There are certain narratives - utterly false - for which the MSM and ProgMedia are DESPERATE to find supporting stories. The fundie-white-supremacist-domestic-terrorist-gun-nut narrative is one such narrative. And while there certainly are white supremacists "out there", they've been less than cooperative with the MSM when it comes to doing the shootings and violence crap they're "supposed to do". This incident is example # 5,328 (I may have missed a few ... thousand ...
) of how gullible MSM and ProgMedia folk are when a story fits their confirmation bias.
