Sorry.. no right wing deliverance scene here after all. Except the dead guy looked a little like one of the bad guys in said show. It would have been nice if a few of the left wing hack media outlets would have spent more time getting the facts straight, than to demonize the right in the process of a suiside faked to look like a murder.
Ehhh You were only running with the liberal spin medias inability to report news . Have you seen this reported in any T.V outlets news show?? I have not only in the newspapers, and even there it tends to be buried. Pretty bad when news outlets are more mouth pieces than true investigative reporters as they once were isn't it?
Funny, I saw it on CBS, Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow, as well as Fox news. I don't watch anything else. You woulod know that if you watched something other than Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly.
So you list your 3 liberal sources as well as assuming I only watch Billy O'rielly an non news source but an opinion programs and he advertises as just that.. opinion. The other two you claim as hard news are in fact opinion and choose to masquerade as hard news... Go figure.
Glen beck is self explanatory I would guess ..he tells you he is not a news person but a preacher for the libertarian stance on government. Now I wonder where some heads are.
By the way the three sources you chose to site didn't run the article until a couple newspaper outlets ran it first.. I think that should never happen in the days of instant access to information. this used to be T.Vs advantage over the news print. but it is no more they cant bit the hand that feeds them you know.

I commented before my computer crashed, so will try again. No this has not been mentioned on the "liberal" stations at all. It requires admitting that conservatives were blamed unfairly AGAIN!
Besides the leaders in DC probably did not "approve" it to be on the "liberal''s" newscast stations.
You too ugly, and Tuebor, and whoever else is up here on this day to give thanks we are still in a country folks come to rather than run away from. I hope in spite of all I feel is wrong right now with it this continues to be that way.
So right Guido, and with these freedoms, comes prices, that which we, as a people, cannot condone, nor ignore. It makes us a whole people. But, without some problems and conflicts, we could not be strong enuf to overcome it. JMO
News coverage is a tragedy in itself, so I am perplexed why everyone so far has came on here and been surprised that they embellished this killing for their own ratings or political bias. The true tragedy, however, is that this Sparkman guy apparently killed himself in an effort to allow his life insurance beneficiaries to gain money he felt he could not provide them with. The tragedy was he reached the point where he thought he was of better worth to society (and his family) dead rather than alive.
I am on record thinking this was a set-up, in that someone made it look like a certain profile did the deed, but someone close to the victim did the murder. I am not convinced it was a suicide based on the presented evidence, but this is a lot more plausible than the original theories, and does present a lot less problems for the police and the life insurance company.

Tom I cant dispute that your theory isn't valid either, based on the sketchy coverage of the media. So I do tend to be skeptical as daily the media doesn't even attempt to be an investigative agency anymore but a mouthpiece for who ever has the best sound bite.
I find myself more intrigued nowadays by reading the newspaper and doing a psychological analysis of the reporter and asking these questions to myself: Did they have a political bias (either way)? Did they interject any personal views? Why did they report fact 'A' but not report fact 'B'? Did they present the 5 W's in the first paragraph?
The correct answers should be no, no, they reported all relevant facts, yes. But it doesn't happen. I see what would amount to interesting news stories "reported" by LT members here, but they remain hidden from the greater public in the LDN. Ohio papers are just as bad. Total tools of the local governments, who wonder why they are going bankrupt. Who wants to read propagandistic pabulum? The answer: very few, including those who agree with it.
