Why exactly is there "Ayn Rand" in the title? If you still are not shocked, let's color the phrase a bit more : "Is it really necessary for liberals to bash values they don't agree with, while hiding their own shortcomings ?" There, you are shocked - but you can find additional food for though on http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2013/12/media_bias_case.html http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2013/12/media_bias_case.... http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2013/12/denver_posts_me.html http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2013/12/denver_posts_me.... Besides this "Colorado school shooter was an hardcore leftist and keynesian" (shocking headline selected for additional emotional impact) this is not what I often see in the news http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/14/dead-colorado-school-shooter-was-hardcore-leftist-keynesian/ http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/14/dead-colorado-school-shoot... But I guess if the guy had believe in objectivism and had been right wing, this would have justified headlines and a totally different wording - like this article on Salon. Ask yourself- why is it ok to do ad-hominem attack on one case, and not in the other? Why are you shocked when the headlines mention the political beliefs that you find totally normal, but you are not when the headlines mention Ayn Rand? Besides the shocking title, the content is awful. This article has nothing to do on HN. If downvoting this is easy, but explaining your disagreement is harder, my suggestion: bias at work.
