This CBS story which you use to claim that the entire Liberal media blamed Gifford’s shooting on Republicans, is a mainstream media source that you would normally distrust, and what was actually said in the article was this:

“We do not yet know what prompted 22-year-old accused gunman Jared Loughner to allegedly shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and others, including a child and federal judge who died from their wounds.”

So, if the CBS story that you use as proof that the entire liberal media blamed Gifford’s shooting on Palin, stated that, (at the time of its publication), it did, “not yet know what prompted 22-year old gunman Jared Loughner to allegedly shoot Rep. Gifford’s (D-Ariz.) and others,” how then can you use that same news source to claim that it absolutely did blame Republicans?

The entire liberal media did not unanimously or beyond any doubts, blame Gifford’s shooting on Palin! That was one reaction that SOME of them responded with. And I have also told you repeatedly, my own opinion is that, the “critics,” CBS mentioned were making mountains out of molehills with the story. So, when you continue to claim that my comments deny that no one in the press made those claims, you are wrong there too.

The Griffin video was barbaric and uncalled for, and I have written letters to our local newspapers criticizing it for going too far. I have also criticized Saturday Night Live for its (exorcist like) portrayal of Kellyanne Conway. But there again, the people that created these inappropriate skits, are not typical of all Democrats, nor are they typical of the entire liberal media, which I believe has since also stepped up to condemned Griffin’s gross and horrific video.
