MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC and NPR Ignore Death Threats Made to Wisconsin Republicans


Continuing with my post from last week, and our class discussion from this week, many of the main media outlets in this country have yet again left out an important news story.

Everyone has heard of the protests/riots (I guess choosing one of these words presents a bias) that have broken out in Wisconsin. However, unless you watch Fox News you would have missed a major development in the story.

Wisconsin Republican lawmakers have received numerous death threats, yet no major news network has covered this story besides Fox.  You can check out the story here.
Even the Democratic lawmakers themselves have made threatening comments to Republican lawmakers.  Rep. Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) told Rep. Michelle Litjens (R-Winneconne) "You are f–ing dead."
