Some Journalists Get It Right On Guns And Liberty
Examiner.com ^ | 03/15/09 | David Codrea

He's right. I have a growing category of stories on The War on Guns I call "Authorized Journalists."

I use it to illustrate pervasive media bias and ignorance when it comes to reporting on guns and gun rights-related stories. I then use that to stick it to mainstream reporters and columnists attacking bloggers as unreliable and blaming us for dinosaur media failing to adapt to a changing environment.

My message is basically this: You guys blew the trust you were given. If we did not have alternative media, stories would go unreported, under-reported, misrepresented and outright fabricated. You were supposed to be government watchdogs, and too many of you turned into lapdogs and cheerleaders for the state. And you still don't get it.

Wow! A dinosaur media story and an RKBA story wrapped in one.

If you click the links to the Wisconsin Newspaper you will see extensive quotes from the Judge's ruling about Open Carry.

Best regards to all,

The Bolsheviks know their own vulnerabilities, they just try to ignore them for as long as possible. Even unto bankruptcy and dissolution.

I was surprised to hear NPR (Nitwit Propaganda Radio) remind us Ghandi was a Cambridge lawyer and lived well in a mansion supplied by a donor who was quoted as saying "It takes a lot of money to keep this man in poverty" as part of a report on an auction of his sandals and personal effects.

Best regards,

Since the donor chose to pay for the house, I’m forced to assume that he meant that literally, without irony. Hard to believe, but if he meant it in the obvious, ironic way, he wouldn’t have paid for the house.

Well, it was on NPR (Nitwit Propaganda Radio) so it must be true regardless of what it means.

Best regards,
