How will the MSM react today regarding the shooter in WI???

Can they really use the "move along nothing to see" meme for this??? To me anything is possible, I mean will they use the "so you're against the troops" since he is a vet???

It won't surprise me if they bury it quickly but maybe they will surprise me and act responsible for a change...

in Oct of 2007.

I mostly say that because in yesterday's massacre there was prima facie evidence of xenophobia that is of broader significance and interest than a white guy shooting up white high school students partying with his ex-girlfriend

But the basic reason we don't know much is that the FBI and police aren't sharing much. The next official news conference is scheduled for mid-morning.
