Another hideous attack on innocent citizens....and the media either assigns the blame to the political Right.....
....or hides the provenance if it is related to the side historically associated with violence and mayhem: the Left.
For example.....
1. "Karl Halversen Pierson, 18, barged into Arapahoe High School in Centennial with a shotgun on Friday, set off an explosive device, shot one student in the head, then killed himself. ..."This shooting was the result of revenge on the part of the shooter because of a confrontation or a disagreement between the shooter and the teacher that the shooter was looking for when he entered the school just before 12:33," Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson told KMGH."

And there you have it....all of the significant details of the case.
Sort of.
The truth, and the political Right are also victims when this sort of reporting is ubiquitous.
Main stream commits a lie of omission when it chooses to ignore the following two items as though not news-worthy:
2. "Student On Arapahoe School Shooter: "Very Proud Of Being A Socialist""He was friendly enough. Very proud of being a socialist. He was very outspoken on his political views," student Angie Mock said. "To him, it just meant economic -- more economic equality."

3. " Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with the gunman, described him as a very opinionated Socialist. He was exuberant I guess, Conrad told The Denver Post." Arapahoe School Shooter ?Very Proud of Being a Socialist? | The Foxhole
Perhaps not a factor in the shootings....but the reporting is very different when the media can blame the Right.
4. There was ABC's original report: "ABC draws possible Tea Party connection with alleged Aurora shooter...ABC News has suggested that James Holmes -- the suspect in today's shooting in Aurora, Colorado -- may have a connection to the Tea Party."

5. And when there was an attempted bombing, Mayor Blumberg of NYC suggest culprit might be a right-winger..." Mayor Bloomberg: NYC Bomb Suspect Could Be Someone Who Didnt Like Health Bill

6. When Jared Loughner opened fire on Rep. Gabrielle and killing six other people, where were the headlines screaming that he had been educated in a school funded by Barack Obama?
a. In 1991, Maoist Michael Klonsky and Bill Ayers co-founded a project known as the "Small Schools Workshop" (SSW), premised on the notion that if high schools were to limit their enrollment to no more than 400 students (and optimally to fewer than 200), the learning atmosphere on campus would be improved. Klonsky has served as SSW's director since 1993.

b. In 1995, with Barack Obama as its chairman, the newly formed Chicago Annenberg Challenge, or CAC, a school reform organization, gave the Workshop a grant of $175,000. The CAC provided another $482,662 to the Workshop over the next few years. AZ Shooter?s High School Used Curriculum Founded by Commie Bill Ayers | Weasel Zippers
c. The concept may be called small schools, but Klonsky and Ayers uniquely grasp the force-multiplier effect. In a small class, the teacher preaching the social justice gospel that American capitalism is a racist, materialist, imperialist cauldron of injustice can have greater impact on the students he seeks to mold into his conception of the good citizen and on the teachers he is teaching to be preachers.

The media:
Right wing associations with violence, implied.
Left wing actual ties to violence, hidden.
