I think you are making up a controversy here just to support your own prejudices Rick, I haven't seen any less reporting on this dude's political affiliation or leanings than I did on the guy in Georgia who kidnapped the kid. Don't confuse what you read on message boards with the national media.
When did all survivalists become conservatives? I don't recall the media making an issue of him being anti-Obama or anti-liberal. Crazy is just that, crazy and that is what I got from the media on both these guys.
They keep mentioning that this guy was a navel reservist, Have they ever stated what he did while on active duty? Was he a cook or a corpsman, supply clerk, I don't think the navy has any ground pounders, but I could be wrong? I guess my question has to do with how much actual "combat training" he might have had. It sure appears to me that this wasn't a spur of the moment action.
My guess on the ending is they are going to find him holed up in a house someplace. He will die when the building burns down due to the tear gas fired into the house.

Are you really suggesting that the MSM would NOT be highlighting a white Rush Limbaugh/teapartier's ideology? Remember what happened immediately after the Giffords shooting or the Aurora massacre? The press started looking for tea party connections (and Palin bullseyes) to paint an anti-conservative narrative.
If this cop was an NRA supporter, the press would be saying "see! look at how dangerous THESE people are". The press loves to be proven right and when they're not, they quietly change the subject or ignore the facts comppletely. If the recently discovered drone memos would have been found under Bush, the media would have went off, and so would Obama. But since Obama is allowed free reign to do whatever he wants....SILENCE
for the most part. Our media is just an extension of our political system.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

And please don't assume I get any useful information from message boards.

"Confirmation of my latter thesis can be found in the handling of Christopher Dorner’s rambling manifesto in which he purports to explain himself. Dorner, it turns out, is a fan of President Obama, Dianne Feinstein, Colin Powell, Piers Morgan, Chris Matthews, Brian Williams, Soledad O’Brien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Vieira, Tavis Smiley, Anderson Cooper, and Ellen DeGeneres. Meanwhile, he reviles the NRA and Wayne LaPierre, believing that the latter’s advocacy warrants the death of his family before his eyes.
But, as Charles Cooke points out, “in the combined 3,240 words of the lead stories from the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press, there is no mention whatsoever of the political contents of Dorner’s screed.” To be sure, they all mention the manifesto, but not what’s in it, even in New York Times’ specific post about the document."
