When Carly Fiorina offered some imprecise words about videos that uncovered the harvesting of body parts, she was subjected to weeks of semantic, nitpicky fact-checking that allowed Democrats and the media to portray her accurate characterization of Planned Parenthoods practices as an outright lie.
Now, it would be a waste of time to expect comparable scrutiny aimed at Democrats who make unequivocally false statements about gunsa topic that elicits similarly emotional responses. But, for credibilitys sake, itd be nice if once in a while someone would call out the president, or leading Democratic Party candidates, or the countless others who lie about firearms.
President Obama, who not long ago made the ludicrous claim that in certain neighborhoods it was easier for you to buy a handgun and clips than it is for you to buy a fresh vegetable, now says, Its not just mass shootings. It is the daily shootings that take place in cities across America. It is easier to buy a gun than buy a book.
Does anyone in the media believe its easier to purchase a Glock than it is a carrot or a book? Probably. I mean, why isnt there a slew of concerned CNN panels parsing this fantastical statementor the many others Obama makes about guns?

“Easy answer. Because the media is complicit and ignorant about guns.”
Bingo. Nailed it. But it is also because the old dominant leftist media wants to help the Democrats ban guns.
The choir members are Democrats.
Democrats may be shrewd, but they are dumb as posts.
So the people who know better aren't listening (until they propose legislation, anyway), and the rest are too ignorant to see the lie.
...and the beat goes on...
Because the Leftist media enables them by refusing to print the truth.
Next silly question.
Great technique!
