Oklahoma suicide bombing & MSM coverage

Have you heard about the Oklahoma suicide bombing? If your main news source is the Red Star or other MSM, probably not. (Michelle Malkin, as usual, has unparalleled coverage and links here and here.)

This is another story where bloggers take the lead and dig deep as the MSM writes about more important things, like those nasty SUVs. In fact, with papers like the Red Star gearing up to become USA Today light, there's every reason to tune in the blogs each day for your unvarnished news. The MSM still hasn't figured out they are losing readership because of their biased "coverage", not because of how cartoonish their front page looks.

Lileks weighs in, and how.
