For talking points memo to live up to its name and spit out talking points about their blogger who is the suspect in the Carnahan bombing. Jim Hoff is exactly right about this:
Don’t expect the state-run media to touch this with a ten-foot pole.
Well I haven’t seen Morning Joe touch it.

You mean the firebombing of Russ Carnahan office last week is yet the latest chapter of tea party violence that wasn’t:
The suspect was reportedly a disgruntled progressive activist employed by Russ Carnahan. An unnamed source familiar with the case released the information. Suspect Chris Powers reportedly was upset because he did not get paid so he firebombed the Carnahan finance offices at 2 in the morning.
What a complete shock.
Will we see any pullback from the media about the tea party since the suspect is a blogger at TPM, active in the progressive movement for years? Of course not, mathematically sooner or later they are bound to be right on one of these stories so why stop betting on it now?
If you were wondering why this story has gotten no national play, this is why.
Update: Dana Loesch asks the question:
Did the Carnahan camp know this and consent by silence to the media’s attempt to trump this up as a tea party incident? If this is true, doesn’t this make the fourth incident in which people associated with the Carnahan campaign have run afoul of the law and have engaged in illegal behavior? Why didn’t the Russ Carnahan campaign correct the narrative of the local alternative weekly and Jake Wagman’s subtle suggestion that it was a tea partier? Because he’s in the campaign of his life and is desperate for anything, even the sympathy vote?
