ah yes, good old "we will never print a pro fiream story" Newsweek 
(or was it Time, I forget), the media has done a wonderfull job of 
distorting the facts on firearms (all that gore sells a lot of 
magazines) but they refuse to print stories of firearms saving 
someones life, thats what I call unbaised, even independant media 
watch groups have come out and stated that on the issue of 
firearms, the larges medias (major "news" magazines and TV) have 
an abysmal record of being biased.

I read one in Time just last week, an issue a few weeks old, it was 
quite obvious that the writter set out to write an anti gun piece, in 
fact he all but came out and said so.

TV and radio stations and networks refuse to run ad's for fiream 
groups of any kind, but they will run PSA that are patently wrong 
with the numbers they use (NBC and there 10.2 million childern a 
year killed by firearms PSA)

try going to the NRA web site for example, ( www.nra.org ) or the 
Second Ammendment Foundation ( www.saf.org ), every month 
they have a short collum of people who's save there won or others 
lives with a firearm, but we never hear about this in the main stream 
media.

get some real information people. not media lies.
