Again this flag burning has hardly been mentioned in the press. Dare i suggest the media bias?
I can just speak to US media. My guess is that with the BP situation (I know, I know - it is what is, though) most news/sports editors over here are going to sit on this one. They think that the US populace is prone to torches and pitchforks, followed by waves of good old boys with automatic weapons. No reason to wave the red flag in front of the bull. I think that's hooey, but that's the thought process in place in the US mainstream media. Basically, you can count on them to not show anything that the BBC wouldn't put on. Haven't watched the BBC news (channel 114 on my cable) but my guess is that it wasn't there.
