Newsbusters has an article up demonstrating how the mainstream media -- ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and NPR -- have all completely embargoed any news coverage of the multiple, verified death threats made in Wisconsin against Republican legislators by Democrat union thugs and their scruffy Madison leftist/socialist/communist grad student Che Guevera-poster tie-dye wearing supporters. Here's the key passage:
A radio station obtained this email, quote: "Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will be killed due to your actions I the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell," unquote. Wisconsin authorities are taking this stuff seriously. They have a suspect, has not been charged as far as we know.
Not taking this seriously were ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, and NPR. LexisNexis and closed-caption dump searches of "Wisconsin and 'death threat'" produced zero results for these so-called news outlets throughout the month of March.
Zero.
When you compare this to the hysterical coverage of last year's Tea Party rallies and town hall protests, where conservatives were regularly depicted as either hostile or fomenting violence, one has to wonder how actual death threats against sitting politicians would not be considered newsworthy.
Shameful.
