Today at the airport I was watching CNN and the stories about the shooting.

I actually heard this..

The Base Commanders have they don't want any speculation regarding a motive. We have "{mr psychologist on the payroll}" here and we're going to listen to his hypothesis about what lead to this terrible event.

They brought on someone to 'hypothesize' about 'cause' in the very same sentence where they reported that the government didn't want anyone to 'speculate' about 'motive'

If that's not pure balls, I don't know what is.
