What do you think is the agenda? Do you think the agenda is coming from on high, above? Do you think that they are infiltrated by Muslims? Do you think that just because Obama is not a Muslim the news media has some sort of misconception that he really is? Are they simply scared of Muslims? Or are stories of Muslim atrocities getting to be "dog bites man" stories?
It's not that specific, not specific to Muslims. It's more big-picture than that. As mentioned above, there are essentially classes that the media will virtually always protect as much as it can. Whether it's ignoring a story, burying a story, burying the lead, ignoring facts within the story, pushing facts within a story, there's a thousand ways to do it.
Ironically, Fox News hurts the conservative agenda as much as it helps it. Since it's the only major conservative news outlet, it will cover stories the rest of the major media will not. But when it does, the rest of the media can just write it off as conservative bullshit. Of course, Fox's cartoonish hyperbole doesn't help its case, making the rest of the media's job that much easier.
If the religions in this story were reversed, you're right, things would be different.

Just couldn't help yourself with the shot at Fox. Fox is attacked because they do not adhere to the "agenda" that is all.
Still you give no opinion as to reason for the agenda.
Not sure what you're asking for. The vast majority of the media leans left and approaches its reporting from that perspective. In the particular case of religion -- which, as with most other things, has become politicized -- the media will behave as one might imagine.
Does that answer the question?
