Liberal media checks the pulse of conservative first

Newsweek's blog is checking all the conservatives sites to see if any are offering crazy, anti-islamic thoughts about the Ft. Hood shootings. The one that makes the most sense and nails the libs perfectly isn't exactly argued with, only quoted--Victor Davis Hanson who argues that Americans' understanding of Islamic terror has not progressed in the last eight years and needs to be updated.

In other words, the narrative after 9/11 largely remains that Americans have given in to illegitimate "fear and mistrust" of Muslims in general. A saner approach would be to acknowledge that there is a small minority of Muslims who channel generic Islamist fantasies, so that we can assume that either formal terrorist plots or individual acts of murder will more or less occur here every three to six months.

And then there's the issue I raised yesterday after watching Obama's press conference in disbelief

The National Review's Jonah Goldberg poses perhaps the most interesting political question, wondering aloud about Obama's slow response to the shootings yesterday, and questions whether Obama's famed coolness could become a political liability by coming across as aloof and uncaring.

I haven't found their assessment of the liberal media--the ones who don't use the M word.
