I'll bet both the MSM and the University want to downplay the entire subject of the note.
Why? Because from what little we have heard about the note, the a-hole rails against RELIGION and RICH KIDS.
This is EXACTLY the crap he almost certainly would have absorbed in typical current English Literature teaching at a major American university.
Is someone out there scoffing? Try reading current issues of the leading academic journals for English Literature in this country. Learn what issues the members of the Modern Language Association seem to be obsessed with. You would not believe how much ideological garbage about race, class, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. pervades the academic climate.
Surely everyone will simply see through all the liberal/leftist b.s. that is spouted by these college professors, some will say? No, many don't. There are many, many ignorant students and weak-minded students and some simply disturbed individuals who grab onto all of this anti-American and anti-Judeo-Christian hatred that is peddled by these academics and make it their own gospel.
They need to release the note. Perhaps it's not full of the liberal political garbage about class and religion as I suspect. But we should know.
And by the way, I'm not "blaming" anyone but this a-hole kid for what he did. But just as the Unabomber was influenced by all of the environmentalist b.s. peddled by the liberals and leftists, we need to know if liberal and leftist propaganda influenced this kid so that we can better guard against its effects on others and better protect our families and communities in the future.

I would have scoffed two or three weeks ago, but in my quest to understand why Ron Moore trashed Battlestar Galactica, I read all this Media Theory stuff from academic journals and was surprised at just how "liberal" and degenerate it was.
And, worse, there was no rational thought; it was just "bash the status quo" and be obtuse, otherwise it wasn't considered "intellectual".
In high schools public *and* private across the country, freshmen were (and probably still are) required to read a book that involved a malicious and perverted father raping his daughter, then burying in the back yard the baby that she bore. She later went on to marry an abusive man, and found "rescue" in becoming a lesbian. Sorry for the shocking details - but this has been put forth to 14 and 15 year old kids as "literature."
Now we're shocked that an English major generates more of the same for class assignments?
