KBOO Original Docudrama "Mo Is Shy": Part 2
Mo is Shy, a KBOO docudrama of the Portland Christmas tree trial based on Joe Meyer's trial notes.
One year ago, Mohamed Mohamud was found guilty of trying to blow up Portland's Pioneer Square Christmas Tree. His sentencing had been postponed several times, now indefinitely.
KBOO reporter Joe Meyer attended every minute of the trial, wrote a script from his scribbled three notebooks, and called it "Mo is Shy."
Joe has written for the Evening News for three years. His first public affairs show was on the Joint Terrorist Task Force (JTTF) and featured Greg Kafoury warning of FBI malfeasance. Since then, Joe has produced shows on the Portland Water Bureau, Women in Programming, Coal Transport, Sex, and Fluoride.

Homegrown Terrorism in the media
Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) had this (and more) to say about a very chilling instance of a credible plot to commit ideologically-driven mass murder in the United States:<br />

"A sensational story of domestic terrorism is playing out in Albany, New York. Officials say two men–arraigned last June for terrorism charges, including conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction–planned to target Muslims with a diabolical weapon that would use high-powered X-rays to kill their victims silently and from a distance. Experts are divided on whether the device could have worked (<strong>Salon</strong>, <a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/06/22/klansman_and_friend_shopped_around_wmd_p... <strong>Huffington Post</strong>, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/20/x-ray-plot_n_3474109.html">6/20...), but officials assert that the suspects' plot was well-advanced before it came to the attention of federal authorities."<br />
