Ya know, that thought crossed my mind but I immediately dismissed it. After all the MSM tells us they’re professionals and I’m sure they’d never make a mistake. LOL!!!!! It seems the press has this mental block when it comes to guns. They consistently get it wrong in such silly ways. That and they seems completely uninterested in ever getting it right.
My favorite is "perky Katie Couric", during the Washington, D.C. shootings some years ago, telling a SWAT officer that she understood that what made the shooter's gun so deadly was because it had "spirals in the barrel". The guy's face showed he had a major WTF moment, but just tactfully said "Yes.". Rumor has it he ruptured his sides afterward from laughing so much.
I’m kind of wondering if maybe, when the reporterette asked a hunter in the office, he decided to have some fun with her and gave her that line.
