I don't think the media really accepts the full significance of the efforts of the Muslims to take over the world. I think more incidents of this kind will continue to occur, and they won't be able to hide it, or their bias.

News is a business. If you go to McDonald's there are many items on the menu . It's all fresh and hot and you order what you want.
McDonald's on the other hand has a different agenda they want you to buy the item that has the best profit margin.
Just like the News lots available but the high profit items are advertised to entice you into buying.

Your question is very sophisticated. You are smart enough to know the answer already.
The mainstream news media in America do not report the news, they sell entertainment in order to sell their product (newspapers, magazines, radio, TV). In order to sell entertainment you sell lowest common denominator violence, sex, fantasy, prejudice, and Elvis memorabilia.
Public news media such as public television are no better because they must treat every person and cause equally, otherwise they would be charged with discrimination. Therefore loony left-wing nut cases are treated the same way as responsible conservative commentators.
I've stopped consuming mainstream media entertainment and public political correctness, and visit multiple web sites for my news. For example:

http://www.washtimes.com/

Sadly, people getting along does not seem to warrant much media attention.
The media (all of it, liberal, conservative, local, national) makes its money based on entertaining people. Keeping them coming back for more.
People getting along is boring. It doesn't hold the interest, and does rile the emotions. So, the news channels don't show it because they can't sell it.

Typical of our media trying to control public opinion, and now reaction against the "Peaceful" Muslims and their "Peaceful" religion. They won't be able to much longer, if this type of thing continues !
