Perfect example of a story the media could make big news, if they wanted to. I think their bias shows through in a greater, and harder to detect, way in story choice than by specific reporting.
Kinda crazy, isn’t it.
"The package matched the description of 11 other suspicious packages found at military bases around the country since Friday."
Ping.
Freema, thanks for starting this thread and for the ping.
Thanks for the ping. First I’ve heard of anything like this.
I saw your post about this on the Threat Matrix thread this morning. I was hoping for a follow up. Please let me know if you hear any more.
TIME TO REVIEW...Everyone check out this poster regarding suspicious packages and suspicious letters. Thank you.

Thanks for the ping.
You’re welcome Jet Jaguar.
Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Hank McIntire says the package matched a security advisory issued after white powder began arriving at state capitols. The mailings, found to be harmless, have been received at governors' offices in 39 states and two U.S. territories since last week. All of them were postmarked from Texas.

EXACTLY. It's not "We report you decide", it's "We decide what to report so that you can decide on the garbage we call news".
Thanks for posting freema. Very interesting.
Here is a report of media offices receiving white powder. No date, though.

Atlanta Police Department spokesman Officer James Polite said a contract guard at the Atlanta Federal Center found a suspicious package just before 7 a.m. Monday and alerted police.
Polite said a K-9 unit was brought in and two separate dogs reacted positively to the package. He said members of the Atlanta police SWAT team and bomb squad were called in.
Even our governor, Mike Rounds (South Dakota), received a suspicious package last week. Just corn starch.
I don’t know. Makes me want to kick some butt.
