    It was police who initially identified Ryan Lanza as the shooter. Lesson: always be wary of repeating police claims without scrutiny

        @holyghostie Yes, media often uncritically report whatever police tell them, without bothering to fact-check.

        @holyghostie Senseless killings are worth covering, but yes, media often over-hype unimportant things and under-hype important things.

        @mtracey Shooter was carrying brother's ID, and reporters didn't HAVE to say ANYTHING until all the facts were in.

        @mtracey @chrislhayes does that disqualify the police from becoming secretary of state?
