So the media has been fully erect for months over Daesh and the possibility of radicalization of youth via the internet and their ability to then carry out lone-wolf attacks. Now there is what appears to be one by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez and... it's not on the front page of Reddit, MSNBC is off still talking about the confederate flag, foreign media outlets don't even have it in the minor articles.
The Boston marathon bombings by Islamic radicals killed fewer people and they caused a mass panic for days. What is different this time? Why is it barely national news? What is being hidden?

It was national news until they knew the suspects name and got a picture of him. Personally, I think that since it wasn't an angry white guy mad about the flag debacle (its Tennessee) then they really couldn't get many clicks. But then again, I'm not that smart.
