CNN Admits Legal "Assault Weapon" Fired Into Ground, Not Target (Wayne LaPierre Was RIGHT!!!)

So now it turns out that NRA Executive Director, Wayne LaPierre, was RIGHT! That assault rifle demonstration broadcast by CNN was a FRAUD. Will CNN BROADCAST a correction? Will reporter John Zarella be fired? Under the very guidelines written by Wolf Blitzer himself, Zarella should be FIRED.

BTW, did Deputy Chris Worth fire into the ground on his own volition or was he TOLD to fire into the ground? If so, who told Deputy Worth to fire into the ground? This should be something for an ENTERPRISING REPORTER to investigate.

What we really need is a ban on assault networks like CNN.

"Here's the truth with neutral reporting -
Now, watch what an assault network can do to it!"

"CNN spokesman Matthew Furman said the camera operator didn't realize the sheriff's employee had switched targets and was firing into the ground."

And I am supposed to believe this, why?

[Check_Your_Premises]

Just an honest mistake. There was no attempt to mislead.

Sheriff's spokesman Jim Leljedal said Jenne favors extending the 1994 ban but never meant to misinform the CNN audience by participating in the Thursday segment.

"There was never any intent to mislead," Leljedal said

The "marksman" purposely shoots into the ground rather than hitting the target, but there was no intent to mislead.

Fat, lying weasel....

BUSTED!

Imagine that, a cinder block unscathed when its not being fired at. These guys are shameless liars who will stop at nothing to advance their perverted war on the constitution. CNN is much more dangerous than any of the so called assault weapons they get in such a tizzy over.

"CNN Lies, Fakes a Report"

The deputy actually was firing incendiary ammo into the gas tank of a pickup truck in the other test going on in the next range over.

Why would anybody even waste bullets by firing into the ground unless they were TOLD to do so? Some enterprising reporter should contact Deputy Chris Worth and question him on this.

SURELY A LAWSUIT CAN BE PURSUED.

Goebbels would be proud.

Let's see. You put on a test demonstation showing the results from two different rifles. In the first test you fire into cinder blocks. And for the second taste you point your rifle at the same pile of cinder blocks but for some bizarre reason you purposely aim into the ground. Does ANYONE out there believe this load of BULLSH*T?

CNN has Blair-ococcus it common cold going around most newsrooms.

Symptoms -- The inability to tell the truth and a devout fear of conservative principles.
