"I hadn't known the true story of this shooting at all..."

And that's the way the media want to keep it. - The truth is always harmful, when your cause is a lie.

Guns save lives, often without even having to use them.

Thanks for the ping, e-s. I had seen this in the Post and then got it by e-mail too. Isn't it wonderful?

I had the original edition of Lott's book, and his chapter about how ( badly ) his research was received by those on the other side was very illuminating. Many would not even read read it.

I'm sure you'll appreciate this quote, which I have (including the parenthetical commentary), courtesy of Jimmy Kilpatrick, the proprietor of a great site, Education News

John Swinton (considered 'the dean of his profession' by his peers), Chief of Staff, New York Times when asked to give a toast at the New York Press Club in 1953. (note-how true, today),

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it.There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for anothr job. If allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press. We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."(note-Yes)

P.S. Any difference between the media and the universities?
