All the news that’s fit to hide

How many paragraphs does it take to mention the religion of the latest terrorists caught trying to blow up buildings in New York?

New York Times, 9
NBC, 5
AP (Washington Post, Fox News, USA Today): never mentioned
CNN: never mentioned
CBS, 7

Kudos to ABC, who mentioned it in the second paragraph.

BTW, the religion of the intended targets were mentioned in the first paragraph in almost every news source.
