BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) I've been amused at how subdued FoxNews coverage of the fed take-down of the Michigan militia has been. The story is already buried on their website and it's no longer mentioned at all on TV. It's certainly nothing compared to their months-long 24/7 coverage of ACORN (which turned out to all be a fraud anyway). I wonder if they're feeling a little guilty after provoking the nutbar element with all the Obama socialism and treachery talk. Maybe they just don't like to draw attention to the fact that the right-wing are the most dangerous terrorist threat to American soil of all.

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Sorry. I should have been more specific. I meant FoxNews coverage, which I linked to. I need to link to it, because you'll have a very hard time finding it on their site. I'll fix the OP.

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 But given the rhetoric FoxNews and the right-wing bloggers have been using in their attempt to discredit everything Obama does, this is just a natural offshoot. If they're going to inflame the rabid right, they should be held responsible when things like this happen. They're no different from the crazed islamists, other than the fact that Rush Lumbaugh is their Mullah.

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) That's the exact same link I provided. Check out the comments section. Curious how they're up to 4 on a domestic terrorism story, 24 hours after it came out, isn't it? And three blame Obama. Talk about the "blame America" crowd.

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 If you compare the prominence given to ACORN stories---headline news for weeks on end---to this, which is probably the most serious attempt at terrorism on American soil since 9/11, there is no comparison. The story is buried. It's out of rotation on TV. It's the elephant in the room that you just don't want to talk about.

Oleg Bach Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 The coverage by CNN reminded me of the testimony of a shrewed and clever former wife in a court custody battle...every thing was implied including the molestation of infants. Quote

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 Hmmm...there wasn't anyone killed when the guy tried to blow up the airplane enroute to the U.S. But that got a little more play by Fox when they thought they could blame it on Obama. They would blame this on Obama too, but it would make them look like terrorist sympathizers because they are ideologically the same as these terrorists. So instead they just shut up.

These arrests make ranters like Alex JONES look like visionary messiahs. This is the begining of frame em up take em down...a direct attack on the old core values of gun totting America...not to mention the clash of American neo-Nazism ....no not the militia ..the corporates who secretly sit in the basement of the White House knowing in great glee that Germany never really lost WW2.

Don't worry, Fox News will give the next Canadian border bomber more respect! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 They did not shut up....you just made it up for reasons only you know. I know you like to live in denial, and I accept that. But do you really think that if this plot involved anyone other than right-wing anti-government christians, Rush Limbaugh's site would have no prominent reference to it happening the very next day? (There might be a buried reference, but I wasn't exactly going to go sifting through all that tripe. You may find it and proudly show it to me if there is anything there it all, buried like on FoxNews.)

BubberMiley Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 Yep...buried on page one Yes, totally buried among fifty or so other dead stories. Rather than do the traditional follow-up (who are these people, etc.?), today's headlines include a question whether Obama is snubbing Red states and whether Iran is closer to Nukes. I thought conservatives took terrorists on American soil seriously. I guess, like BC said, it's only worthy of attention after the fact, when there are dead bodies. Unless, of course, there's a chance you can make Obama look soft on terror. But we see who are the ones who are truly soft on terror, and who overlook it when they consider the terrorists one of their own.

First I'm making it all up and, failing that, no one gives a shit about terrorism on American soil. Good rebuttal.
