Apart from their complete support for genocide and especially zionism, I think the media was likely under orders to bury the terrorist attack in order to avoid a panic. People in the imperial core don't want to think about how they could be terrorized by their phones, cars, planes, etc. in a similar way. They just to hear about how zios slammed some "terrorists".
Yes considering how open most people are to device-based security paranoia you would think the fact they could have done this to westerners and blamed a terrorist organization wouldn't sit well with people. Is it only nuclear war and hacking people are trained to fear?
Yeah they're pretty cool for the alt media sphere, like Prospect and orhers they're a bit unrealistic about reform, but I take any investigative journalism we can get these days
