Yes, but it is so hard to tell the difference these days...zephyp wrote:The basic point is that a Blog IS NOT NEWS and most of them are NOT FACTUAL...merely someones ramblings and musings much like many of our posts here. No comparison can be made between a real news site and a Blog post. None whatsoever. One is supposed to be the news and the other someones ramblings...gunderwood wrote:The 1st has limits just like the 2nd Amendment...my right to own firearms ends when I decide to use them to unjustly harm you. There are legal limitations on the first as well such as libel, defamation of character, slander, etc. The fact that Breitbart "owns" the blog is irrelevant; it was a public sphere.
Clearly Breitbart edited the tape, but every news story anywhere is edited. In general, most news is more like propaganda in that we only get the parts that the "reporters" want us to know about. E.g. the brutal rape and beating of that CBS reporter. They sat on it for days (so as not to contradict Obama's official storyline that these are peaceful "democratic" protesters) and when it finally was reported they left out critical details such as the crowd chanting "Jew, Jew, Jew" while committing this awful act. When the details finally come out the "media" decides to attack those who reported it and make up excuses for her Muslim attackers. Breitbart wanted to stir the pot, but CBS wanted to mislead a whole nation into supporting a riot which is looking ever more likely to turn out like Iran.
When ever they media reports on guns we find it comical because they either are completely lacking in research and understanding or they are lying through their teeth because the truth doesn't fit their agenda. You really think that stops when they report on other things?
News reporting is dead.

@Garrett - indeed it is but a Blog is still a Blog and should be taken with half a grain of salt...if anything at all.
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
