White privilege, however, makes us think of them as aberrations, rather than cut from the same cloth as other extremists, see the list here. http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2013/04/17/terrorism-and-privilege-understanding-the-power-of-whiteness/<br /><br />As for CNN, you're right Dean that reporting is bad too. However, that is a report from a day later than the NY Post report which specifically pointed to "Saudi National." Had CNN made their report when I initially wrote this, I'd chalk them up to the same standard, are they journalists, or hyper-active gossipers?J Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652648530259268948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137362259041815195.post-62370072041318107922013-04-17T20:39:19.014-04:002013-04-17T20:39:19.014-04:00One more thing - today CNN reported that the ident...One more thing - today CNN reported that the identify of the suspect may be know or unknown.

While this isn't an arrest per se, I bet many non-lawyers would consider this a form of selective questioning as a type of custody. Though the NY Post should not have posted without all the information, I doubt the FBI gave much information other than they were looking into a suspect. I would like some empirics on why "That “other-ness” has peaked since President Barack Obama’s rise to power in 2008." is true.Dean Fleyzorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745908253588507146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137362259041815195.post-89534652714246877842013-04-17T15:07:06.849-04:002013-04-17T15:07:06.849-04:00Statement from the FBI about yet (another) reporte...Statement from the FBI about yet (another) reported arrest: “Contrary to widespread reporting, there have been no arrests made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack,” the FBI said in a statement. “Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and attempt to verify information through appropriate official channels before reporting.”<br /><br />I agree, while the public has a strong desire to know what is going on, the news media needs to be more careful about the veracity of what they're reporting on.Rachael Dirzuweithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209665210471408441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137362259041815195.post-19683199446513575992013-04-17T10:17:28.481-04:002013-04-17T10:17:28.481-04:00I think there is a difference between "racist...I think there is a difference between "racists" and sterotyping. If you look at all the acts of terriorism conducted against the country in the last twenty years, other Timothy McVie they were all performed by middle eastern males between the age of 20-40yrs old. I think the reporter from the Post is quilty more of being lazy than a racists.<br />I dont remember reading anything in the article about President Obama or Fox News is this fact or your personel view, or could you be sterotyping?
