i am starting to see a lot of posts around from people that listen to NPR or watch Letterman etc .That are fine with this programing until they see something they do not like about GUNS. DAAAAAA
if you listen to NPR and think it is fair you have a problem.

[P.Charm]

I don't listen to NPR.

You're looking at it the wrong way. Think of it more along the lines of "gathering intel."

We know for a fact LCAV and other anti's look at this forum. Does that make them pro-gun? No.

When the only available news sources are various propaganda machines, it's best to watch more than one. If you only watch FOX, you're just as ignorant as someone who only watches NPR or MSNBC.

I'm convinced that most of the media, especailly Fox News and MSNBC, is not news and nothing more than political rhetoric. Injure your brain at your own risk with those guys. They're part of the main problem.

I listen to multiple media outlets. Mostly in the car or online. I don't watch much news.

I agree that the statement of getting your news from one source only is a bad idea. Regardless of the source.

I can't stomach those programs, but I do have a subscription to current TV's emails. It's partially to gather intel, but mostly because their "reports" are such hyperbole that they are genuinely entertaining-in a "horrific accident involving 3 'short' busses" sort of way.

+1. The only news source that I avoid is MSNBC.

I'm gonna chime in with something here: someone's beliefs about the second amendment do not necessarily reflect their broader political views.

For example, it is possible for someone to believe in gay marriage and public healthcare while at the same time believing in the second amendment. As gun owners we can all agree that the democratic process is the rule of the land; however we also agree that the 2nd amendment ultimately safeguards that process from being usurped.

When guns are banned/confiscated it is a direct attack on freedom regardless of ones opinion on a specific issue. I do NOT trust a government that monopolizes the legal possession of weapons.

Nail on head. But this can be difficult for many on both the left and the right to comprehend.

The "democratic process" is not the rule of the land. We live in a constitutional republic. Democracy is 51% of the people deciding to trample the freedoms of the other 49%, and voting to do so. A constitutional republic is 51% of the people voting to trample the rights of the 49%, but being prevented by a law saying they can't.

Mainstream news media is nothing more than 'reality TV' (not unlike Jersey Shore)... the only problem is that there are quite a number of people out there that take it seriously, rather than what it really is: mindless entertainment.
