Amidst all of this carnage were conflicting reports of the lone gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, and consternatingly, his "seeming" political affiliations.
The Associated Press Spin
In fact, when reports first came out from the Mainstream Media, the initial buzz seemed pinned to the fact that Loughner, who actually survived his mass killing spree, was ex-military and an anti-Government Tea Party "radical," which quickly proved to be totally wrong despite continuing attempts to imply those same connections throughout the night and into the early morning hours. For example, in an article from the Associated Press, Reporters Terry Tang, Amanda Lee Myers and David Espo were maddeningly adamant to display a right-wing connection that simply did not exist. In fact, interjecting a bit of spin started early-on in the article when the reporters wrote the following:
"some politicians expressed hope that the killing spree serves as a wakeup call at a time when the political climate has become so emotionally charged."
We wondered initially, upon reading this "quotation," exactly, who these Politicans were and why they would opportunistically desire "strong political debate" to be altered by a killing spree? Our second thought turned to the next most obvious question, that being "are the politicians that the reporters are referring to actually the reporters themselves?" Maybe--maybe not--but this was just a warm-up for our intrepid reporters as the spin-fest would become dizzying from here on out.

His middle name isn't Wayne?
What's going on here?
They pinned it on veterans and tea partiers, but they forgot to pin it on nut “clinging bitterly to his Bible”. They could have had a threefer.
What a disgrace
Jared's attendance is public knowledge and can't be hidden, though it has certainly been downplayed.
The liberal media is not going to play up the left-wing education of a mass murderer educated in a school program supported by President Obama himself!
A bigger question is about what role did stay-at-home dad Randy Loughren play in his son's education: was he actively involved in the Small Schools Workshop program; is he a Democratic Party activist or a Socialist which the liberal media is covering up; what exactly is going on here?
(I do not believe Randy Loughren was a stay-at-home dad. What he was really doing has yet to be revealed, but he is being protected by liberals so it must be something they are afraid will be made public.)
The media knew everything about Joe The Plumber within 24-hours - why the censorship about the Loughren family?
This bit is bugging me too... very strange that there is zero information coming out about the dad.
