Watched several media outlets today play on emotionalism when covering the Uvalde school shooting.
First building up by detailing the individual victims lives, and the agony their families are experiencing, then
attacking guns with a vengeance for twice as much air time.
The media playbook is cultivate anti-gun sentiment with their newscasts, then turn right around and glorify
so called gun violence with their network programming....Hypocrites!

Did they mention that the shooter was a mental case who thought he was a girl?
Im guessing they tried to gloss over that and blame an inanimate object...

No mention of that LL, just lock-step media anti-gun playbook tactics, so predictable.

Been obvious for a long time the media playbook is whatever the left wants.

Where guns are all but illegal for the common man to carry. Who'd a think it?
3 day weekend coming up, they might go triple digits but the media will never even ask Beetlejuice about it you watch.

Yep, Chicago puts things into context, it's a true blue utopia, nothing to see here that fits the media narrative.

You guys should really stop telling on yourselves. It’s clear you don’t consume any news at all. It’s odd how you continue to mix ignorance and confidence.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/07/14/upshot/drug-overdose-deaths.htmlHere is massive story from one of the biggest papers in the country. Use google there are dozens and dozens of stories on this topic.
Same with gang violence in Chicago.

I bet that will help.

37,000 gun laws in the United States, which one fixed the problem?

Re: Cultivating anti-gun sentiment - 05/26/22 05:50 PM
Fixed this for you.
Google (
contributor to Fake News ) has plenty of links showing weekends of 30+40+ shot weekends.
But I wouldn't expect much different to come from a self proclaimed
"CAMPAIGN FINANCE MANAGER", but more liberal regurgitation.
Plus your ABC TROLL report appears to reference 2011.

You seem to reinforce Marty's statement. While your sources are newspapers, Marty was meaning you don't hear the liberal media crying about it on TV breathlessly after every incident in Chicago or NYC
