The media would be much better if it really were objective. They did the same thing when they reported that the kid who killed all those people at the Aurora Colorado theater was a member of the tea party. The media is simply too pro-left and it blows up in their faces in a number of different ways. You would think they would understand that approximately half of the county disagrees with their leftism and seeks fair reporting. It is in the media's self-interest to be fair, but they just can't do it. They are becoming irrelevant and are slowly going out of business.
That's just silly....one side does not have complete control of media. The largest cable news network is right leaning. There are dozens of right leaning media-sites. Conservatives also totally dominate radio.
Anyone from any side that promotes false or poorly sourced stories will very quickly be rightly denigrated in the public sphere.
This is "fake" outrage.
