Unions, teachers, death threats and the press (Updated)

Media Silence on Wis. Death Threats Is 'Intellectual Dishonesty and Journalistic Bias'  "It seems that some on the left are beginning to notice the epic journalistic malpractice going on in the media's refusal to cover a litany of death threats - some specific and credible - against Wisconsin Republicans for their support of legislation trimming the power of public sector unions.
""Burying the death threat story is a clear example of intellectual dishonesty and journalistic bias," liberal blogger Lee Stranahan succinctly put it in a piece at the Huffington Post on Tuesday. Stranahan wondered "why progressives shouldn't expect more from our media -- and ourselves -- than we expect from our political adversaries.""

"Workers believe the shooting was politically related."

Ignoring Death Threats to Wisconsin Politicians Is Media Bias  "Three questions for you."
1.Do you think of Republicans and the Tea Party as dangerous, violent extremists?
2.Do you think the Wisconsin protests over GOP Governor Scott Walker’s move to strip public sector employees of collective bargaining were peaceful?
3.Do you scoff at the right wing notion that mainstream media like the New York Times, the TV networks and NPR have a liberal media bias against the conservatives?
If you answered ‘yes’ to all three of those questions, then let me ask you one more …
Why isn’t the mainstream media talking about the death threats against Republican politicians in Wisconsin?
