Eric at Classical Values is wondering why there is so little coverage of a story about a reporter murdered in Oakland California.
I think the answer is that the press does not wish to call attention to the connections of Barack Hussein Obama with the Nation of Islam's leader or the Nation of Islam itself.

My understanding is that the Oakland Black Muslims were with a cult which had spun of from the NOI back when Oakland was a hotbed of Black Revolution. As such, the blowback would be minimal.
I really think that the Moorish Science Temple should be getting more attention here. The names Bey and El are the give aways.

It reminds me of the incidents surrounding the Danish Mohammad cartoons. My local paper bent over backwards not to reprint the toons even going so far as giving over a full page editorial to a representative of CAIR.
It was cowardise, nothing more.
The murder and subsequent raid on the Black Muslim Bakery never appeared in the pages of the Bee, although they did give a link to the AP's scant coverage in it's online newswire. I think they are cognisant of the fact that Muslims in America are just as likely to take a shotgun after Bee editors as they are to take out an Oakland news editor.
The silence is a life insurance policy of sorts. Either that or they are taking pay outs from Saudi bankers.
