This isn’t journalism. This is speculation. It’s hackneyed. It’s malicious, unprofessional, and dangerous. The lack of professionalism demonstrated by the above should be enough to shame them forever from the profession, but the profession now thrives on tabloid-level “reporting.”See all Dana's examples at the link.
After a tragedy the normal person responds by falling to their knees in prayer. The compassionate person responds with concern for the affected. The professional reports the facts and differentiates between speculation and confirmation.
It is the desperate and professionally and spiritually anemic who heartlessly view tragedy as a chance to settle some imaginary score. These individuals are baselessly impugning innocent groups and in doing so, inadvertently impugn themselves and their profession.
Also, at Twitchy, "Detective Chris Matthews speculates on tax day connection to Boston bombing," and "Michael Moore puts two and two together after Boston Marathon bombing."
Progressive ghouls. Same bullshit. Different day.
More on this later...it's going to be a major part of the story, unfortunately...
