When the liberal media sides with the killers!-----A disturbing killing, and the media won't touch it - American Thinker

A disturbing killing, and the media won't touch it - American Thinker - By Jack Cashill
As I write this on September 16, the New York Times has yet to mention Andreas Probst, the retired 64-year-old California police chief brutally murdered on August 14 in Las Vegas. 
  • The initial silence is understandable. Probst was killed while bicycling at about 6 A.M. along a quiet road. The assumption was that he was the unfortunate victim of a careless driver who fled the scene.
  • By August 31, the media had access to the video recorded in real time by the passenger in the vehicle. It is chilling....The driver then steers the car directly at Probst, who is biking in a bicycle lane, unaware of the car approaching him from behind. "Ready?" asks the driver. "Yea, yea, yea," says the passenger, now giggling. "Hit his ass." The car hits Probst dead center, and he flies over the hood. "That n----- got knocked out," says the passenger. "We better get out of here," says the driver.
On August 31, KLAS in Las Vegas was reporting that the driver, "a 17-year-old boy," had been arrested and was now facing an open murder charge...
For the next two weeks, what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas. I could find no mention of Probst's murder beyond Las Vegas, and the local coverage...showed no interest in the motives behind the thrill kill or the potential racial angle.
  • UPDATE by Andrea Widburg: To give you a sense of the media's aversion to this story, take a look at the original report from the Las Vegas Journal Review before public pressure forced it to change the headline:
