The Mainstream Media: Hellbent on turning any tragedy into an attack on the 2nd Amendment
Kyle Becker, editor of Independent Journal Review, compiled a compelling slide show that reveals the news media’s determination to spin the Navy Yard shooting into a PR opportunity for renewing their attack on the Second Amendment.
It’s hard to say who was crazier, the Navy Yard shooter or the news media covering his rampage. The mainstream media’s misreporting in their mad scramble to politicize the shooting exposed their left-wing agenda: seize on any tragedy to start stripping Americans of gun rights.
Such rare tragedies share some consistent fallacies in their news reportage: unique aspects of the event are blamed on society at large; and their supposed causes are not balanced by counter-factuals (i.e., extremely few of the people who play violent video games carry out mass shootings).
How much more evidence does one need of their deliberate advancing of an agenda? Oh, and great shout-out to RATM in the final slide!
