Recall that one week ago a bomb was found in the USA which would have done similar destruction during an MLK celebratory parade.
The media is all over Russia, the media barely noticed the attempted MLK bombing. Oh and the MLK bombing would have occurred on US soil.
So what's the deal?
Guardian UK: The rhetoric of fear feeds terror
...why did the national news media give the attempted bombing at the Spokane MLK Day parade such cursory amount of coverage?
None of this would matter if the mainstream American right was dedicated to rationality and civility. But since the mainstream right has embraced conspiracy theories and talk of insurrection, they've created an environment where the fringe right can flourish.
The evidence demonstrates that many on the right have already figured out that they now have greater licence to sow paranoia and call for violence after the Tucson shooting. One of the people still alive on Beck's Jewish-heavy rogues gallery, liberal sociologist Frances Piven, has been receiving a crushing number of death threats.
