Interview With A Knucklehead
Michelle Malkin (not a knucklehead) gives a nice
recounting of her experience regarding an interview she gave to a Wall Street Journal reporter (the knucklehead) concerning the Hinrichs case.
I read her post (3 times) and just read the article. Amazingly, it was free, so I guess that's something.
But a quick synopsis of the two pieces boils down to pretty much this:
Even though blogs such as this one went out of their way to report on the Hinrichs case in such a way that did not, I repeat did not make any solid conclusions, the MSM is firmly convinced that we're all just a bunch of black helicopter seeing, rumor mongering, attention whores.
Never mind that Rusty's posts in particular on this subject have been geared towards pointing out that there were things that warranted a closer inspection. I don't recall any hard statements here claiming as fact that Hinrichs was a Muslim terrorist. The Jawa Report merely criticized the lack of MSM attention, and pointed out certain things that were miraculously reported, and said that they needed to be looked at more closely.
As far as my opinion? I think Hinrichs committed suicide after learning that Harriet Miers was nominated over him to replace O'Connor.
Hey, it's just as good as any other theory.

Good point vinnie. Blogs mean we get answers to the questions we want answered not answers to the questions the MSM pre selects for us. I mean if we are so irrelevant why does it seem that if stuff shows on the blogs first it's not long before MSM picks it up. I've noted several times that little things here or there end up all over about two hours after the blogs pick it up. We lead they follow the upward pressure of the blogs on the media is undenyable.

Don't feel bad. I had a Wall Street Journal reporter ask me for a phone interview, and then never called. And never wrote the planned article, either, it seems. Oh well.

Look, comments I made on my own blog theorizing that there may be a terror connection due to other events in Oklahoma in the past that need to be investigated got picked up by Mark Tapscott's page - namely that Oklahoma seems to come up early and often in terror plots against the US (9/11 hijackers spent time learning to fly in OK and Moussaoui spent time there as well at the mosque that Hinrichs
may have attended.
I suggested that this needs to be investigated more thoroughly by the media, who seemed perfectly content to let this story slide.
Considering that we're talking about a guy who blew himself up on gameday outside a football stadium crammed with 84,000 fans, you'd think that someone in the media would want to look at this story in a critical fashion.
We now know the answer - not very. They might not like what they find.

That's nice, Filthy, and when I write a post about Schippers going after Clinton, I'll make sure to let greg post an on topic comment about it.
