I just finished watching about an hour of local news on the local NBC affiliate, and then the NBC Nightly News, and I believe that they didn't cover the $15 million lawsuit to be filed by Ahmed Mohamed's family. I've been reading articles on the internet at the same time, but don't think I would have missed mention of the case if any of these programs had covered it.
It makes sense that the television news wouldn't want to draw attention to this development, just as they never reported other facts in the case, starting with Ahmed not actually making a clock, and that he himself said he tied the project with a cord so it wouldn't look "that much suspicious," and that he was a habitual troublemaker.
And with so much coverage of ISIS terrorism, there's even that much more incentive not to bring up this case right now, even though, given the wall-to-wall coverage it received, it would only be right to give equal publicity to the latest development. But this development also can't be reported since it severely undermines the picture created by the media's biased, one-sided original coverage of the incident.
If other people watched the evening news on t.v. tonight, I'd be interested to know if they saw any of the networks cover it.
None on CBS.
This boy when he grows up will be a terrorist, certainly.
Maybe not pull a suicide vest, but will be laundering money to fund them or hacking into Western sites as a IT hacker.
Guaranteed.
The Old Testament would have permitted elimination of not just him but his immediate family, to be safe.
When do you think people will figure out Achmed the Clock Boy was a scam all along?
“When do you think people will figure out Achmed the Clock Boy was a scam all along?”
The 40% of people who are conservative types knew right away. The people who swing elections, the middle-of-the-roaders who are 20% of the public...of those who are awake and gave it any thought, 10%, say, they know. The 40% who vote Democrat or ultra-left will be on Clock-boy’s side regardless of what he says or does. That’s just the way it works out. No one is as blind as he who refuses to see.
That seems very likely.
It’s amazing that he could get a scholarship from the Qatar Foundation, which has links to terrorism, yet somehow it’s unreasonable just to question if he or his family could possibly be involved in terrorism themselves.
He was testing the reaction, and now suing. This is their MO. He’s living in Qatar and suing the US. He will win and that money will go to fund terrorism.
Uh, never. It doesn’t fit their narrative.
On the nightly news? *crickets*
Barcelona consider ending Qatar sponsorship deal over ‘social issues’
The president of Barcelona says the Spanish club are considering ending their lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with Qatar because of concerns over social issues in the Gulf state.
***
Bartomeu said “four years ago we signed for economic reasons†and added that now “other social issues†need to be taken into consideration.
Barcelona made headlines in December 2010 when they ended their long-standing refusal to wear sponsorship logos on their jerseys by signing a deal worth €30m a year with the Qatar Foundation.

Yes with the end game being this lawsuit.
Legal extortion with the school being the target.
Looking for an out of court settlement. Cha-ching
It makes sense that the local Dallas area can’t ignore the story. But my local news in Kentucky covered quite a few of its developments, the ones that put Ahmed in his family in a good light (with the proper withholding of some information, of course), but this got no mention on the two local stations I watched.
The Communist Propaganda machine posing as our impartial media has been on quite a bender lately as it pertains to holding back the news. It’s been “Trump is a racist” seemingly 24/7 while stories such as Bill Clintons rape victim Juanita Broaddrick coming out to expose Hillary for what she is has been completely ignored, except for Breitbart...
Anything that is negative towards Hillary, Islamo-Nazis, liberal racist groups, thugs, crooks, you can forget about the communist propaganda machine reporting on. The commie propagandists are absolutely hellbent on destroying the US, installing Hillary, and completely their mission to bring Stalinism upon the land which in my opinion is the real reason for Obamacare. Obamacare is merely a tool to institute collectivism and redistribution. If Hillary wins, those premiums and fines will go through the roof and they will use that excuse to take everything you own.
Same here in Ct.; sadly.
Local DFW Fox 4 had Fil Alvarado on camera lying that the little terrorist wanna-be “made” the clock. He and the anchors were very sympathetic towards Ahmed and his family.
I went to their website, but they aren’t taking comments.
I saw this article on my Bing crawler.
‘Clock kid’ seeking $15 million in damages

Whatever happened with the government telling us, “If you see something, say something? Someone saw something and said something.
All over local Dallas news.
