Seems like there is a media blackout for Freeper/Minuteman Tyler Froatz. Why is that?

[NNN0LHI]

No update in days on good old Tyler. And the corporate cable news channels never reported it? They are back to reporting on the big blond dead womans will today. Edit: I suspect he doesn't fit into the anti-immigrant theme that they have all been presenting lately.

1. Because he's "their" kind of terrorist

If he was "our" kind of terrorist it would as bad as the yatter about Anna Nicole.

[YOY]

2. The moment one of us goes apeshit (as unlikely as that sounds)

Money says their face will be plastered all over the tube.

Liberal media my ass.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Do we know what his freep username is(was) yet? Is there any (cough) discussion about

his arrest, and Kristinn's vouching for him, at that site? (LOL)

[hobbit709]

4. They probably purged him as fast as they could

just like the phony anthrax mailer.

[rasputin1952]

5. I think that now that they have him in custody, until the

investigation is relatively complete he'll be on ice as far as the media is concerned.

While I don't agree w/the lack of coverage, this is a very serious matter, I also figure that there is a moratorium, based on a directive from "higher up" on disclosing anything about homegrown terrorists. If anyone was trying to terrorize people, in this country, this was it, but since he's not of ME descent, he's an embarrassment for the Gov't, especially Homeland Security, who had no idea this clown was marching in the parade.

6. Maybe he's just not that important. n/t

[NNN0LHI]

7. Not as important as Anna Nicole's will thats for sure n/t

[SoCalDem]

8. Tyler Froatz?? A freeper name if I ever heard one :) n/t

[bullwinkle428]

9. Same reason we never saw a Chad Castagana mugshot?

:shrug:

[NNN0LHI]

10. Kick to keep the freepers away n/t

[NNN0LHI]

11. I guess domestic terror just isn’t as sexy as “Islamofascism” or something? n/t

[Ghost in the Machine]

12. Umm.. because he's WHITE? If he was a homeless brown skin living in

a warehouse and was entrapped by an FBI informant the snoozepapers and teevee talking heads would be all over it.

[NNN0LHI]

13. Lou Dobbs always reports fondly on his news making Minutemen. Why not this one? n/t
