Here we have a person, a volunteer at a gay center, that intended to kill people at the FRC building who was obviously influenced by the heated rhetoric from the left, including Mayors Rahm Emmanuel and Tom Menino and including the Southern Poverty Law Center over Dan Cathy's comments supporting traditional marriage. There's been very little coverage on the FRC shooting from the liberal news media because it draws negative attention to a liberal platform that they support.....
ABC's Brian Ross was too quick to suggest that a Tea Party adherent was responsible for the Auroa shooting before he had to retract and apologize......

Chris Matthews suggested a link of Palin and Bachman to the shooting of Giffords....

That's a pretty serious inference to draw with so little justification, I think. You might want to give reasons why the story is newsworthy enough (both on its own, and relative to other current news items) that the "liberal news media" should have reported on it.
After all, there's lots of shootings that aren't reported on by liberal news organizations and conservative news organizations, and the decision isn't always made on a political basis.
