If this one guy can do what he is doing can you imagine what five of him could do?

He was extremely left-leaning and a proponent of gun control according to his manifesto.

If this guy had a "tea-party" background then that would be all we hear about from the MSM.

None of that matters. This is an individual not a group.

Of course it doesn't. Just pointing out that if this guy was right-leaning, the MSM would try to convince people it matters.

Love the MSM moniker. Can't read it without hearing it screamed by one of the GOP blowhard radio hosts or that dolt Sarah Palin "Lamestream media"...

I'm not sure what the relevance of your post is other than to deflect.

The purpose was to show that the right tend to blame everything they don't agree with on the MSM and their "liberal slant".

Well, I'm not blaming anything on anything, I just pointed out an observation.

And I don't use the term "MSM" to be derogatory, its just easier than typing out CNN, MSNBC and Fox. They're all propaganda machines.

Except one is much much worse than the others.

MSNBC and Fox are both absolutely terrible.

Fox is just awful, but I wouldn't say MSNBC is much better. To be fair to Fox() they view themselves as the only voice of reason() so they have to go as far right as possible, because most of the remainder of the media is left leaning, but they are much more centric than Fox News, which is comical considering their motto.

One of my favorite Daily Show episodes was last spring when Stewart just totally lampooned Roger Ailes. I'll post videos later if I hop on my laptop, but right now I'm on my tablet which makes it tough, but one of the highlights was:

Oh, Jon! Did I ever tell you that I, Roger Ailes, plan to undermine the role of an independent press by constantly whining at any reportage that deviates from a staunch conservative narrative is biased, while at the same time filling the editorial
vacuum that that creates by building a Conservative propaganda juggernaut in the guise of a news organization... Jon, I'm gonna call the organization Fox News, and its tagline will be -- you're gonna love this: 'A Fanatically Micro-Managed Media Fiefdom Where My Own Far-Right Agenda And Personal Sense of Victomhood Drive Every Aspect of the Operation... and Balanced.'
