The N.Y. Daily News, and its editors and reporters, don’t know the facts, don’t know the background and, most important, they don’t know shame when it comes to the Newtown-Sandy Hook School shootings


Daily News writers, Matthew Lysiak , Dennis Slattery and Corky Siemaszko, and their editors have decided that its perfectly alright to kick around some of the corpses in the Newtown Connecticut – Sandy Hook School tragedy  —   those of the alleged shooter and his murdered mom


According to these three ghoulish creeps and their bosses at Mort Zuckerman’s rag,  it’s perfectly fine to put out this kind of reportorial offal based on very little hard evidence and in-depth background investigation: “Newtown, Conn. shooting: Sandy Hook elementary school gunman Adam Lanza learned to shoot from his gun-collecting mom  —  Mother Nancy Lanza often took her kids target shooting, landscaper Dan Holmes said. 'That was a passion,' he said. 'The whole family would go together.' Her 20-year-old son Adam killed her with one of her own guns before using them to murder 20 children at the elementary school where she once worked.” [It's since been reported that Nancy Lanza had no known connection to the Sandy Hook School.]

Less than a day after he was misidentified as his older brother, Ryan Lanza, an ALLEGED shooter Adam Lanza, who is now deceased and unable to speak out about anything, the Daily News has decided to tell the world that Adam was a matricidal mass killer whose “miserable life” was the product of a gun-toting and demanding mother, who apparently is the only victim of this tragedy at the hands of her son not worthy of any respect whatsoever.

This is most of what the “journalists” of the Daily News had to say: “His mother taught him the way of the gun. ***  Adam Lanza, the troubled nerd who turned a Connecticut school into a slaughterhouse, learned how to shoot under the watchful eye of his demanding mom Nancy. ***  ‘They went target shooting as a family,’ landscaper Dan Holmes told The Daily News. ‘That was a passion. The whole family would go together.’ ***   Nancy Lanza wound up being the first of her son’s 27 victims when he used one of her guns to shoot her dead. ***  Holmes, who often mowed the grass at the Lanza’s sprawling Newtown home, said the doomed mom was proud of her arsenal and once showed him a ‘big, beautiful rifle’ she had just purchased. *** ‘She was very proud of it,’ he said. ‘She loved her guns.’ ***     It wasn’t immediately clear whether this was the .223-caliber Bushmaster that was found in the trunk of Nancy Lanza’s car [Since the Daily News piece was published, that rifle has been identified by authorities as one of the weapons found "inside" the Sandy Hook School.]  after her son murdered six staffers and 20 innocent students at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. ***  Lanza, 20, used a Glock 9-mm. handgun and a SIG Sauer handgun to kill all those people — and then end his own miserable life.”

Most of what’s printed above is based on hearsay from “the lawn guy” about two of the dead in the pile of 28 bodies in and around a small town in Connecticut.  This isn’t good reporting, this isn’t responsible commentary, this isn’t even good old-fashioned Hearst- and Pulitzer-style “Yellow Journalism”  —   THIS IS SHIT ON PULP PAPER ! ! !

UPDATE: A day after the first posting of the Daily News article mentioned above, and it is still about the fourth or fifth item on my Google search engine for "Newtown Sandy Hook School" --- and another link to the same story appears a few slots below at about number seven ("with a bullet" ...)
