<<<<<As the cabin sheltering Dorner burned, the local CBS affiliate was reportedly told by law enforcement to zoom its helicopter camera out to avoid showing the actions of sheriff’s deputies. By all accounts, the media acceded to police pressure for self-censorship.>>>

Nothing worse than a 'right' wing conspiracy theory is the likes of this story. The LAPD has problems, but think about the above 'request' to CBS and ask yourself if you had been one of the San Bernadino police officers making an attempt to capture Dormer--would you want CBS or even Fox news to be broadcasting live their every move? Self-censorhip or showing on live TV officers being killed by a lunatic being able to see what the police are doing----common sense is that putting a police officer's life on the line is a no-brainer decision--not self-censorship. (IMO))
