Are these so called reporters naturally stupid, or do they have to work at it?"

The reporter is doing the RIGHT thing in mot prejudging the accused. MAYBE there is an explanation for the chemicals being in his possession? Leave it to the prosecutor to convince a jury; it's not the job of a reporter to do that.
They reported the facts without reaching a conclusion on guilt or innocence. We should encourage that in a reporter.
yeah right. That is such the line if it was alleged a Trumper
Technically, you are right. In this day and age, of total PC, however, that usually doesn’t cut the mustard. If it were a Trump supporter, the media would have crucified him 2 minutes after the story broke. Since this chump was a leftist, he could have shouted from the rooftops, that his bombs were made to kill Trump supporters, and the ass hats 🎩 in the media, would still say his motives were unclear.
