5. The corporate media never tire of smearing Craigslist.
If the killer had used a printed classified ad or a telephone to lure his victims, would they be calling him the Verizon killer, or the New York Times killer? Despite all the gun deaths, you almost never hear about the Smith and Wesson killer. The only brandname routinely attached to murder in the headlines is Craigslist. The corporate media are on a crusade against Craigslist, because it provides services for free that used to cost money.
