That is not my sentence.
My actual statement, "Why would they censor an actual suicide bombing, if related to Islamic terrorists, and resist the urge to pile on Bush and Iraq?".
I am not speaking of downplaying it in the short term. Folks are insinuating the MSM would willingly engage in a coverup long term and I don't buy it. Bush hatred is too great to not try to spin it, sympathies to terrorists aside.

Football revenue for colleges and advertisers/retailers. College tuition. College degrees. Sports programs. Public safety. Oklahoma City and Clinton's furious denial, courtesy of the FBI and Gorelick, that it was a 'lone gunman' theory. The OK flying schools. Lack of terrorist attacks on US soil in the heartland since 9/11. All these things are now at risk of exposure, or, falling $$, and, morale. The MSM honchos right now are just on the phone with the DNC and Hitlery to frame the spin.
My apologies. No, not your original statement. Must be sleep depravation.
I take note of your comment concerning MSM....not sure if Bush hatred will trump panic here though.
The MSM will not criticize Bush for dealing too lightly with our enemies. The MSM has not criticized him for letting OBL get away. They have not criticized him for not getting the anthrax terrorist. The MSM thinks that our President and our military are the enemies, not Al Queada or the fundamentalists. The media thinks our enemies are victims. To focus on Bush not dealing with our enemies would put to much focus on enemies to satisfy the media's agenda.
I think they downplayed it until the fans could be gotten out of the area so not to cause a panic. We had a guy listening to 1520 which is the flagship Sooner station and not one word came over about a suicide bomber during the entire game.
