We are being informed – by one of CNN’s resident “experts” – that the man who is accused of shooting a few people at LAX (including a TSA agent who died) was most likely a “lone wolf” (Murray Rothbard had a more succinct name for the shooters of prominent people: a “lone nut with a gun”), and that there was no evidence the man was part of a religious group (he stopped short of declaring, in Monty Python-style reporting, that “no parrots were involved in the shooting”). All of this as part of the media’s “speculation as fact” approach to journalism.
