Look how Fox News in the US, taking the suspicions that were immediately current that the massacre in Norway was the work of Al Quaida or Islamic terrorists, lost no opportunity to indulge in some Muslim bashing on a completely different topic. I wonder will some other network do a story about Anders Behring before…

I wonder will some other network do a story about Anders Behring before immediately segueing into a hostile interview with people who would share his broad outlook without necessarily justifying the cold blooded massacre of nearly 100 kids. Such as the anti-immigration Minute Men. Or a supporter of Israel.

And if they did, how long before somebody on Fox, probably Mr O'Reilly, launches a stinging attack on the crude opportunism and lack of sensitivity of some people who will stop at nothing to push a partisan agenda?
