    I call Shenanigans!

    The only thing that is being put on the news lately are gun crimes. And we all know there is much more important stuff to talk about than another shooting. Its almost as if the government are planning these to try and have excuses to take away what ever freedom we have left!

      They can put what ever they want on the news, they will NOT take mine, and doubt they will get to take yours either...
      I second the shenanigens though.

        I remember a movie called Wag the dog. The news media in this country basically runs with whatever is in the headlines until the next big story comes along. They will beat a subject to death if nothing bigger happens. There is probably a good reason why " if it bleeds it leads" is the war cry of media today
        news today is no longer unbiased like it used to be. Everyone puts their own spin on things

          Funny how that works, huh? Let's just hope, at least 80% of the viewing public is smart enough to figure it out, and call the media on it. I am waiting for the revival of the "The Mexico Gun Violence Is Imported From The US" to stat up here again. Never want to let a good ,false, or fabricated crisis go to waste.

            How many places have you seen this?

              I offered this topic a few days after the incident. Its a normal anti-gun news agency trick after gun crimes. This is how they get people to think new laws need to be written.

                  Um...I think the propagandists deemed the phrase "gun crimes" redundant sometime back in the early 80's.
