Mainstream Media Questions Itself on Norman, OK Bombing

It looks like the mainstream media (MSM) has heard the blognet's query: "Where is the MSM on the Norman, Oklahoma terror-bombing attempt?".

CBSNews.com (yes, that CBS of Rathergate infamy, ironically) is asking essentially the same question. Their headline is:

"Is Lack Of Big Media Coverage Of Oklahoma Explosion OK?

The Canadian Sentinel applauds their asking such a necessary question.

Of course, it's essential to read the whole article to get the full picture.

My question now: If we the blognet hadn't been covering the story and questioning the MSM's astonishing silence on an apparent terrorist act, would the MSM ever have begun to care at all? After all, if the people, via the blognet, didn't care, why would the MSM?

Worth pondering and discussing.
