A good follow up article for the sri-lankan bombing

There has been a lot said about how biased the msm has been in their coverage of the new zealand mosque bombings. Much of this was said before the sri-lankan easter bombing and I noticed this story today. And I also notice a large number of follow-up stories focussing on the radicalization of the islamic bombers and the tragedy of those killed by the bombers.

I dont see the accusations as having merit at this point. The msm, at least as that includes CNN, have given a significant amount of coverage to the sri lankan event. I dont notice it being inferior in any meaningful way to the new zealand mosque bombing coverage.

My general impression is that the tone of the reporting was not nearly as shrill and accusatory, more of a "just the facts" accounting, which is how it should be but so rarely is.

For clarification: Not nearly as shrill in this report as opposed to in new zealand reports?

Do you happen to have examples in mind where we could compare? This report of course is 2 weeks after, and so it is keeping the topic alive but would need to be compared to articles written in a similar timeframe after NZ and with a similar focus.

While you're looking i'll see what i can find as well that might be consistent with or contrary to your impression.

Like I said, it's just a general impression, and I readily concede that it could be a product of my own confirmation bias.
