non-terror covered and terror non-covered

So, there was some sort of suicide bombing in Oklahoma last week. I’m not sure about all the details because the press has largely ignored it. Could be something, could be nothing. Michelle Malkin rounds up the issue. This story has received minimal coverage. Michael Silence did some checking and notes:

So I decided to do a LexisNexis search using the bombers last name, “hinrich,” and “oklahoma.”

I found 45 entries, including the Associated Press, CNN, the NYT, the Chicago Tribune, the Rocky Mountain News, the Denver Post, the St. Louis Dispatch, USA Today and some smaller papers. Likely there are other stories because if memory serves initial reports did not include the person’s name.

Still, that seems like a small number so I did a comparison using “miers” and “court.” The bombing was Saturday, Miers’ nomination was Monday. LN would not return the listings on my Miers search because they totaled more than 1,000.

Meanwhile, no bomb has gone off in New York yet but the threat of such is news all over. Now, I understand warning people and appreciate that. But (and it’s a big but) people also kind of want to know about the bomb that did go off. And if you don’t read blogs, you wouldn’t know about it.

Do they hate Oklahoma?

  1. Vol Abroad Says:

    I’m not too crazy about Oklahoma (Go ‘horns), but I still think this should be covered. This is the equivalent of our 21/7 bombs in London. An attempt that didn’t quite go to plan, thankfully.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
