Ha…the race baiters here sure had a field day saying the MSM wouldn’t cover this story because the shooter was Black. Yet this story has been all over everywhere and often at the top of the news.(CNN, NBC, CNN.com)

Egg on their face, they have.

I’ve been watching MSNBC since I got home from work, I haven’t even heard a single mention of this mass murder. Perhaps Dylan Ratigan talked about it a little at the start of his program, but not in the last part. Matthews and Ed Shultz’s show were dreadful as usual but still no mention of this terrible crime. Strange considering crime just occurred and has numerous culturally relevant aspects. I suspect they’ve done the math there, and have judged this story to be a net loser for Obama.

Agreed Sean68. If the shooter was non-black or non-hispanic it would take up the whole hour of Tingles and Blockheads show. God forbid it be a member of a Tea Party, that would be enough to declare martial law. Hats off to you for watching those two shows as I know how unwatchable they are.

Anyone want to take any bets that Maddow and Olbermann ignore it too? Olbermann might feel he has to because of his retarde twitter in re Sanchez. I say, nothing from Maddow; Olbermann’s 50/50.

That should say olbermann feels he might have to mention it. The racism angle must be tempting. Will they bite? I see your alleged workplace racism, and I’ll raise you 8 dead white men with grieving families.

Old habits, I suppose. Matthews used to be so much better. He’s morphed into something fascinating and appalling. I can’t not watch.

Who would have guessed that “news director to the world,” Keith Olbermann wouldn’t actually be responsible for such decisions at his own network? Who would have guessed it?

Oh, that’s right… everyone. Everyone, that is, except for Keith.

Keith Olbermann is the Tokyo Rose of his generation.

The funny part is that Fox would have been all over this story as a race issue if they hadn’t already been thoroughly disgraced for the ACORN, NBPP and Sherrod race baiting.

Score one for the good guys.

A recent study has shown that blacks have more empathy for other blacks than whites do for other whites.

I’ve long speculated that this was the case. I wonder why.

I would further speculate that white liberals have less empathy for fellow whites in pain than they do for blacks in pain.

The sad part is that MSNBC would have been all all over this story if the subject (murderer) was not black, or hispanic, or gay. Fox would (and did) report on any story involving a workplace shooting regardless of race. MSNBC is almost completely ignoring the story. Nobody can argue that if the shooter was a Tea Party member or similar, MSLSD would have over-reported the story.
FOX was not disgraced over ACORN, NBPP, and Sherrod, but showed how the rest of the braindead media is not doing their investigative job. Even edited videos do not lie. Except the intentionally cropped video MSNBC showed of a gun-carrying racist at an Obama rally who happened to be black. Shameless
My US flag is at half-staff for the media

What we have in Olbermann is someone who couldn’t cut the mustard at ESPN doing straight sports journalism, and is now served up to us as a pundit because he has both a loud mouth and a severe lean to the left.

What Keith Olbermann finds inexplicable could fill a large book in fine print.

KO describes the lead story on ABC as “inexplicable.”

Holy shit!! Really?!

Looking to Olbermann for advice on what is newsworthy is like going to Russell Brand for hair grooming tips.

“Nightly News opened their show last night with the same editorial decision, covering the shooting tragedy in Connecticut” Colby Hall

“Same editorial decision”? So I guess some think the decision is open to question. Why? Because it was eight white people murdered in broad daylight by a black man in a clear racial hate crime? Because Keith Olbermann found CNN’s decision “inexplicable”? (We all know what “Captain Dreyfus” would have done if eight blacks were murdered by a white man–he would be leading with the story until Labor Day.)

So I guess the question editors should ask in the future is: Did the right color get killed?

“it’s somewhat noteworthy when a cable news host takes to Twitter…to review his fellow competitors”

There are some noteworthy items, but Mr. Olbermann playing with Twitter is not one of them. What is noteworthy is that he has not yet been reprimanded by MSNBC. What is noteworthy is that there has not been a demand from his media colleagues for him to apologize. What is noteworthy is that Mr. Olbermann, an inciter of racial hatred, is still allowed on television.

“If it bleeds, it leads.”

Eight murdered: “if it bleeds it leads”. What a trite and pathetic comment.

Let’s not forget that the shooter was Muslim. Had he been a Biblical literalist, a right-wing Baptist, Madcow and Overdone would have had their chins all a-quiver about the hateful half of American society.

Instead, we have a very possible case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, and the Guardians of What is an Explicable Lead Story are alert for any indication that the mainstream media are awake to the fact.

“Eight murdered: “if it bleeds it leads”. What a trite and pathetic comment.”

It’s a well-recognized, if cynical, comment from within the media (all political flavors) on what makes a good lead story – it’s probably pre-electronic media.

Crime reporting and war correspondence have always generated far more than their share of lead stories, going back to ancient Greece. It’s no accident that one of the greatest works we have from ancient Greece was written by a mercenary talking about war in Persia (Xenophon’s “The Anabasis”.

uh, actually loupgarous, he was a black guy who was disgruntled about supposed racism at the job that he shot up and it was acutally 9 people cause he killed himself after the shooting

“It’s a well-recognized, if cynical, comment from within the media” loupgarous

Mr. Hall knows what I meant.

Olbermann has a serious mental problem. Getting dumped by ESPN might just put him over the top.

There needs to be a suicide watch. I am not being funny, the guy is nuts.

Of course he was dumped by NBC not ESPN. I have never watched the show.

Just to edify you once again BFD, the story was not reported by the Democratic Media as a RACIALLY-MOTIVATED HATE CRIME – like it WOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED HAD THE RACIAL ROLES BEEN REVERSED!!

In fact, see below…

What if it were a WHITE shooter SLAUGHTERING 8 BLACK co-workers!

Olbermann, Sharpton, the Black Caucus & THEIR “mainstream media” have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS over this; because THEY are the ones propogating the “WHITE RACISM” CANARD that savages like this predator in Conn. use as an excuse for their violence!

EVERYONE should be EXPOSING the RACIST LIE by the Democrats, Their Supporters, & THEIR Media!!

There is no evidence to suggest that. No complaints were filed with the Union, no complaints were filed with the company. The only person saying that is his girlfriend, who obviously has a reason to claim this whole murdering spree wasn’t his fault.

Big_F-ing_Deal says: “The funny part is that Fox would have been all over this story as a race issue if they hadn’t already been thoroughly disgraced for the ACORN, NBPP and Sherrod race baiting.”

Beck mentioned that the story had racial overtones, and it seems from the shooter’s perspective it did.

The shooter’s death shouldn’t be added to the total. By the way, we now know that pig girlfriend of his is also a thief (as well as convicted druggie)

Anne, he was also a Muslim. And someone down thread said it, but I’ll repeat because Churchill said you can’t repeat the truth too many times – his ‘own-goal’ shouldn’t count toward the death toll, That last shot was just him saving the state the cost of a lethal injection.
