Public Death Threat on Tea Party Leader, Media Mostly Ignores Irony

I'm going to give this guy a little slack for now. Afterall, he was just shot by a lunatic. But it's amazing, that just after an insane man shoots several people peacefully gathering at a political event, stout Democrat, Eric Fuller makes a public death threat to the leader of the Arizona Tea Party. It was covered by the MSM of course, but not to decry Fuller, they covered it making him a victim of gun violence (which for once I guess the narrative this time is more truer than usual) but they focused on why he did it (because his "target"was a Tea Partier, so no biggie there-not that you would know that from most MSM outlets as they chose to omit the party status of ) as opposed to who he is, just like they did not a week earlier with Jared Loughner.

This time there was no way to blame conservatives (other than the victim of his threat was a Tea Partier and "drove" Fuller to it) but my question is, who will stand up and incorrectly blame the media for Fuller's threat? I mean, it's the media who have been incorrectly and purposefully portraying the Tea Party as ignorant, violent, racist anti-Obama rednecks. Maybe Fuller used this to form his misinformed opinion? Don't hold your breath thinking that they'll even entertain that thought. And you'll pass out if you think they'll apologize or take any reponsibilty whatsoever. Not they should, but goose and gander, know what I mean?
