To b_b's point, it's all about profits and having the shooter be a Tea Party member gets more viewers. They would have been just as excited if they were an Occupy Wall Street organizer. It's not partisan driven, it's profit driven. As we've discussed before, they are all in to make money. Anybody that relies on MSNBC, CNN or FOX for their news and information is going to be a poorly informed person. Even if you watch it knowing that it's skewed and biased, it will taint you. You can't watch episodes of the Three Stooges all day and not sometimes get the urge to poke somebody in the eye. -Be careful what you ingest.

I don't forget them.
What I think is telling is that people on both sides "believe" in news organizations. That's been the great achievement in cable media, they have become something to "believe" in, people source identity from them. People have done this for years with political parties, religious affiliation, nationalism and sporting teams but now people do it with which cable news channel they watch. People feel the need to defend Fox or CNBC with the same type of vigor that they do their faith or their alma mater. It makes no sense. I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me
