If this were here in the USA...

If this were here in the USA the media might have actually covered the story.

But only if they could make the terrorists out to be RWGs with guns and NRA membership cards.

This is a copy of a letter to the Editor I wrote to the Los Angeles Times today:

Editor,

While I know that honest, unbiased and fair reporting seem to be concepts difficult for the Los Angeles Times to grasp, I am still curious as to why, in reporting about the Chechyn terrorists who captured 800 hostages at the theater in Moscow, they are referred to as "Militants" or "Rebels", but no mention is made that they are Moslem terrorists and that there were several Arabs among them from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Is the Times too concerned about not offending people that it has to color the truth? Whatever happened to objective and truthful reporting?

If this was in the US, I could see Pravda covering it truthfully. Not the American media. Sad.
