Is the corporate media talking about the political motivation behind Adkisson's murders?
When I first heard of this story, the only report available actually suggested Adkisson was some kind of militant atheist. They quoted one of his neighbors saying that Adkisson was 'angry at the church' and that he 'considered the Bible to be self-contradictory'.

However, the police comments about Adkisson's letter and stated motivations make him sound more like a hardcore conservative and possibly a fundamentalist. Is that being talked about much in the media?

But what do you expect from the corporate media.


I wonder whether Keith Olberman, another Unitarian Universalist, will say anything about this, and if so, what will he say?

2. I imagine they're still stuck on stupid
and refusing to admit the guy's neighbors lied to them last night by telling them he was some kind of atheist with a grudge against Christians.

Those neighbors want their balls roasted.

4. nope.
just mention his frustration with not being able to find a job.

Now they aren't discussing it at all. Haven't heard a peep in the last half-hour. I've been flipping back and forth between CNN and MSNBC

5. The most I've seen is that he "hated liberals." I guess that will give the MSM and the right wing
noise machine the opening to blame liberals for this tragedy.
