They will push any info, no matter how absurd it sounds is to reasoning humans everywhere, that spins police action/inaction in a positive light.

Did they even realize they were being played? Did they not smell something in that "he broke his own neck" conclusion? Instead of "chuck-todding" it like they did? "Oh, it's not OUR job to judge, or to call bullshit, or to NOT pass along deliberate and deliberately-contrived falsehoods! We just pass everything along unquestioned and unvetted and unchecked, and YOU be the judge. YOU do the work. We can't possibly be bothered. After all - GASP!!!! We might lose ACCESS!!!!!!!!!!!

That's why Cenk Uygur got screwed at MSNBC. The thin-skinned CONS in Washington complained that he wasn't being softball enough, and MSNBC caved. Got rid of him instead of telling THEM to go stuff it. I don't know why they're so afraid of losing access. They won't have dead air problems if they lose access to some Sore Loserman GOPers. There are PLENTY of other voices and faces to fill the void!!! Including most of those on our side who usually aren't sought after for that precious almighty ACCESS - at all.
