It's perhaps too early to rely on reporting.

Way too early. One factual tidbit drops and everyone is slobbering all over it trying to figure out what it means. Then the next one drops, and the process repeats.

Unfortunately, that is what multiple 24 hour a day news channels does for you. No one takes the necessary time to gather lots of facts, then report on those facts. We have to spend half a day trying to figure out what meaning there is in the fact** that he stopped at a convenience store to relieve himself an hour before arriving a the rally site.

The reality is that we'll likely never know why he did this. The best we'll be able to do is gather some inconclusive information and speculate away.

** To be clear, this is not a verified fact. Probably not factual at all. I completely made it up as an example. On the other hand, maybe we need to find out if he bought skittles or a chocolate bar while in that convenience store. Maybe it was M&Ms, and we need to know if he ate the green ones.
