Media Bias.

Just this week I happened across a radio talk show where a well know conservative reported his most recent evidence of media bias. In February there was a gruesome murder in which a man is suspected of beheading his wife. The discussion centered around how this story didn't get the head lines the conservative thought it should. The accused man is a Muslim and the founder of a TV station dedicated to changing the negative stereotypes of Muslims.
At face value beheading appears to be an oddity in our culture and seemed irrefutable evidence that the media is sympathetic to Muslims. Why did this story not merit the same attention as some "lesser evil" done by another?

As I understand it, news is when man bites dog, not when dog bites man. It is expected occasionally for a dog to bite a man, but unexpected for a man to bite a dog.
Is there another reason that the beheading wasn't considered newsworthy?
Media bias exists. Yet, what if media is biased in the opposite direction from what we are led to believe? I think it is possible that American media expects Muslims to behave badly, so a man beheading his wife is not news. In the same way, American media expects Christians to behave well, and when that expectation is not met, it is news.

It saddens me that Christianity as a religion has become a "don't do this" methodology. The religion gets the reputation it is promoting, then blames others when held accountable for what it promotes. What a disappointing distraction from the glorious Kingdom of God that Jesus was here to establish. How do I maintain focus on what I am called to do, while turning my back on issues that rob my time and keep my attention? Is the fact that the Kingdom of God exists -- while people are looking for something they have yet to see -- news all on its own?
