Imagine you read an article: "Christian murders two Muslims by decapitation". That would SURELY be followed by days of stories about how Muslims have been so put upon since 9/11. That isn't true, but would you be surprised that the media portrays that as true? Check out statistics on the FBI website - hate crimes 2001-2011, inclusive are 66.44% against Jews, 12.1% against Muslims.
Anyhow...the aforementioned article never happened. There WAS an article: "Gruesome double murder, men decapitated". The men killed happened to be Coptic Christians and the alleged perpetrator was Muslim. No mention of hate crime. No mention on the national media.
No bias here.
