I think the media was right to err on the side of caution in the case of Nidal Hassan. They were reluctant to call the incident an act of terrorism because they didn't want to spread fear and panic by spreading the impression that the murders were possibly part of a larger, foreign orchestrated or "sleeper cell" plot when there was no evidence for that.

...And the left wing media spreading FUD about a vast right wing conspiracy before details about the shooter are even disclosed is different how? :? Why is one acceptable and the other not?
