White House-credentialed media outlet falsely accuses left-wing loon of Las Vegas shooting

Source: Think Progress

The Gateway Pundit, a pro-Trump blog that has been credentialed by the White House, ran a story Monday morning touting a conspiracy theory and misidentifying the shooter that killed more than 50 people and injured more than 100 in Las Vegas early Monday.

The shooter has been identified as Stephen Paddock by Las Vegas police, but Gateway Pundit ran a story headlined Las Vegas Shooter Reportedly a Democrat Who Liked Rachel Maddow, MoveOn.org and Associated with Anti-Trump Army that appears to be picked up from 4chans Politically Incorrect forums.

Geary Danley, reportedly the murderer of at least 20 concertgoers in Las Vegas, from initial accounts, was a far left loon, Joe Hoft wrote for Gateway Pundit. Per a review of his Facebook account, he was a fan of Rachel Maddow, Peoples Action, Democrats, MoveOn.org, etc

Hey Gateway Pundit and your fucking lackey's---------------------FUCK YOU, since this is your agenda too "tag" someone from the so called left, how about the families of those dead and wounded go out to your business and ask you some fucking simple questions

And since your organizations wants to try and link your shit to the left----------------------FUCK YOU again, not this time.
This lays at the feet of the U.S Supreme Court and their Heller decision and the fucking NRA and their BS of Sandy Hook, and at your feet Gateway Pundit, your organization has no fucking facts, and your just throwing shit out to see what sticks to the wall, and if you a can't report with any credibility then just maybe, better yet no maybe's about it, you should have your "press credentials" pulled and I hope the families of the dead and wounded take your worthless ass to court and especially of you accusing someone that had "nothing" to do with the massacre, so FUCK YOU

They were quick to ID him as the possible bomber or something like that. I think it was more vague than this

Isn't there anything we can do about this? If the entire membership of DU joined together to demand a congressional investigation into this site, wouldn't that help?

Isn't it time for the FCC to finally put into law, stringent regulations that make such sites anti-American.

I am sick to my stomach at the damage this site has already done, providing scurrilous lies and damage to Democrats.

Who will stop this??

Wasn't his father on the FBI Most Wanted list? I could see revenge being a motive.

The ISIS angle could also be true, but the attack probably wasn't for religious reasons (judging by the fact that he killed himself, whereas ISIS terrorists usually go out in a "blaze of glory). He may have used them for financial support and the guns. Of course, it could be total bs too.
