The bombing in Norman is staring to get noticed

This power graf from Mark Davis in the Dallas Morning News on why the MSM seem to be ignoring the story:

Is it political, because acknowledging a terror threat on our soil might bolster President Bush's war logic? Is it economic, out of fear of scaring people away from football games? Is it geographic snobbery because it didn't happen on either coast? Or is it a PC fear of seeming to lunge toward a jihadist angle?
Read it all here. I tend to think that it's a combination of all of the above, with heavy emphasis on the geographic snobbery angle. One has to remember that the MSM is headquarter on an island off the coast of the United States.
