You will notice none of the major dailies in the US was attacked. As suspicious as that is in a time of declining advertising revenues, I think the critical difference is tabloid verses unbound, two fold.
We might also notice that in the US almost all tabloid style dailies or weeklies use an 8th grade language standard.
The other targets were broadcast television networks! You will notice that no cable network was attacked. This is because the attackers were the type who don't waste money on cable when perfectly good broadcast tv is around.
That means the attackers were billionaries like Russ Perot, or cheapskates like Mr. Atta!
These people were not targeted for "what" they said - rather, they were targets of convenience which were simply "known" to the attackers!
...OK, "8th Graders" attacked the EDITORIAL OFFICES of the NEW YORK POST that had been running the most damgaging of the CLINTONS' Former White House Political Advisor DICK MORRIS' Exposing Columns about them not to mention the November 1999 Front Page Story that stated that JFK Jr was going to announe his run for the New York Senate Seat against HILLARY ...which only his plane suddenly entering the Atantic Ocean at high speed stopped.
...yeah SURE.
