Our eagle-eyed archivists at MRC who record live network coverage thought it was curious that ABC and CBS weren't joining in as NBC offered live coverage of today's memorial service for the dead and wounded at Fort Hood. As The Wall Street Journal reported:
TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: bho44; bloggersandpersonal; forthood; mediabias; sourcetitlenoturl; trashtv
Par for the course.

It’s probably just too real and scary for them to deal with.

Actually, as I recall, the ratings for the all-out Jackson coverage were not all that great.

I did not watch NBC - never do - but on another therad one FReeper said she watched NBC and they did cover a lot of the Service but as soon as Zero was done they cut away!
I watched FNC and they covered it in total from about an hour or more before the Service started to the end and the soldiers were leaving. FOX said there were about 15,000 there.

It would only have been of interest if a white militant had killed a bunch of black Marines. The MSM is scared sh**less of Islam. They know that they can attack Christians and Conservatives with impunity, for liberals are cowards. They are scared of their own shadows, and they will NEVER attack Islamists.
