At The Word Unheard, USMC Vet has a feature on Mark Tapscott’s appearance on Fox News. Mr. Tapscott is the director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Media and Public Policy. He was interviewed to get his speculations about the reasons why the MSM has studiously ignored the bizarre death of Joel Hinrichs at Oklahoma University.
Unfortunately, Mr. Tapscott was unable to explain the absence of the “dominant media” in a story which has so far, he says, been “blog-driven.” Excellent term for what is — and isn’t — happening with this story.
The Sarge has some good links, including one to a video of the interview and an essay of Mr. Tapscott’s in which he questions whether or not this OU explosion and the New York subway threat are linked.
It is Ramadan after all. And we are Satan, are we not?

The idiotic nanny state mentality that is suppressing more public coverage of this story is the same mentality that failed to take proper measure of the first twin towers attack, Kobar towers, and the attack on the U.S.S. Cole.
It is an outrage and “they” have to get over it and do a proper job of reporting and discussing these types of events. While the nanny state types worry about public reaction, they fail to give us enough credit to increase our vigilance and stop those miscreants.
