Media Bias

[mooby]

Speaking of media bias, where's the national coverage on this? White guy plants bomb in Asheville airport last Friday, tries to start a war on US soil. Luckily they disabled the bomb and arrested the guy (he was fairly easy to track down apparently) but this isn't big news?

We don’t like to acknowledge that white Americans are our biggest terrorist threat

As in most countries, since the period of modern time...typically the greatest threats have been from its own people. The label "terrorist" or the definition which is thrown around so much today it really holds no value. The distinction is broad. MS-13, confederacy in the civil war, this guy in Las Vegas, the guy who shot the Arizona Senator lady, the crazy group in Oregon who held on to a state park a couple years ago, boston bombers, these are all terrorists from the what I hear these day. Its not restricted to race imo and yeah I guess since white people are the majority by a good bit, sure, Id put my money on violent acts by crazy people being white.

People are so dang mad that Islamic terrorism has cornered the market on the terrorist label in the last 20-40 years...in some way they feel like facts cause some sort of oppression. But yet here we are still fighting a global war against them still.
