Deducing From What Isn&#8217;t Reported
<p>There are a couple of things we can deduce from what the national press is not reporting about the killing of Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Bill Gwatney:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><b>The killer has no particular ties to the Republican Party or any other right-wing political organization.</b>  How do we know this?   Because that is without question what the national media went looking for before the corpse had cooled, desperately hoping they&#8217;d hit.  If they&#8217;d found anything, they&#8217;d be screaming it from the rooftops now.</p>

<p><b>The killer has no particular ties to the Democratic Party&#8217;s activist left or any other left-wing political organization.</b>  How do we know this?   Because that is without question the second thing the national media went looking for, desperately hoping they&#8217;d miss.  If they&#8217;d found anything, Gwatney&#8217;s death would be a non-story now.

</li>
</ol>
<p>Just another note in a series that probably should have included &#8220;How much sooner would the Hunter affair have been broken if John Edwards were a Republican?&#8221;  Of course, such questions almost answer themselves.</p>
