Once you understand that the media is a soulless left-wing propaganda machine determined to marginalize the right, everything they do makes sense. Those of you asking, "How can the media make the same mistakes over and over again?", fail to understand that falsely speculating that the right is behind or at fault for mass murder is not a mistake on the media's part, it is a political tactic.
Our craven corrupt media see tragedy -- be it dead schoolchildren or theatre-goers -- as a partisan political opportunity, not a time to come together and mourn until all the facts are known. Therefore, every mass-murder that captures the nation's attention is and will continue to be used to scapegoat and smear the political right.
Which is why even when that smear blows up in the media's face, the media doesn't stop. Obviously, the media think the hit to their credibility is worth it -- worth pushing, at every possible opportunity, The Narrative that the right is capable of such a thing.
1. Tucson Murders (2011): Within an hour of the senseless murder of six and wounding of 13 (including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords), the media was openly blaming Sarah Palin for instigating this crime -- and would continue to do so for weeks.

I wonder how many of today’s college students know that Kennedy was assassinated by a Communist, or as Oswald preferred to be called, a Marxist. I bet the number is very low.
It seemed as though it was just N.Y.C. but I can’t be sure as there weren’t any special landmarks that I remember but they mostly had that NY accent.
Am I defending him as a conservative? Absolutely not; he was a nut, but an overarching theme of his manifesto was an indictment of modern leftism and political correctness, and many passages would be perfectly at home right here at FR.
As his targets suggested, Kaczinski was anti-progress, anti-technology, and anti-academia, but generally because he saw those things as direct threats to human liberty.
In the 2000 campaign there was a widespread quizz circulated on the internet asking if a series of quotes were from Kaczinski's Manifesto or Gore's Earth In The Balance. It was funny and amusing, but one could have just as easily (if not more easily) found enough quotes in his manifesto for the quizz to have compared Kaczinski with Limbaugh, Buckley, FR, etc.

Read Jayna Davis’ investigative book on the OC bombing. McVeigh was a stooge for the muslims. Never doubt it.
Has Breitbart been infected? It set off the Kaspersky.
