Responding to an argument without fully understanding the point that is being made only serves to make the responder look foolish. Or as Proverbs puts it, “It’s stupid and embarrassing to give an answer before you listen.” Such was the case recently when the Leftmedia outlet Vice News published an article blasting the National Rifle Association for a video by Colion Noir. The article’s headline read, “NRA wants Congress to set ‘limitations’ on how the news can cover school shootings.” Gee, so Noir, a popular leader in the effort to defend Americans’ Second Amendment rights, was exposed for calling on the government to limit Americans’ First Amendment rights? That’s what Vice News would have you believe, in spite of the fact that Noir was making exactly the opposite point.
Article author Tess Owen writes, “The National Rifle Association is calling for outright censorship as news of yet another school shooting dominates national headlines.” She then quotes Noir in the NRA video, who says, “It’s time to put an end to this glorification of carnage in pursuit of ratings, because it’s killing our kids.” Owen then notes that the video was posted online less than a week after 10 people were killed in the Santa Fe High School attack in Texas.

They do a lot of projection.
They are worse than CNN, for the most part.
CNN is not allowed to put some of the more inflammatory crap on...however, Vice looks especially for the inflammatory crap...and alters the context and presentation to make it even more inflammatory.
Useless turds...one and all.
But how appropriate to have a leftist news network named Vice!
Although I would miss Free Republic as we read and/or respond to various articles created within the media, perhaps we should completely ban a free media, most of what we hear is fake news anyway.
Vice Media, the same idiots who said Parents should let their boys wear girl’s clothing? Yes, we should take advice from a bunch of liberals morons (who makes Democrats look sane).
Projecting onto their opponents, what they themselves are guilty of, is a standard operating procedure for the liberal Left.
