I was just out picking up some auto parts I ordered and at the auto 
parts store I overheard a customer talking about this shooting.
He heard about it on Fox News this AM
His retelling of the news coverage was that Fox News stated the reasons 
for the shooting were "not clear" but the shooter might have picked a 
church because he "may have hated organized religion".
That is apparently the current right-wing slant according to one Fox 
News watcher.
I guess that sounds better than saying "A fan of Fox News went berserk 
and started shooting innocent people who were perceived as too liberal 
for his tastes!"
