As near as I can tell (and granted we don't know the whole story), religion isn't a factor here, so it's not part of the story.
I suppose, though, that "conservative" journalists never bring up things that might tend to sensationalize a story.
That only happens with other journalists.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. It was the contrast between MSM and conservative journalist that Shinerbock pointed out.
Ethics of journalism? Tell it to Richard Jewell. You've got to be kidding, again, DeltAlum.
Who is deciding that religion isn't a factor and that it shouldn't be part of the story? How do they know? Do you remember a time that the ethics or journalism involved reporting the facts?
Just the freaking fact that it was in Salt Lake City and the dude wasn't Mormon seems pretty newsworthy to me.
Muslims who shoot things up and kill people for reasons other than religion better start leaving notes so they aren't misunderstood.
I'm kidding about the last part, but really after Sept. 11th, March 11, and assorted other terrorist attacks in the name of Islam, it might not be a bad idea if you didn't want people to be confused about the religion of peace.
