Really interesting article. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08 ... hat-werent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah, I listen to NPR occasionally by mistake and have found that they're not as bad as they once were. Or maybe its the left that has gone soooooooooo far left that NPR has become more centrist. Before you guys go all half whacky and flip me shit, there some pretty good jazz stations down at that end of the dial. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

This is a good thing, right?
A news source that dug into something, and then reported it despite the truth being different than what we assume their preconceived bias might have led them to believe. I don't see a downside. |

Why don't our master leaders use this in the fight against 1639?

I would love to see some of these outlets get back to real journalism. Maybe NPR is headed that way.

Nothing bad per se It just shows how biased they've been in the past about gun facts. Last year they kept repeating the "70 something school shootings so far this year" that one of the antigun groups was claiming, even after several other news organisations pointed out how many of the 'shootings' had nothing to do with schools, or weren't even shootings at all. We've all seen how willfully ignorant they have been in the past. It's laughable how they are just 'catching on' now. _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

They float bullshit facts as if theyre true knowing its false and then ride it out until its proven false.... In the mean time the damage is done and being done. The know-nothing lib-voter has been infected and spreads the false information.......false information they hold dear because its supports their cause. A unwitting vessel for informing the rest of the lemmings who are drinking it up. _________________ "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed."......Carl Marx "Let us Cross the river and sit in the shade of the trees" .....Stonewall Jackson T.

Agreed, and to further the point, by the time the truth trickles out, they are on to their next manufactured scandal, and that's what gets the screen time, or, they deny the truth, like CNN today... |
