There is no better example of that hypocrisy than WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson.

Memory can be a confounding thing. 2011? That’s not very long ago. When I recollect the event I put it around 2003-2004 (which I know to be wrong).

Yep, and for two to three days, the media kept running continuous video loops comprised of footage/imagery of Giffords, along with blood on the pavement, the photo of the little girl who was shot and killed, and Sarah Palin walking up to a podium at a tea-party event. The media dumped the bloody bodies right on Palin’s doorstep. An incendiary juxtaposition of imagery worthy of Eisenstein and Soviet-era propaganda films. Over a hundred-thousand death threats made to Palin and her family as a result.

Even more galling, virtually no GOP leaders spoke up and came to Palin’s defense. The silence was deafening. And sickening. Just about all respect I ever once had for the Republican Party died that week, witnessing their cowardice and dishonor.

Although the shooter was a loon, he was a Leftist loon. He was a fan of Gifford, but got miffed that she didn't pay him the appropriate homage when he tried to contact her.
The Media's storyline that this was related to Sarah Palin's 'targeting' Democrat candidates during the election was a malevolent lie - and they knew it.

Assuming that Loughner was aiming for Giffords...

Just happened to catch an episode of “Frontline” on PBS last night. It was about the NRA and included quite a few clips of Gabby Giffords. For PBS, it was fairly close to a balanced presentation, but no 1 currently active with the NRA agreed to be interviewed. It was an interesting recap of events surrounding the NRA and the gun control movement, but definitely not a defense of the 2nd Amendment.
