I've paid very close attention to the television news coverage these last few days, and not once has anyone mentioned any details of of Dorner's alleged false report of police brutality. They haven't even revealed that this is why he was fired. All they've said is that he got canned and is pissed off about it. There have been a few vague references to racism, but nothing more.

By now it's evident that they're deliberately omitting these facts, and I don't understand why. Are they afraid that people will sympathize with him or root him on? Are they trying to shape public opinion? What the fuck. Thank god I don't rely on them for my information.

I also find it weird that they're spending 3x the time covering the snowstorm. Is this not a huge and fascinating story? News networks typically overblow this stuff with 'round the clock coverage. In this case it's almost an afterthought.

I've mostly been watching Fox and CNN. If anyone has seen decent coverage that I missed, let me know.
