Brian STELTZER: Journalists can't cover Oregon because, well, *remote.* Remote remote remote
Then he hosted on "Reliable Sources" one of those "experts" like the wingnut "expert" generals who decry not-enough-war. This guest claimed that he has seen two or three situations like Oregon, yes all of them with these militia types.
When STELTZER framed a question about how *some* people would ask why these militia types are being treated differently than, say, a Minority child being shot down, the guest said this was totally *different*, that these militia are "NOT destroying property" and other such threatening behaviors (such as being born *minority*?)!1
Anyway, STELTZER's main point was that poor journalists can't do this particular job because it is just too *remote*, too out-in-the-sticks, too far TOO FAR!1 Sub-text: Those militia boys are *SCARY*!1 That must be part of the reason that when a war zone is really just too dangerous, the war correspondents who are there are almost always furriners, why Katy COURIC and Anderson COOPER came home from Egypt and Diane SAWYER never went, walked on a floor map of Cairo in spike heels in the New York studio, hunching down and pointing at points of conflict on the Cairo map. Exception: Richard ENGEL.

And you'd have to wonder if was telling the truth.
