I've noticed the same thing. You can also add in when a terrorist attack is carried out by someone affiliated with certain beliefs (trying to keep it News Desk friendly), even after it is confirmed the attack was in the name of those beliefs, the media is very quick to emphasize that the attacker is an individual and shouldn't be used as an indictment of the entire group (as they should). In this case the shooter has deliberately been used to indict a political belief system generally and Palin, Angle, Beck, and the Tea Party specifically despite there being zero evidence so far that he was involved in that political belief system or paid any attention to those specifically mentioned.
I find it absolutely pathetic that some in the media (and in politics) who separate the crazed acts of an individual from the group with which they identify have immediately used this crazed individual to indict groups with which there is zero evidence the shooter identified.:td:
That isn't as clear as I would like, but I'd hate to see this thread moved to the War Room as a result of something I said.
