I doubt any of them would be overjoyed at the deaths and injuries.
Media wise, this is a perfect storm for moderate to left leaning media outlets. They've been trying to assert for years now that Palin's crowd is full of psychologically unstable people. They've been saying the same about the tea party.
This is the first major incident of deadly violence perpetrated by someone that they can claim is loyal to both camps. "See, how could Palin put cross hairs over her district knowing that one of her crazy followers is going to interpret that as a fatwa."
Virginia Tech/Columbine had a similar mass casualty MO. Americans that expect the news folks to put 2+2 together for them will believe their spin. The same is true for the people that "only trust fox news."
It's not in the media's nature to wait for all the facts. It is in their nature to point the finger as fast as possible to pump ratings. As long as Rush sells he'll have a pulpit. Same with Maddow, O'Reilly, Olbermann, and the rest.
It used to bother me, but now I'm comfortably numb.
