Tales Told By Fools: Why The Media Can't Get Anything Right About Gunsby David E. Petzal

Imagine a newspaper story on automobiles in which the writer confused camshafts and driveshafts. Or a piece on investing in which the words “stock†and “bond†were used interchangeably. Or one that referred to Marines as soldiers (which will get you a punch in the mouth from any self-respecting Jarhead)...

Great comment on the article: "Journalism has become telling people what you want them to think."

It's all about spinning the agenda to people who don't know any better. You hear the lies enough and eventually you'll start to believe them.

the media reporting on the media about why the media can't get anything right because the media is stupid. In the media.

great article, and thanks for sharing. someone should email all the democrat representatives in Tennessee, Congress, the Senate, and the House of Reps that article. Not that it would really do any good anyhow, they're not smart enough to understand what that article would imply to begin with.

We'll never get a fair shake from today's mainstream media. If they got their way and guns magically disappeared, stabbings and bludgeonings would go up dramatically.

We are treated to almost-daily accounts of assault weapons that are supposedly being purchased at American gun shops and sent south of the border through an elaborate system of straw men, couriers, intermediaries, etc.

But as the American Rifleman points out in its excellent article on the subject in its July issue, drug cartels are huge businesses with unlimited budgets.

Why would they go to the trouble of buying two or three or a dozen guns in the U.S. when they could call their friendly arms merchant and get a pallet load of guns, still in the factory cosmoline, delivered right to their doors?

Exactly.
