Is there some reason the main stream media, in this case, today, the New York Times, has, for not saying the alleged Times Square Bomber has an MBA from a Unification Church supported university?
I know times are tough for MBA's with the Wall Street mess and the job market and all the many corporate failures that can be blamed on the failures of MBA's and the whole training of them, but is that the only reason the MBA credential and its source are not listed for this alleged bomber?
see below from NYT web May 13, 2010 about the raids and arrests:
Mr. Shahzad, 30, a former financial analyst from Bridgeport, Conn., who attended the University of Bridgeport, has yet to appear in federal court, and law enforcement officials have said he is cooperating.

He did more than attend the University of Bridgeport, he got an MBA there. Is there also some reason that the background of the University of Bridgeport and its connection with the Rev Sun Myung Moon and the Unification Church, is not mentioned in the main stream press?
See below, for places that do discuss this history:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
Officials at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut say the man suspected of parking a car bomb in Times Square earned computer and business degrees there.
School officials say Faisal Shahzad (FY'-sul shah-ZAHD') graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer applications and information systems in 2000 and later returned to earn a master's of business administration in 2005.

University of Bridgeport is an independent, non-sectarian university located on Long Island Sound in the South Bridgeport section of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA. The school is the tenth-most racially diverse university in the country.
The university had financial troubles in the 1990s and was the subject of controversy when the trustees were obligated to enter into serious negotiations with and subsequently gave control of the institution to the Professors World Peace Academy (PWPA), an affiliate of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church in order to save it from closure. Since then, in an effort to boost enrollment numbers, the University of Bridgeport has attempted to recruit more international students.

Here is part of the list of organizations supported by the Unification Church, from Wikipedia
•
University of Bridgeport of Bridgeport, Connecticut. [90] In 1992, following the longest faculty strike in United States academic history, the University of Bridgeport agreed to an arrangement with the Professors World Peace Academy whereby the university would be subsidized by PWPA in exchange for control of the university. The initial agreement was for $50 million, and a majority of board members were to be PWPA members.[91] The next University of Bridgeport president was PWPA president and holocaust theologian Richard L. Rubenstein (from 1995-1999),[92] and subsequently former U.S. Unification Church president Neil Albert Salonen (2000-present).[93][94]

Since thousands of words and hours of TV and talk show radio have been devoted to the real and speculated background of the alleged bomber, including claims of Democratic bumper stickers, apparently urged, incorrectly by Limbaugh, why does not the fact that he has an MBA from this University make it to the story?
The image of the downtrodden revenge filled bomber is what is being promoted in the MSM, but here the reality appears to be quite different.
I know MBA's are supposedly signing ethics pledges, but apparently not at the University of Bridgeport! Maybe there is a topic here for MBA graduation speakers! see: http://www.thecrimson.com/...
