"Things ain't always as simple as the new media try to make them."

That's for damned sure! ;-) I bet if you lined up all the people who wanted Anwar Sadat dead, the line would stretch from here to Jerusalem. You could have said the same about all the people who wanted John Kennedy dead in 1963. There are often quite a number of different elements and groups involved in arranging a major assassination, and a number of different interests being served simultaneously by doing it.

The mass media like to make things very simple and primitive. They are programming a public who are used to TV shows and movies that make everything simple (with obvious bad guys and good guys) and settle it all neatly within about an hour (less commercial interruptions), so they figure that if they make it all dead simple, then people will:

1. understand the dumbass message being conveyed
2. believe it
3. and think no further about it

Thus is political propaganda foisted upon the masses, and mass conformity and obedience is achieved.
