"PALM BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. national media are intentionally ignoring the case of a Tennessee man convicted of making death threats against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio because the man is described as an Obama “fanatic.”
That’s the claim of radio giant Rush Limbaugh who says mainstream news media would be giving the case high prominence if a conservative person were making threats against a liberal.
On Wednesday, WND reported on the conviction of Adam Eugene Cox, 33, of Knoxville, Tenn., who pleaded guilty to graphically threatening Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, possibly in connection with the lawman’s investigation into the president’s eligibility for office.
Among Cox’s Internet postings: “I plan to kill Arpaio first. He will be filled with a thousand bullet holes before the year is out. I promise you this. He won’t f**k with Obama. He will be buried 10 feet under and his whole family will be murdered along with him.”
Besides WND, only the Daily Caller and a few local television and radio stations in Arizona and Tennessee have apparently covered the story, according to a Google News search.
“You notice how little coverage this has gotten from the mainstream media?” Limbaugh asked on his top-rated program this afternoon.
“Can you imagine if somebody had threatened to kill – take your pick – and it was learned that they were avid supporters of Sarah Palin? Do you think you’d hear about it? Do you think it would be all over the news and do you think the media would try to go find evidence on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page on what could have inspired this insane lunatic to go try to kill somebody? Here you have an avid Obama supporter [committing the crime].”
