Reporters lie. Sometimes. They like to shade the truth to make a better story. Sometimes. But most of the time they report factual stories in a factual way, lying only by omission and by the particular stories they highlight. Now we have a columnist who is openly calling for lying by omission.
Oh, Noes! The Humanity! They told all and sundry that he was a convicted felon.
He was a drug dealer.
You have to ask yourself why. Why does Barry Saunders get worked up into such a froth about a TV newsreader pointing out that a criminal who got murdered was a criminal? I’ll tell you why. Because it’s effective. Barry has appeared here before sneering at us toothless cousin humping rednecks for going to the gun show. Barry is anti-gun. Barry hates it when he brings up all the “Gun Deaths™” and we fire back with “yeah, but how many were criminals?”
Anti-gunners can’t argue with reality. Facts cut against their argument and they know it. Their only option is to tell us to shut up. Don’t tell the inconvenient truth, let us get away with our pretty lies.
He, and all the rest of the liars, can kiss my ass. I’m not shutting up for them or anyone else.
Agree! If we don’t push back, they’ll keep saying it’s the truth till some fools believe it… sigh
Agree with Old NFO – we have to keep pointing their duplicity at every opportunity. Especially so when they keep referring to ‘gun violence’ – I’ll keep saying it – violence is a human action, guns are inanimate objects.
