We Can Always Trust The Press

to screw up anything about firearms.   In an article about the Alabama shooting:

 

Accurate reporting:

"Two of the handguns were recovered from the victims. He said a 9mm was placed on Corbin Dahmontrey Holston's body in an odd way but didn't elaborate. He said they also found a 45 mm in Marsiah Collins' belt that had not been fired. The other two handguns recovered were a 22 mm and a 40-caliber. "

I believe the “news media” as much as I believe the wife when she says she dressed and ready to go.

It isn't just in your country either.

I'm uncertain just where the carelessness, inaccuracy, laziness and downright untruthfulness started, but we certainly have it up here as well.

Some "reporters" claim it is the time constraints they are under to publish in a timely manner. 

Really? An erroneous, unverified fairy tale is something to be spread rather than the true facts?

When I got to the line about the "shell casings", I knew that whoever was writing this had no clue, and therefore did not expect much about the rest of it.

Years ago when I lived in Huntington Beach, CA there was a public access channel on cable for the Goldenwest Community College. I would tune in on Saturday mornings to sit in on a Journalism class. Fantastic education for me so I could understand what the thinking is in academia (mental anemia) regarding the reporting of the news. It was literally brainwashing “to support your political position through your contribution to the news.” Near exact words of one professor. He said “You don’t have to be accurate but be accurate enough to tell the story yet convey the message you are trying to bring across.”

My favorite one was the use of names and descriptions to bring support or opposition to a person or group of people, like; calling people ‘freedom fighters’ not terrorists if you agree or support their message. 
I could go on for an hour about that class. Quite enlightening on how the Commies, I mean, journalists operate. 
Any guy teaching a class wearing a Che Guevara tee shirt ought to be shot, shunned or exiled, not revered and allowed to teach in college.

I had a Constitutional Law prof who favored Che t-shirts and politics. I was one of several working class students in that class, all of whom had full time day jobs and attended law school at night.  Amazing how quickly and completely your attitude is adjusted when you need to work to feed your family while you are going to school.  I do not believe that the prof ever had a real job beyond academia; it was frustrating to listen to his socialist take on constitutional rights.  We were living in totally different universes.
