Facts are overrated when you have passion, a microphone and a camera. Throw in an internet channel, viola, youre in it to win it, friends. Which is precisely the problem going on at Vox, who released this video claiming LOTZ OF GUNZ SHOOTINGS OMG. Problem is there are too many problems with their entire premise, argument and conclusion. Why? Because Vox has an agenda to push, and as Ill prove, they will willingly and proactively manipulate data to do it.

Saw it on FB, thanks Steven!
Crowder is awesome.
I am not. But I try.
I fail. But thank you.
I don’t do faceplant, but I like your stuff. Thanks for putting it here.
Vox is a project of Markos Moulitsas (creator of Daily Kos) and his mentor, Jerome Armstrong. Everything they publish has a far left agenda.
So?
It’s effective, and that’s why it needs rebutting.
Agreed. Just spreading the word, as I didn’t know who was behind them. Unfortunately, they seem to be growing.
Nicely done!
MOLON LAVE!
Unfortunately, you’re right. :(
I’m pretty good about catching Steven’s posts but yea - please add me to your ping list!
Thanks RandallFlagg!
You’re on.
