Outrageous Bias !

Post by Westfield »

Just saw WOAI TV San Antonio coverage of the story where a 6 year old boy brought a gun into a Houston school, it dropped and it went off. While the anchor, Randy Beamer, read the story, they showed a picture of a concealed carry license ! What does that have to do with the story ? Nothing except it is not the first time WOAI has distorted shooting facts and put a concealed carry license picture in shooting story that has nothing to do with concealed carry or law abiding citizens ! I worked in broadcast journalism 20 years ago and I can tell you from experience the media bias is unbelievable ! :banghead:

There are still journalists in America? Where do they keep them? --I'd like to see what one looks like.

Maybe the six year old is a CHL holder and they were just showing his licence.

The local Houston newscast referred to the kid who dropped the weapon as "the shooter" :banghead:

Bad news, sensationalism and controversy have always sold newspapers. Now it also sells TV time...it ain't nothin' new.

I heard him refered to as the "gunman." As if he went raging into the school with the intent on racking up a bodycount.

I was then rather thrown off when I heard KHOU news say that there had been 162 firearms confiscated at HISD schools within the past 10 years.
