CNN's coverage is typically inane and ridiculous. The guy says he did it. He posts a GoPro video of himself doing it. But CNN won't refer to him as anything but "the possible suspect." You're journalists, if you can't put the two together and make the bold leap to declare someone who admits to a shooting and uploads video of himself doing it, maybe you aren't smart enough to be informing the public.
And those tweets, "Adam might refer to the cameraman named Adam." No, shit, really? It's like they're so terrified to say anything wrong they won't acknowledge obvious things to the point where the coverage is totally useless.

Damn… I knew I should not have watched that.
I do not regret watching the first video as I feel it had valid informational value. I greatly regret the momentary lapse in judgment to watch some asshole's sociopathic snuff film.

Dude's manifesto said it was in response to Charleston shooting and that if white people want a race war bring it on. That's America for you.

The fact that you get violently angry over so often and over such little things make me thankful for gun control.
