Attempted mass-murder by terrorist obviously not newsworthy because he's christian

Robert Rankin Doggart, a former congressional candidate from Signal Mountain, Tennessee, was caught on tape and on social media talking about wiping out a Muslim community in upstate New York. The buildings Doggart planned to destroy included a mosque, a school and a cafeteria.
Doggart proposed burning the buildings down and personally killing the residents with his assault-rifle.
Doggart actively recruited other people to join him in the attack.
Sounds like terrorism?
Calm down, it's not. Because he's not a Muslim.
"Doggart was allowed to plead guilty only to interstate communication of threats and faces a maximum of five years in jail."
"One big reason for the lack of media coverage was that neither the FBI nor the US Attorney’s office put out a press release about Doggart’s arrest. In contrast, the FBI office in Knoxville, the one that handled this investigation, has posted press releases for numerous other recent arrests, such as for drug crimes and robbery charges."
"However, when a Muslim is arrested in a sting-type operation, as we saw recently in Brooklyn, the FBI touts that arrest to the media with a detailed press release. We have also seen US attorneys hold press conferences to announce the arrest of Muslims, as we witnessed recently with the six Minnesota men charged with planning to join ISIS. But not here."
------------------------------
Imagine a Muslim openly calling for the death and destruction of a christian community, recruiting other people for his attack, and practicing the shoot-up with his assault-rifle.
Would he get away with "interstate communication of threats"?
Would his arrest go without press-releases?
Would it go without wall-to-wall coverage in national media?
