Any chance you could write a letter to the editor pointing out these deliberate lies in this hit-piece? He probably could write it, but I doubt very much that it would ever be seen in the paper. When I lived in FL I sometimes wrote letters to it's sister NYT paper, the Sarasota Herald Tribune, about it's anti-gun lies and half-truths, and as best I remember nothing I ever wrote concerning gun issues was ever printed or acknowledged. The management of those papers have a tightly closed mind on the subject of guns and 2nd amendment rights, and they aren't about to let any grain of truth concerning guns be seen in their bird cage liners.
The Sarasota paper wouldn't even accept my classified ad for an SKS because it was a "weapon of war". I submitted the ad copy again describing it as a Simonov model 56 rifle and they ran it without any questions. Morons.
I hear ya, but it's better to try and fail than not try at all. I know, it sucks, but our situation facing the leftmedia can be summed up by paraphrasing a quote from Mark Twain: "We are engaged in an argument with people who buy ink by the barrelfull".
I manage to get a letter printed in the SHT about one every two months, 4 out of 5 of which is on the subject of firearms. I have thus managed to establish a rapport of sorts with the letters editor, a lady named Wendy Dial. I recently called them on their NYT-inspired bias regarding RKBA, pointing out to them that year-to-date, they printed a total of seven firearms-related columns/cartoons, ALL of which were AGAINST. Lo and behold, in less than a month after that, we see not just one but TWO PRO-GUN columns. Just like little kids in the kitchen, when they realize they're being watched, they start behaving, at least a little bit.
Other news regarding the SHT -- their main editor, a lady named Rosemary Armao, was forced to resign about a month ago for making some very unprofessional comments in an email to a reader about Katherine Harris -- a blatant display of vitrol that forced the management of the SHT to fire her to save face if she wouldn't quit first. All I had to say to Rosemary is, "Don't let the door hit you in your hemp-fabric-draped arse on the way out!".
