On Thursday afternoon, the country was jaunted by the despicable, horrifying, and unimaginable shooting at the Annapolis, Maryland daily newspaper The Capital Gazette with reports of fatalities and injuries. 

Any reasonable person would condemn the situation and CNNers Juliette Kayyem and Brian Stelter promised not to speculate on the cause of the incident less than an hour of the initial reports, but they did just that. As for what or who was to blame, they placed it on the country’s “political atmospherics” and “the rise of threats against journalists” (read: criticism of the news media).
