Guns and the news media !!!

Has anyone else noticed the increased news coverage of gun crimes lately!!!

It seems to be that the news networks and special interest groups are back with their one sided propaganda act now that their bleeding heart socialist friends are back.

Last nights 20/20 with Diane Sawyer once again proved ABC’s discontent for guns and that they do not care about facts or constitutional rights.
My favorite part was the flawed classroom study that anyone could have predicted the outcome.
I went to their website today and found the comments section.
I only read through the first couple of dozen or so, not one comment on their side !!! I’ll read more later. That’s if they don’t pull it !!!

Here’s your sign Diane!!! You are stupid

Sunday night 60 Minutes will have a segment on the spike in gun sales.
We’ll have to wait and see how they portray the issue but I think we already know.

Tonight on the evening news they re-ran the gun show piece.
Then went on to say how the e-mails keep flying in about outrage.
What they didn’t say was what the outrage was about. wtf

Sure there’s a few that I’ve found saying the “loophole” should be closed but the outrage is about their one sided propaganda attack on gun owners. Mad

These people have gone as far as to lie about what’s on their own website. Shocked

A website that anyone can go see for themselves!!! Confused

Years back one of the editors for our local paper said that he would NOT print any pro-gun stories. I haven't gotten the paper since. For the most part the media doesn't seem to understand the "fair and balanced" approach. I did see an independent survey right after the elections that said that FOX news was pretty good about airing both sides of an issue.

Fox may not be perfect, but they are closer to real journalists than any other.

Here we go again!!!
I know this story is old but, it has come to life again with the rise in drug crimes at the border.
Fox news has clearly showed how misleading and untrue it is with their report “The myth of 90 percent”
But once again we are hearing about it.

Fox news report: “The myth of 90 percent”

NRA-ILA: Video on the 90% myth

I wish that when these things come up they would get ran over and over the way they do when a child is involved in a violent crime.
I would like to see Fox and the NRA join together and run specials to debunk these things (like the 20/20 piece listed above) to mainstream media on a regular basis.
