    Blatant media dis-information: "Gun range let's you shoot people"

    Folks,

    For the record, I sit on the middle of the fence (a sore place to be).

    I see lot's of 'liberal' democrats talk about how biased Fox News is.

    Check out this absolutely blatant misrepresentation of firearms:

    From the front page of CNN.com:



    After actually visiting Combat City's website http://www.combatcityusa.com/

    "Combat City again apologizes for the earlier inaccurate story that was posted on Yahoo. We contacted the author who posted over the initial article but it appears the damage has been done.

    To clarify again, safety is paramount at combat city. We do not allow children to engage in firearm force on force training or activities. The video above is airsoft. Exactly like paintball the children do participate in that activity in an all ages status. We have a terrific safety record with hundreds of players a weekend.
    Simunition is not in the building during weekend recreational airsoft games. Airsoft players are in no contact or danger of the modified firearms at anytime.
    Combat city had no knowledge of yahoo running any articles and was not contacted prior to any posts by this author or any other. The author combined a feature from FOX 35 earlier this year about airsoft with a LOCAL6 report on simunition previously recorded for a Dec broadcast. The article is completely inaccurate and measures are being taken to correct the problem.
    please visit www.combatshootingsports.com for a description of Simunition and UTM."

    Yet it remains in the front page slides, right on http://www.cnn.com

    I saw the "Teaser" for this on TV last night, honesty I was falling asleep, I don`t remember the channel. I don`t really care what anyone believes politically, including, but not limited to party preference etc...

    One more time it looked to be MEDIA HYPE about Firearms..."The Range with REAL Human Targets" is what they actually said, It`s getting old.

    What a Story huh??? B.S.
    Yes I took the pic, no I didn't go swimming!

      I really think combat city could file a suit for direct intentional mis representation of their business. It's easy to see how this could adversely impact their business and cause a loss. Almost a firm of business slander.
      Either way the original editor is nothing more than a lying liberal piece of s***.

        Well in defense of Fox all the other so called "News" channels are biased towards the Liebral point of view so that's 15 channels for Liberals and 1 for Conservtives...I mean come on now CNN has the disgraced Green Jobs zar van Jones as a contributer and he called Romneny a "Douche" twice on live tv. Did he get fired? Of course not. We had the Obama Co-Chair of his election committe Post a tweet calling Romney a "TWOT" Where was the outrage there? We hear alot of talk from Liberals about "Civility" in politics but it seems to me they are the ones lacking it. At least we have one channel of "News" that isn't slobbering all over the knob of a President who only got elected because 93% of Blacks voted for him simply because of the color if his skin. Then add in the pandering his Administration does towards the Illegal hispanic voters calling for a blanket amensty for 11 Million + border runners. Let's also look at the MSM calling proof of citizenship to vote racist when surprisingly in areas where they're trying to limit Republican or Conservative voting they allow such things. Not sure about you but when I vote here in Sacramento I have to show ID wierd isn't it... makes me want to puke. That's not even getting into the fire arms or constitutional rights they're trampling on.

          Zakaria of CNN wrote an article with some pictures...

          "Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but not to his or her own facts. Saying that this is all a matter of psychology is a recipe for doing nothing. We cannot change the tortured psychology of madmen like James Holmes. What we can do is change our gun laws.

          They need to have disclaimers at the end of every news story.
