Jack McElroy, Editor KNS - Ignoring Gun Crime Won't Make it go Away

 

75% gibberish up front prior to his whining about something... not completely sure what.

But on chance of reading his mind -  UBC on law abiding cizens and inherant supression of willingness to seek mental-health care will ?

KNS is as about as bad as it gets. The guys and I set around during breaks and read the comments. We make bets on who will be the first person to post a snide comment. Did anyone read the article about the "drive by" shooting? Ya know, the one where the goobs used a BB gun. Anything makes news on that site.

I am thoroughly convinced the comments section on KNS' and every other newpaper website will one day cause an aneurysm to burst in my head.

 

Most of the Perspective section of today's print edition is devoted to "taking a look at both sides of the debate".  Whatever.  It was about 75% pro-control.

McElroy and the KNS are surrogates of Gannett.  They hate guns, the Second Amendment, and think you and i are too rustic and hotheated to own or operate a weapon like a gun.  They also must hate elections and debate because they always give one side of every issue and scold you if you happen to take the other. 

 

As Garfua has said; the "comments" section is the "real entertainment" if you are in the right frame of mind.  The most important thing the KNS puts out is the cartoon and want ads sections of the paper. 

 

The real use of the KNS and most other big city and "chain" papers is propoganda and lining of bird cages.

I chose to ignore that whole section of the paper yesterday. I'm glad I did.
