Freeze the enemy. Insult them. Make counter accusations.

I'm just following the liberal play book. Let's have a discussion about gun control. I'm done being nice with these fucks.

Bullshit. I went to CNN.com minutes after your post and on the left side under the main image was an entire section titled "Navy Yard Rampage". Stories, video, etc...

Yeah, funny how everyone else sees it front and center but somehow only he doesn't see it.

Maybe it's targeted, like how once you shop for popcorn makers on Amazon that's all they show you on the front page?

Navy Yard: Swat team 'stood down' at mass shooting scene

One of the first teams of heavily armed police to respond to Monday's shooting in Washington DC was ordered to stand down by superiors, the BBC can reveal.
A tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers.
The Capitol Police department has launched a review into the matter.

What's up with that?

Simple. The police are not obligated to protect you. Maybe the supervisor was concerned about the inconsistent information.

Best (worst?) one I have seen on this is he used a "AR15 Shotgun."

Might have been CNN...man they are bad.

Pretty sure there are Ar15 uppers for .410 shotgun shells

The media cant be bothered to check facts during a fluid event. And apparently they cant be trusted to not make shit up either.

Honestly if he had used an AR-15 style semi-auto shotgun I could give them some slack. He used a Remington 870. Not even close.

But but but AR15 isn't a buzzword used to increase viewership!

You keep saying that as if you have some evidence proving that those words increased viewership.

 

[irishScott]

If they didn't increase viewership, why would the media use them? None of us on this forum have any evidence that the Ambien commercial I just saw increases the sales of Ambien, either; but I'm pretty sure Ambien wouldn't be paying for it if it didn't.

It's being reported that the remington 870 is a police force shotgun.

Is that true? No, but that's what we're reporting.

Ever heard of the game "grapevine"? How many people do you think the information goes through from the law enforcement sources to the TV reporter? I'm sure it's much more likely it's a media conspiracy and not just some info getting scrambled during a breaking event.

 

[TerryMathews]

And you have no evidence it does not. Conjecture cuts both ways.

Technically I'm pretty sure that is the most commonly issued shotty to police, it's reliable as hell and gets the job done...I love mine:wub:

 

[dank69]

No, but when you lay out the "logic" trail required to reach your conclusion like I did many, many posts ago, you are the one who looks like an idiot.

Don't be silly of course they are. That's why when something happens we're told to just wait for the police. They'll handle the situation appropriately. That's why only law enforcement should have guns.

No conspiracy, just the media out to make money (remember every major network is a business, not a public service or utility) and promote their respective agendas. Yellow (or yellow-ish) Journalism is hardly a new or unproven phenomenon.

 

[zanejohnson]

lol, let me guess. There isn't REALLY two parties? Wow. Amazing revelation. Explain please.

there are two choices, the parties are the same.. they debate the same issues, neither has brought forth a new issue in basically......forever.

also, talk to anyone over 60, and they'll tell you that the two parties have changed opposite stances on these same issues, MULTIPLE times..

do you not see the flaw still???

the current democratic party... was the slave owning party back in the day in the south.....southern democrats... now look at the party... that would be right in line with current neocons..wouldnt it? aren't democrats supposed to be liberal now?? isn't that the image portrayed by the media?

and republicans conservative????

everything is flip flopping as we read this....... in 20 years if this system is still around, i promise it will have flipped again...

it's a brilliant system... brilliant at keeping the peons fighting over stuff that really doesnt even matter or affect them in any way..

I know you are late to the party, so I'll repost what you would have to believe in order to reach your conclusion:

...

It's like you believe that most people are sitting on their couch watching the reports about the mass shooting and the moment a reporter utters the words "we have been told the shooter is using an AR-15," the majority of the country gasps in unison. Meanwhile, if the reporter instead says "we have been told the shooter is using a shotgun," everyone can be heard letting out a collective "awwwww" while they change the channel.
