Yea, its the Muslims all right..

“Dark skin kind”......
Fucking amazing how MSM cowards and money makers have barely mentioned Oklahoma, Atlanta,
una-bomber at the beginning of this event.

Today I see they are beginning to explore other scenarios. Perhaps it might not be a foreign nationalists.

The story line of attacks by foreign terrorists brings in so much more revenue...So many more
so called “terrorist experts” must be disappointed.

Jesus Christ, when are we ever gonna be able to turn on the news on major stations and actually
get the real story....I guess we first have to blame ourselves....

already profiled Muslims/Arabs as the suspects or probable suspects have caused significant harm to the Islamic population in the US.

Ignorant conservatives will have one more manufactured illusion justifying their irrational fear of, and hatred for, Muslims/Arabs, and this will make it easier for the status quo to continue their policy of eternal war for profit in the Middle East.

But I don't expect to hear any retractions from the "guests" preemptively pushing the Al Qaeda / Muslim jihadist angle if they turn out to be wrong. I wouldn't even expect them to become scarcer on the cable shows in the future if they end up looking quite foolish. Somebody has a lot riding on keeping the USA in a neverending "clash of cultures" with Muslims, and I don't think they care how obvious they are.

because I'm interested in the markets. Their security expert has actually been gently guiding all along that this is likely a right-wing domestic terrorist rather than a foreign one. One very astute observation he made today was that the Obama Admin actually published a list of who he was meeting with today on this. NO foreign intel, policy folks; all were domestic security people. That's a pretty strong indication that they don't think it's foreign originated.
He's actually from the Bush Admin too, but seems to be quite sane and has been making very interesting observations all along. If you're not interested in the markets I suppose you'd have to sit through 95% dreck to get to his occasional stuff, but it sure beats what I've been seeing you guys put up from CNN and Fox. MSNBC/NBC looks like they're doing a good job, though, from what I see posted here.
BTW, Bloomberg never said anyone had been arrested either. They instead waited for the official word and then informed everyone that no, no arrests had been made.

I honestly believe that those who are in the MSM including Fox, are right wing pundits because of the money. It’s far more attractive living in luxury as right winger rather than sticking to one’s principles and trying to compete in moderate commercial environment..

I don’t think for a minute that any of those hard line rightwing pundits believe in 90% of the shit they
spew. But god, the money is great. And isn’t that what its all about..

Roger Ailes, who runs Faux Noise, is a true beleiver - a former Nixon speechwriter. But he is supposedly all about ratings, sees the RW blather as the best way to push that. OTOH, his 2nd floor office is armored 'cuz he theinks "teh gay" is coming after him.

CNN these days is a buswreck - I can't stand to watch. I think that they decided to go toward Fox to get ratings, and can't find their way back to real news.
