I am probably naive but it seems to me looking at things in the hazy retrospectoscope that Walter Cronkite objectively reported, and the media today jump on the first few details of an event and place those in the prism of "reporting" to validate their own particular brand of the world view, either left or right or somewhere between, depending on which media outlet you are tuned into.
But my son who is 12 summed it up after watching the details of the shooter/shootings and said this is evil.
