NBC News and Fox News not responsible for murders of abortionist and Army private

Left-wing media-types such as Brian Williams, the anchor for NBC News, actually had someone on his broadcast this week blaming Bill O'Reilly, anchor at Fox News, for the death of George Tiller, the abortionist who murdered up to 60,000 innocent unborn babies over the decades in Kansas. Mr. O'Reilly has been blamed for Tiller's death by a number of media outlet talking heads.
Bill O'Reilly, on his program tonight, asked the question, "Is NBC (and anchor Brian Williams) responsible for the death of the Army private, 23-year-old William Long, and the shooting of another Army private?" Just one day after Tiller was killed, Army Private Long was assassinated in Little Rock, Arkansas by a radical Islamist domestic terrorist named Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, an American convert to Islam, who said he was angry because American soldiers were killing Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mr. O'Reilly wants to know if NBC's anti-Iraq war broadcasting slant is responsible for inciting Muhammad to violence and murder. He says emphatically no, just as he, and Fox News, are not responsible for inciting Tiller's killer to violence.
It is also interesting that the media are quoting prominent people on the left who are calling George Tiller a "saint" and a "martyr." Yet, these same media outlets have basically spiked the story of this radical Islamist, Abdulhakim Muhammad, murdering Army private William Long and wounding the other young private, 18-year-old Quinton Ezeagwula.
It is time for the left-wing -- including those in the "Old Media" -- to stop blaming people of faith or conservative commentators during the extremely rare times when an abortionist is killed. And, it would be wonderful if somehow they could find some sympathy for military personnel -- including Army private William Long -- who are assassinated by Islamist terrorists.
