Hit piece on Barrett by News 5 Nashville

[1gewehr]

Another gun control piece by Nashville news. Talking points straight from radical Violence Policy Center on the dangerous Barrett .50 rifle!! A couple of short quotes from John Harris as 'balance'. But 90% of the segment is anti-gun propaganda.

It was mostly spin and propaganda. Phil seems to make his mind up on what he wants to portray and then builds enough of a record to avoid a libel action.

About the only good thing re that propaganda piece is that the old media is fast dying..being eclipsed by the new digital media: internet STREAMING and social media. I am glad bks so far the new media is unfettered and refreshing. IMHO TV as we know it will die within 5-7 years.
The paper press has already seen the light at the end of the tunnel and it IS a train. Liberal rags like "Pravda-on-the-Cumberland" will die soon and nobody will care. Can u believe it?? NYT..nearly dead, WaPo..dead, Boston Globe..dead, Newsweak...dead..all bastions of leftist propaganda. Aaaaaahhhhhh!

One thing that is killing the old, authoritarian leftist media, is that, with the Tennessean, they have gradually closed down any responses to their opinion or articles. I was a subscriber to the Tennessean for many years and they had open comment sections to their columnists and articles. This has been gradually closed down. Also e-mail addresses of their editorial columnists have been removed except for twitter, so that commentary has also been shut down!
