Notes from the Resistance
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Thursday defended an internal memo directing its reporters and editors to refrain from describing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as “terrorist attacks,” telling Fox News Digital the guidance reflected its longstanding practice of attributing terms it considers politically and emotionally loaded.

The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect, eh?
St. Louis man dies from injuries sustained in shooting 6 years ago… It’s unclear whether any suspects have been identified or charges have been filed in this case. [More]
It’s not a “real reporter’s” job to pick up the phone and ask…? That’s what it takes to be named one of the “Top 25 monthly authors for Nexstar stations”?

Before we get to the substance of Ms. Mascia’s in-depth reporting, you need to recall something she claimed about her employer, the Trace. [More]
And then you need to recall the Meadow Soprano of the Gun Ban movement is taking out her Daddy issues on us.
“We all went to journalism school.”
Right. “Authorized Journalists,” “Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists,” “real reporters,” the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media)…
But the BBC’s headline lays down their take on the problem in the dumbest way possible: “Thailand has a gun problem – 10 million of them” [More]
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, anti-gun Authorized Journalists, particularly British ones like the enuretic wanker who wrote the BBC propaganda piece, deserve to be raped, and often, and by someone who knows how.
That said, Thailand most certainly does have a “gun problem.”

Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords are pushing for “sensible” state gun regulations and more funding for violence prevention, days after a mass shooting left 10 injured, including the suspected gunman. [More]
Notice they don’t specify which gun “regulation” would work…?
And great “real reporting” there, Mia Kortright. Not only did you have no opposing view from people who know better, you didn’t even reference your own paper’s report admitting:
Paul Ingram/TucsonSentinel.com
The alleged gunman who wounded nine in Tucson last weekend was put on probation under a plea deal for a 2024 shooting incident because prosecutors “lost contact with the victim”…
So, the Giffords report is naked propaganda put together by an idiot who probably considers herself a “reporter.”
Authorized Journalists, Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists, the DSM, or just plain Lügenpresse… is it any wonder we love them so?
America’s Murder Problem Is Smaller Than It Looks [More]
Meaning there is no justification for blanket citizen disarmament.
Not that you’d know that if your source for information is the DSM…

A Woman Lost Two Partners to Guns—Then the N.R.A. Came to Collect [More]
So, is the woman-championing New Yorker suddenly questioning a woman’s right/competency to choose life partners? And are a man’s dying wishes not to be honored?
As far as overall numbers…
And let’s not forget the Only Ones prohibitionists say should have guns…
Great “real reporting” there, DSM flack Mike Spies…

Report: Rep. Chuck Edwards Gave Female Staffers Pink and Blue Handguns [More]
In the absence of evidence that this was part of a sexual harassment effort and/or was paid for by taxpayers, how is this not just a targeted political tactic?
It would help if we knew who his accusers were, but Axios won’t tell us and we’re just supposed to accept its spin.

Poindexter’s own manliness credentials are fully in order. [More]
Oh, so that explains the hoplophobe endorsement:
Somehow, trusting The Atlantic to define masculinity seems kinda shaky…

A Congressman’s Gun Store Is Linked to a Federal Trafficking Case. He’s Trying to Defund the ATF. [More]
Wait– so someone apparently straw purchased “more than 40 firearms from gun stores in the Athens area between September 2020 and July 2021 … at least 20 of those firearms have since been recovered by law enforcement, several in connection with violent crimes,” and “Among the firearms recovered was ONE [emphasis added] purchased at Clyde Armory, the Georgia gun store owned by Representative Andrew Clyde” and someone is trying to make the case that “rais[es] broader questions about conflicts of interest, regulatory oversight, and the intersection of private business and public office”…?
Really?
That raises broader questions with me about the motivations and political leanings of the author and his publisher:
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) board of directors voted to affirm the organization’s definition of a journalist to make clear that terrorists are also journalists worthy of protection. [More]
Has the Committee heard about Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement?

WAPO Quotes ‘Experts’ Who Say Trump’s Pro-2A Agenda May Lead to ‘Mass Casualty Events’ [More]
That’s what they’re praying for, anyway.
I remember that scene:

White House UFC terror plot ‘ringleader’ is a Mexican illegal immigrant, DHS confirms [More]
That makes this mudhead look like even more of a dolt, although not quite as much of one as the “Authorized Journalist” who wrote the caption:
What a “haul”!
Journalist Murdered in Mexico Received Threats from Law Enforcement [More]
Why should the peces gordos have all the fun?

The Verge, ostensibly a tech publication, just put out what I can only describe as an incitement to assassinate SpaceX founder Elon Musk. [More]
TC Sottek and his handlers seem oblivious to Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement…

Houston mother mourns another son lost to gun violence [Watch]
Calling it that is ne way of not addressing the real problem.
And while we’re at it, let’s call the hand-wringing “real reporters” what they really are.
