The utter hypocrisy of the liberal Left Stream Media. Is it any wonder that the market share of outlets like CNN and MSNBC are staggeringly low? They do not adhere to any journalistic standard but instead follow ideological boundaries. The shooting in Arizona was terrible but the alleged shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, was described by friends as a "liberal, left wing activist." Yet CNN and MSNBC are going out of their way to blame Sarah Palin and the rhetoric of conservative talk radio. I don't believe it is possible for them to be more asinine in their spin on the news. It would be more logical for them to blame The Daily Kos who published a now-removed (so they could attack Palin with clean hands, I suppose) comment that Gifford should die because she wasn't liberal enough. But that would still be a ridiculous assertion.
The internet ramblings of Loughner point more to a disturbed individual than to a true political/religious ideologue like Major Nidal Hasan of Ft. Hood Massacre fame. Remember how the same ones who are now pointing fingers urged calm and said we shouldn't rush to judgment about his Islamic jihadist motives? They were wrong then, too. Loughner is not a military veteran as some said immediately after the shooting. (Why do idiots always like to blame the military first? We've seen violence, true, and it is something we never want to see again.) There is no evidence that he is a member of any TEA Party group as the left-wing "Let's-take-advantage-of-this" groups have been asserting. He is most certainly not a Republican or a Conservative with two of his favorite books being listed as Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto both of which promote left-wing ideology. He may belong to some fringe group but it is one that is not aligned with either of the two main political parties here in the United States in any manner or fashion.
The investigation of Loughner and the shooting is ongoing. He is in custody. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et al., clearly had nothing to do with it nor did the political rhetoric of the day promote this sick act. Think about that when you hear a news commentator try to insinuate that opposition to Obama promoted an attempt on the life of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Who are really the promoters of violence?
