an extremist? White, black or any color? Never. At worst, if they’re dealing with a total monster ( who happens to be liberal) the press paints him as mentally ill.

Every style book in every newspaper should deal with consistent ways of dealing with the news. If a bomb is put on a gas pipe it's dealt with: THIS WAY ( fill in the blank). Period. Not 'this way' if placed by a liberal and 'this way' if placed by a conservative.

Newspapers and the MSM are throwing away what little credibility they have left... and for nothing.
