A really well done analysis of Couricgate and the ethical bankruptcy of "journalism".

“If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?”

Being the liberal she is, maybe a good question to ask her is
““If there are no background checks for refugees and illegal immigrants, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from getting their free stuff?”

Very well done.

The mask is off. Journalists lie to us to push their chosen agenda. Old ideas like ethics, professionalism or truth have been put in the dustbin of history.

Reporters relate the truth. They just tell it like it is. “Journalists” aim to change the world. And usually for the worse.

Phone rings in Dan Rather’s bunker office.

Hello.

Hi Dan, Katie here. Thanks for nothing.

Katie, hold on a minute - I told you not to allow interviewee recording devices during the interview.

It’s over Katie, you blew your one last chance.

Goodbye and don’t call back. [click]

Supply the airhead pseudo reporter with a list of mass killings in recent years all of which were registered democRATS. Therefore, democRATS should not be allowed to own firearms.

I remember “Laugh-In” would have a segment on editing an interview, playing both the before and after (after and before?) clips.

“I’m truly sorry to hear you were disappointed with the final product. We knew when we set out to make a film on such a divisive issue that we weren’t going to make everybody happy. However, we have heard from many gun owners following our screenings and the television premiere who felt we gave the issue a balanced look and reflected their views accurately.”

LIE.

Maybe not a lie. Quite a few liberals own guns thought only a scattered few, a dozen? belong to NRA.

You know the liberals don’t believe in their own causes when they have falsify events to shore up their agenda. Dan Rather is a prime example.
