These Journalists Talking About Guns Is Why Americans Hate The Media

Journalists covering gun issues brought their profession into further disrepute following Sunday’s mass shooting in Las Vegas, filling broadcasts and websites with false claims and irrelevant commentary.

Two examples from Wednesday illustrate the profound ignorance that many reporters for legacy outlets, who are paid to know something about the subjects they cover, display in their reporting on firearms.

First up was USA Today reporter Heidi Przybyla, who appeared on MSNBC and endorsed Hillary Clinton’s unverifiable and desultory claim that the Las Vegas massacre would have been even deadlier had the shooter used a silencer.

"But articles that misuse, distort or fabricate terms about firearms only serve to strengthen the widespread belief among gun owners that journalists are out of their depth when they report on firearms."

Heard one supposed expert on CNN talking about how, in order to get the weapons up to the hotel room, he had to “deconstruct” them

Hate? Them? Nah, some sort of pity. Nah, 🖕🏻 Them.

Funny how these same “Journalists” who hate guns, are protected by armed guards in those newsrooms with..GUNS..so they are being protected by something they hate, they should tell those guards to disarm

It’s a coordinated effort to take political advantage of this tragedy. That’s why we haven’t heard much about the shooter so the headlines and talking points can be all about gun control. It’s a terrible thing they are doing but they don’t care, it’s all about advancing their agenda and holding on to power.

I pray everyday for the left’s demise and protection for our President Donald Trump.

You know, if I was to sit down on one of their political panels and started talking about six year terms for the President, or two term limits for Senators, they would all discount everything I had to say after that. I wouldn’t matter what I had to say, or how correct my point was, no one would pay it any mind because I was mistaken on a fundamental aspect of the subject at hand. So, why should I take anything they say about firearms with anything more than a grain of salt when they are constantly wrong about the fundamentals time after time.
