Exactly the Model

Yes: Tobacco. The tobacco industry is exactly the model that I think of in terms of the decades of work that it will take to address this issue.” [More]

You know, “dirty, deadly, and banned.”

But no one is talking about taking your guns.

As an aside, “journalist” Rita Braver, with her practiced “empathy,” is obviously performing for the camera. I wonder how many viewers realized that was to manipulate their emotions while they were being presented with only one side and the wrong side at that.

What can I say but “CBS“?

Tempest in a Teapot

The agency did confirm agents “visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the investigation.” [More]

No, it did not. That assertion was made by Ben Schrekinger of Politico, whose email was part of the package of “responsive documents” returned to Judicial Watch by the Secret Service. Their FOIA essentially came up empty.

And “‘Maybe we were asked for a favor?” is not a Daily Mail “Exclusive.” From the embed in my January 17 writeup:

I guess my question is, why is Judicial Watch just now getting around to releasing it?

Unfortunately, unless someone comes up with hard evidence that the Secret Service lied in their affidavit to me, these reports are much ado about nothing. Not that I expect the media to take notice of that or anything else I put out there that’s ahead of them…

As Long as We’re Being Particular

The report comes as the nation grapples with a rise in violent crime, particularly from guns Democrat jurisdictions. [More]

I fixed it for them.

Attributing increases to the recent rise in gun sales is a repackaging of the trick they tried to do to blame things on the pandemic. As I noted a few months back:

In order for pandemic-related sales to significantly move statistics, the transference from the “legal” to the “illegal” market would need to be almost instantaneous, when in fact, ATF time-to-crime (“the amount of time between the retail sale of a firearm by a federal firearms licensee (FFL) and its recovery by law enforcement”) statistics show a national average period for 2021 of 6.21 years.

Not that we should expect either the Bureau or the Associated Press to factor that into their public consumption “conclusions.”

So Much for the Canons of Journalism

Major News Outlets Say They’re Ditching Objectivity In The Name Of ‘Diversity’ [More]

“Authorized journalists.”

“Fourth estate fifth columnists.”

“Real reporters.”

Dare one say “Lügenpresse“?

Any way you look at it. they’re the DSM and they’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Call Roto-Reuters, That’s the Name

The U.S. Department of Justice said it has obtained a court order blocking two firearms companies from imperiling public safety by illegally selling devices to convert AR-15 style rifles into machine guns. [More]

Gee, no interjecting editorial sentiment there. It makes me appreciate even more the link at the bottom of the piece about “Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.”

I’ve been a long-time fan of those!

Meanwhile, Over in Al Capone’s Vault…

A “real reporter.”

Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]

Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.

Figures this moron would be spreading it.

I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.

How he got it in the studio is another question.

And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.

The Black Hole

The Society of Professional Journalists launched the Black Hole Award to highlight the most heinous violations of the public’s right to know. By exposing such abuses, SPJ’s Freedom of Information Committee seeks to educate the public about their rights and call attention to those who would interfere with openness and transparency. SPJ is accepting nominations through Feb. 19. Please email nominations to SPJ Region 10 Coordinator Donald W. Meyers. The “winner” will be announced during Sunshine Week, March 12-18. [More]

Feel free to tell ’em. I can’t very well do it.

Lies of Commission

By now you may have heard or seen stories in the media claiming that the firm “representing” Oregon Firearms Federation in our Federal lawsuit is owed thousands of dollars in legal fees. This allegation is false. Maxine Bernstein (mbernstein@oregonian.com; 503-221-8212) a “reporter” for the failing “Oregonian” who made these allegations (which were parroted by others in the cartel media), knows it’s false. [More]

Jeez, if we can’t believe a “real reporter,” who can we believe?

I don’t see this up on the OFF Alerts page yet, so I went ahead and posted it to my WoG Placeholder blog.

Doing the Executions Americans Won’t Do

6 family members, including baby, shot dead at home in targeted ‘massacre’: Sheriff [More]

Notice they don’t identify the victims even though everything about this screams victim and perp cartel affiliations? And when the accompanying video is over, the next one begins with a somber “America: armed and dangerous”?

I Got Them Lügenpresse Blues

Liberal media are trying to protect the feds from the much-needed House weaponization committee [More]

Hence my continued use of “DSM.”

Duranty/Streicher Media.

Funny, how real national socialists want to smear anyone calling them what they are as Nazis to scare them out of using it.

Crack ‘Authorized Journalists’ Figure Out Why They Call Them ‘Bad Neighborhoods’!

CBS Philadelphia found many shootings are concentrated in just several neighborhoods, leaving behind a horrible toll of trauma for those living in those areas. [More]

Been looking at Neighborhood Scout again, have we?

So when the grabbers talk about owning a gun being more dangerous than not owning one, first of all, they’re talking about people who don’t actually own them, and second, if you’re not a scumbag criminal loser, their “statistics” don’t apply to you…? Including women…?

Making manipulative crap like this a carefully crafted lie?

Another Slogan for Orwell in the Making

LA Times: White supremacy is a rainbow coalition [More]

So they’re to be condemned for their diversity, equity, and inclusion?

Brian Griffin has a question for them.

And remember: If you didn’t vote for Joe Biden, you ain’t black!

I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

Stony Brook prof Anna Hayward blames stabbed cops for ‘murder’ of their attacker [More]

Scroll down to see that smug grin and take comfort in one thing: She can’t possibly really be a happy person.

They say this contact link is for “media inquiries only.” I always have had a thing about “Authorized Journalists,” and in keeping with “progressive” tenets, I’d say it’s all up to how a person identifies…

Hatchet Job

The Supreme Court May Kick Off 2023 With a Huge Gun Rights Ruling – Without oral argument or full briefing, the case could take a hatchet to New York’s new concealed carry law—and countless more nationwide. [More]

So why does Mark Joseph Stern have his panties in a wad?

Oh…
