Also Needed: More Sensible Reporting
April 21, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Fun tidbit in The Cable Game:
CNN’s Fredericka Whitfield, reporting on the spate of shootings in Chicago, said, in the course of her report, that these shootings underscored the need for “more sensible gun control laws.”
Well, obviously something bad is happening in Chicago-all these people, 31 in all, getting shot, with six dead. But how does one automatically conclude that we need gun control. The CNN clip showed Chicago Police Chief Jody Weiss complaining about AK-47s in the hands of criminals.

There is a concerted push on by police CHIEFS (political appointees) to bring back/expand the national “assault weapons ban” that expired several years ago - even thogh there has been no ‘upsurge’ in the use of such weapons (variously described) nor was there that much use of them, ever. This is of course being aided by the pig ignorant Evil Media.
