The Mainstream Media, in their zeal for ratings, or whatever it is that motivates them, is becoming a sick, twisted entity. They are more concerned with pushing an agenda than actually taking the time, and putting in the footwork, to get the facts on a story. Their reporting of half-truths, innuendo, and complete fabrications are embarrassing. The reporting in this tragedy is reminiscent of the shoddy reporting during Hurricane Katrina, where we heard of rapes and murders in the New Orleans Superdome, which later turned out to be not true. The tragedy in that case is that it prevented much needed supplies, such as food and water, from getting to the people inside the stadium, because relief workers were afraid to go inside. Now we are getting fingers pointed at everybody from Sarah Palin, to talk radio, to the Tea Party as being responsible for this senseless act. The actual shooter is mentioned, but only as a post-script to the media template that Conservatism is to blame. "Yeah, he is sick, but it was Glenn Beck who pushed him over the edge." The once- great U. S. Press Corps is now just sad and pathetic.

Have you complained about the stimulus package? You might as well have pulled the trigger yourself.
