ABC News' Hidden Bias Against Guns



On ABC News radio this morning was a short blurb about the gun control fight.  It is indicative of the easy-to-miss hidden bias that the media has about guns.

ABC said (paraphrased): “The majority of pro-gun advertising is from NRA and other pro-gun groups.  Now the gun control groups are beginning a $12 Million campaign.”   

That’s it!  A one-liner.  How is it biased?  Because there is NO mention that the NRA is funded by 5 million members in small donations.  And NO mention that the $12 M is all from Bloomberg.  Hardy a fair news headline.  Hardly a fair comparison of the political reality.  One man vs. many, many citizens.

Note that last week Bloomberg was successful in Colorado when Gov. Hickenlooper signed three anti-gun bills.  Bloomberg was in that fight by arm-twisting democrat legislators into voting for controls.  He promised them money for their next campaign.  He promised them that he would protect them from backlash that their anti-gun votes would create.  That is his strategy nation-wide.  I would not be surprised to learn that George Soros is in involved in this play also.
