During the age of Obama, the major media have gone fully AWOL. If they fear that their reporting will lead to inconvenient discoveries, they simply stop their advance, lay down their notebooks, and disappear. This trend began in the Clinton years and picked up momentum after the 1994 electoral debacle, but the Clintons at least worried that the media might turn on them.
If Barack Obama ever had any such anxiety, the nonreporting on Fast and Furious, Benghazi and now Sandy Hook has had to reassure him. Sandy Hook is particularly disturbing because the truth is, or at least should have been, so accessible. This tragedy should never have spawned anything like a conspiracy theory, but it obviously has.

Have you taken your questions to the Newtown Bee???
How about the police and firemen and first responders who live in your midst. Have you asked any of them your questions???
We hear of people detained at the scene They have been identified as Christopher Manfredonia and an off duty officer from another town. Is that all true.
A citizen-initiated grand jury is an enormously difficult process because the local authorities will bring everything to keep it from happening...can’t have the proles exposing the malfeasance, bad for business.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, this one defines that to perfection. The news media is what is really wrong with our country today. Yes, we have a unqualified imposter in the White House, but the media looked the other way on anything that would make him look bad. And for what? Do they really think that they are going to be spared when the iron fist is slammed onto the desk? IMO, the media will let all of our freedoms be swept away until the govt takes on the first one - the very one that affects them. Then they will be outspoken.
If that is true, Jack, and you believe that, then why aren't you relying on the police dispatch that was recorded LIVE and published the day it happened by the NH Register -- before the NBC narrative was aired.
I thought you were smarter than that.
"may" -- "may????" -- where the h have you been??? Their whole report was wrong that morning and you say "may"???
and btw they did apologize for it the evening of the 15th on the NBC Nightly News.
Where you been, Jack???
I can imagine that the fear and the frustration of the normal Newton citizens must be there.
I am praying for you and your town, and the other citizens. I am really sorry you have to go through this.
I am sure there were a couple, or a few deaths and I am sorry about that loss of life.
I was a Prosecutor for 25 years, and few things have disgusted me as much as the “Sandy Hook Truthers”. Utterly disgusting.
I, for one, do not know what happened...all I know is, I do not trust or believe anything the media, or this administration tells me...
I respectfully disagree. You seem to assume that the subterfuge would mean that no kids died. But that's not how these false flag operations necessarily work. The point is to create the desired climate of fear. If innocents have to die, then, as Madeline Albright put it, "that's a price we're willing to pay."
I don't doubt that a bunch of innocent people were killed. That's not the question. The real question is whether the shooter or shooters were operating with the at least tacit consent and even direction of the government.
There's enough evidence that they were to effectively shift the burden of proof to the government to show that it was no behind the incident.
And for me that's the main point. It's on the government to prove its innocence at this point. Their guilt is assumed pending convincing evidence to the contrary.
While I tend to agree, that could be a dangerous assumption.
The Newtown Bee is a bastion of hope in the terms of their reporting. The staff and crew there are top notch, and uphold an integrity that is rare in today’s media. That said, they aren’t paid any money from major advertisers. They love their job, they love their town, and it suits their agenda to just report truthfully, stand behind their facts, and get those facts in a way that is congruent with journalistic integrity. I always give kudos to Shannon Hicks - Who takes no opportunity to spread her own views on anything. She and her staff simply report things.
All people have been asked to refrain from making statements or talking about the case until such time that facts are all straightened out. This is common practice. Whenever it comes to crime it’s in the playbook to not discuss things outside of official channels or in an active court of law. That’s common practice.
The topic getting very cumbersome these days. And I’m not a towny, not someone who is a socialite. I frequent the coffee shop and the highway. Anything else in between isn’t part of my routine. I’m typical in that fashion. We just aren’t a tight knit community. My other town in PA is tight knit. But in CT, it’s just a bunch of people with nice television sets. No one really knows their neighbors.
“I was a Prosecutor for 25 years, and few things have disgusted me as much as the “Sandy Hook Truthers”. Utterly disgusting.”
Agreed. They soil FR and damage its credibility with their presence.
Again, an informative post which I appreciate.
Yeah, this is definitely a point of contention in the NE. Connecticut is a unique gun culture and legal environment. Most of the carry pieces here are focused more on concealment than on effective ballistics. We don’t have a big wild animal problem (Unless you are talking about the wild cavemen that inhabit the coastal cities) and we don’t have the car drives that take us though miles of wilderness (Where a break-down can be a survival situation). Add to that the liberal culture and you may see where I’m going.
CT hasn’t always been a “shall issue” state, and the police aren’t very friendly to gun owners. Added to that, a rifle is still under many of the Clinton bans throughout the state.
Where’s the brass?!
There should be no debate about the weapon used in the school, because the floor will be littered by casings. either elongated and tapered 223, or stubby and cylindrical 10mm, or obvious shotshell hulls.
Every first responder will have seen, and every photo will make it obvious.
Thanks -- that's all good to know.
And if people in Newtown have been asked to refrain from making statements, then I think that those outside of there can refrain from demanding statements, and making accusations about an investigation that they are clearly serious about.
Maybe.
If our brilliant government wants to create a Gun Scare® situation then they do it in the manner of Waco, Ruby Ridge, Michigan Militia, etc. They do not perform a complicated drill like Sandy Hook.
Have you ever met a GS-28?
What Obama desperately wants isn’t another Sandy Hook — it’s a Waco. He’s been begging for it for 4 years.
At best, if we wanted to say that Benghazi was planned by this government then we see what they really would accomplish.... heck, Fast ‘n Furious. That’s the kind of “smarts” we get from Obama.
Sandy Hook, as a planned operation, is waaaaaaaay outside of this group’s level.
But, hey, I could be wrong. Whatever. :)
What makes you think they don't have photographs of it all and didn't pick it all up???
Its standard procedure to photo and collect.
And then what makes you think that they would show off the brass or make the photos public???
They never do that.
