Amid the claims that overheated rhetoric heard on television and radio helped influence Tucson massacre suspect Jared Loughner comes a comment from one of his friends, who noted that Loughner "did not watch TV," reports TVnewser.com.

Ashleigh Banfield said that Loughner "disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right," according to an interview on "Good Morning America." Loughner wasn’t shooting at people, "he was shooting at the world," Banfield said, according to the report.
