    Hahahahahaha ... CNN hasn't been centrist since the first Bush administration.

    Having said that, I doubt most mass shootings have any political basis although it seems very very few of the shooters had any connection to conservatism while several had distinct ties to liberalism, a statistical correlation (note, NOT causation) that goes opposite to the way the mass media tends to portray things.

    I would tend to agree that there probably isn't much political motivation apparent in mass shootings. Of course, so many of the shooters die, it's hard to say unless they leave some clues before they check out.

    People from both sides of the political aisle do bad things. Liberals nor conservatives have the market cornered on individual violence. When it comes to governments I'd say the far left has killed WAY more than governments that lean right. At least in the last hundred years or so.

    Well, whatever they are doing is apparently working if you really think they are centrist....

    Exactly. Actual scholarly studies that looked at the slant of the media show that out of the 20 major news outlets in this country, 18 of them are far to the left of the average member of congress, except for Fox and I think the Washington Post. The Fox News news bureau is actually slightly left of center. Please note that this is the news on Fox News, not color commentary and editorials for those that can't figure out there is a difference.

    CNN is one of the news outlets that their news content is left of center, though not as bad as MSNBC.
