Why is this not on CNN, GEM$NBC, FOX, ABC

[malaise]

CBS etc?

Four cops shot - two dead. It will take Rachel, KO or Ed Shultz for this to receive coverage. This is amazing.

In the YouTube video he said, "You have to kill them all. So what we're after here is not fighting, it's conquering. I don't want to have to kill anybody, but if they keep messing with me, that's what it's going to have to come out. That's what it's going to come down to, is I'm going to have to kill. And if I have to kill one, then I'm not going to be able to stop, I just know it."

In that video, he and Joe joke about using a bat to "take care of" a problem with an IRS agent.

In an Internet broadcast dated May 6, Jerry Kane talks about New Mexico police arresting him in April at a "Nazi checkpoint where they were demanding papers or jail."

1. When did this happen? Where did it happen? Do you have link to local paper coverage?

That's the first place I would look.

8. Thursday and we had several local links here at DU

This should certainly have received non-stop TV coverage but they keep playing down right wing terrorism.

15. It's almost as if right wing terrorism is not really terrorism and enough to make one wonder if

adequate resources are being devoted to keeping tabs on the full range of seeming domestic-terrorist groups/individual wackos? :shrug:

2. Wasn't this the shooting that was on the news earlier this week?

3. We don't live in a Democracy. The fourth estate has been usurped. n/t

[katandmoon]

4. Easy: (1)The killers aren't Muslims, and (2) They used guns, not bombs.

12. Right. He was a simple criminal. Refused to own a drivers license

but was a trucker. Hated cops because they kept "harassing" him for it. Went around giving talks on how to be a bad actor - and charged people for it. This guy learned how to make a criminal living just below the legal radar.

He emulated much of what libertarianism stands for. And he was white. The bosses say bury it so that's what the kiss ass news agency people do.

Looks that way to me

5. This is the beginning of civil unrest.

It will start with the radicals, but it will spread to any malcontent with a grudge and a gun.

Why is it that all these anti-government, white supremacists sorts belong to some nutty, looney fringe type church?

[MadHound]

6. Because of the same reason that the guy who flew into the IRS office dropped off the radar

Our national narrative is built around terrorists who are brown skinned, and of the Muslim faith. If they are white and Christian, they simply can't be terrorists.

[lonestarnot]

7. but but that BP Exec. I keep seeing on the TV box looks white to me.

:shrug:

[blogslut]

9. The story is on a slow boil

We'll see MSM segments about these anti-government/sovereign folks soon.

[gristy]

10. Until a conspiracy or other unique aspect of this event is identified, it rightly

is not on national news outlets. There were 124 law enforcement officer deaths in the line of duty from all causes in 2009. Most of those did not make the national news either.

11. we won't hear about these incidents until an oil exec gets killed. eom

[geckosfeet]

13. You don't really expect the "infotainment" networks to carry news about libertarians run amuck -

- do you?

Libertarianism is is hot hot hot. Reporting this incident would just muck things up for the randlside in November.

[bbinacan]

14. Do some research

a quick check of CNN and Fox sites have the story.:eyes:
