    Considering your "sources" for your conspiracy theories against the NRA are almost 100% screeds from liberal websites, I fail to understand why anyone here should trust you with a "critique" of anything.

    True enough. When that fails, flag the person's post and accuse them of flaming when you started it.

    Specific types of stories lead in the media. Black gun violence is not something the media likes touching a lot. Plus, they can't get any political mileage pushing an "angry white male Tea Party member" meme.

    It's called bias in the media...miss that part or just trying to shift blame....either way just like every other time the anti gun crowd gets cornered you change direction...It really is boring. I was discussing the equivalent of a mass shooting in a school to a mass shooting in a city and a biased news medias inability or lack of desire to make it national news...this isn't about robbery. Anything to misdirect eh.

    It "makes black folks look bad," so the media reactively downplay the high crime rates in the black community. They prefer to harp on the rare, from suburbia, like high schools or movie theaters being shot up. Even then, they're so agenda-driven not only do they twist their facts, but at least one Columbine survivor said he barely stepped out of the school that day and had a television reporter stick a microphone in his face on the sidewalk outside asking him about gun control. These clowns were encircling the school when it still had the bodies of the dead in it and were pushing the agenda.

    And frankly, foreigners with little knowledge of the US media have no business commenting on these matters, anyway.

    Nope it is called conspiracy theorising and ignorance of market driven suppliers like news media

    Love how an analogy is somehow changing direction

    What racist drivel? It shows how little you know about the US media. Black groups protest and the media responds in exactly how I described. Somehow this makes ME the racist while you keep flagging posts from me and others you don't like that hurt your feelings. Cute. Please, continue.

    I got the gist of your post....Just understand some need to deflect for lack of reason. The media is blatantly anti-gun and a 4 year old can figure that out. There is a bias and it shows with every news report I see on gun owners. I used to hear about news shows reporting a violent act with a knife or some other non-firearm and they had a picture of a gun in the background....I thought it was phooey until I actually saw an example. It was a story on the news about a man being stabbed and in the background behind the reporter was a picture of a semi-automatic pistol.

    According to the views of certain people on this forum, then, it would be "racist" of me to point out that 99% of burglars on American home security alarm commercials are white men.

    No ideological censorship going on. No PC fanaticism. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
