Subtle Ways MSM Shows It’s Bias
This evening CNN’s top story has a report showing that roughly half of gun death’s comes from suicide. The headline blatantly states the Supreme Court ruling implying obviously that this ruling will affect suicide rates. I probably would not thought much of it but Personal Responsibility points out that MSNBC is running with this story as well. Technically speaking this story does not constitute news. This is just a reporter stitching together a bunch of facts to make a point. And it’s virtually impossible to not take away what the reporter is trying to say. Thanks to the Supreme Court affirming our constitutional right to bear arms more people will kill themselves.
This is not good journalism. This is opinion masquerading around as journalism. Just about the only good thing that comes out of theses opinion pieces is that they betray the news organization’s political bias. In this case, it’s obvious that CNN leans left on gun control. They selected an opinion piece as news that casts gun rights in a bad light. They could of just easily selected an opinion piece that casts gun rights in a positive light by stitching together facts and anecdotes of people using firearms to protect themselves.
How many times have I heard someone that leans left bemoan the bias of Fox news. Often times it because Fox news features one of these fake new reports. Of course the difference between the news organizations is that Fox makes up news for the right and CNN and the rest of them make up news for the left. When Fox does it’s not true but when CNN does its the ‘truth’.
