Predictable. Hannity's staff summarizes "what we know" about Austin bomber. Omits fact he was RWer

A home-schooled conservative Christian.

The ONLY background their article

https://www.hannity.com/media-room/serial-bomber-heres-what-we-know-about-mark-anthony-conditt/

offers on Conditt is that he attended Austin Community College.

I posted this morning about Conditt's 2012 blog posts

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210389349

after seeing tweets about it.

There were lots of news stories about the conservative views Conditt expressed there within a couple of hours, several hours before that article was updated by Hannity's staff.

Wonder why they omitted it?

Conditt didn't appear to be motivated by terrorism or hate, but the confession investigators found on his cellphone was "the outcry of a very challenged young man" dealing with problems in his personal life, said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley.

He was a 'conservative' who targeted blacks.

Has anyone yet called him a domestic terrorist?
