Here we have the media trying to cover for Hilary...
Some are saying CNN edited out the part where Hilary Clinton said the word "bombing" but eh whatever we expect that from a major Clinton donor.Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each referred to the intentionally set explosion Saturday night in New York City as a bomb, but Trump is taking the brunt of the backlash for failing to wait until police made a determination.
"Just before I got off the plane a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows what's going on," Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said during a rally in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Authorities say they suspect the explosion, which injured 29 people, was an "intentional act" but have provided no details about a suspect or motive. The device was put in a large metal trash bin in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.
A second device was purportedly found four blocks from the explosion. It appeared to be a pressure cooker attached to wiring and a cellphone.
Then we got this one...

People were saved injury and perhaps death because of a slow start, so there is that at least...A pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey shore town Saturday shortly before thousands of runners were to participate in a charity 5K race to benefit Marines and sailors, authorities said.
No injuries were reported in the blast in Seaside Park around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's office. He said no surrounding structures were damaged.
The FBI has taken over as the lead agency in the investigation. But officials would not say whether they believe the incident was terror-related or if they suspected participants in the third annual Semper Five run were targeted.
Brad Cohen, the acting special agent in charge of the FBI's office in Newark, declined to discuss the matter at length during a brief news conference staged Saturday evening. He also declined to take questions from reporters, citing the "active, ongoing" investigation.
The race had been scheduled to start shortly before the blast occurred, but it was delayed due to the large numbers of people registering for the race and reports of an unattended backpack being found. Della Fave noted that if the race had started on time, a "good number of people" would have been running past the area where the explosion occurred.
And finally.....

Eight people were injured and the suspect died at Crossroads Center on Saturday after an attack reported about 8:15 p.m.
St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson said the victims were stabbed by a man dressed in a private security uniform.
An off-duty police officer from another jurisdiction shot and killed the attacker, Anderson said. Anderson did not say where that officer serves during the news conference that started after midnight.
According to St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, the shooting happened inside Macy's.
Eight patients were taken to St. Cloud Hospital. On Sunday morning, hospital Communications Specialist Chris Nelson told the Times that five were released, and three were admitted with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Anderson said the attacker, who was armed with a knife, reportedly made references to Allah during the attack and asked at least one person whether they were Muslim. But Anderson pointedly declined to call the attacks an act of terrorism, saying the motive isn't yet known.
Luckily and off duty cop had a gun on him.
So we have what appears to be three terrorist attacks in a day in the US, luckily no one killed outside of an attacker, and this was MSNBC's front page after the NYC bombings...

So at least they are mention the "explosions" while being rather obviously extremely biased against Trump in all their stories. Apparently the other two attacks were not worth a mention.
Part of me is amused by the coverage because I enjoy being right, but really what the hell?
This *really* worries me long term, despite the information age. We have twitter and Facebook censoring points of view, we have new media taking direct sides, we have google filtering searches. Controlling information has always been an important tool of government. In a semi-informed world, as in people read the headline, maybe the story, but lack the intelligence or desire to really find out whats going on, aka the majority, controlling information is both harder due to the internet, and much easier, due to the same internet. Becoming on "unperson" is going to get easier and easier with more advanced ways to filter and block information. We are still in the "wild west" period of the internet, but its passing, and its passing fast.
