Well, last night listening to CNN and Fox was illustrative.
On CNN the dour looking girl and the "expert" couldnt seem to say enough "we just cannot know why, its too soon, its bad to presume, we just dont have a clue"
Fox News: we have web postings the guy made about suicide bombers, we have him ranting on base about the war, we hear he shouted allah akbar while shooting

Which one was spinning?

Yes, but this time they got lucky

Because it doesn't matter.  If you want yammer on about the "religion of peace," I have two words for you:

"Eric Rudolph."

Two more:

"Shelley Shannon."

Two more:

"Scott Roeder."

Two more:

"Michael Griffin."

Blaming religion first for violence is a very sharp two-edged sword, and those who rush to blame it first in others invariably tend to soft-pedal when the faith accused is a faith espoused.

Truth be told, and we know this from the gospels, religion is the rationalization, not the source.

This time is sadly, tragically, no different.

CNN and Fox are competitors but they are both fundamentally conservative. I heard those same exact facts from other sources as soon as they were available. The real differences is that Fox is willing to immediately draw conclusions from unconfirmed data. As far as why Fox was willing to focus on religion so early on? They have no class and because of their ultra nationalistic perspective and their largely fundamentalist audience. So focusing on that gets more ad revenue. Its like when a crazed American rapes and kills a some Iraqis the most irrational elements in the Islamic world use it as ammo for their political agenda.

So the real question isn't about why CNN and Fox are different, the question that should be be asked why Fox News and radical Islamic news sources so are so similar.

 Oh, it is the religion of peace (right). Well since we have one in the WhiteHouse, why not one in the Military, heck a bunch of Muslims. You know the ones we are fighting against. I have not heard any of them speak out against this crime, I betcha I will not either,

Ok, now I am speaking as a moderator....you have crossed the line with that statement.

Disagree all you want, that's fine, but in your post you either equated Jesus Christ to Satan or you equated me to Satan.  Both are inappropriate and inexcusable.

You have a conflict of interest and lack credibility.  You give yourself leave to insult others, and yet claim that your insults are "In Christ."  Yet you take offense at being called on it.  You would do well not to claim divine imprimatur for your hasty and angry remarks.

And I've reported you and your intemperance to your fellow moderators.
