The mainstream media’s contempt for gun owners was on blatant display in an incredibly one-side interview with journalist Katie Couric.
Speaking to Matt Lauer on Today, Couric hawked her new anti-gun documentary Under The Gun, which supposedly looks at the issue of gun ownership from both sides but by the sound of it repeats the same old canards that liberals invoke against firearms owners.
Abandoning any pretense of objectivity, Lauer gushed over Couric and her film throughout the interview, sanctimoniously declaring that he was sure “something” would be done after the Sandy Hook killings and was shocked when no action was taken against guns.
Couric, for her part, indulged Lauer’s sanctimony, weaving a conspiracy theory about the NRA brainwashing it’s members and controlling Congress to prevent anti-gun measures from passing.
But the biggest “WTF” moment of the interview came when Lauer asked Couric about how the documentary handled accounts of people using firearms to defend themselves
See Couric’s absurd answer on the next page:
Melvin, the one question that liberals are unable to answer is how they propose to stop criminals from acquiring guns! They are always advocating for more legislation that make it more difficult for a law abiding citizen to have guns and when they get these laws passed and of course have no affect on the crime rate, they start pushing for a new law! What they truly want is ultimate control of us, because criminals of course will disobey any gun laws because they are CRIMINALS! Look at Mexico with its stringent gun laws! There is ONE gun shop in the entire country and it’s located in Mexico City! If you go there to buy a gun, you have a choice of either a .38 caliber revolver or a .22 caliber rifle! The laws make it difficult for an ordinary person to get these guns, but it doesn’t hinder the criminals at all, particularly drug cartel members! In our own country, we can’t stop people from using and selling drugs and if they can’t do that, what makes them think they will be more successful preventing thugs from getting guns? The answer is they can’t, but it doesn’t stop them from going after law abiding gun owners who will never commit any crime!
She’s an idiot!
Oh shut up and quit making up stories to fit your political agenda! That’s what all of the news reporters do anymore. Either make up stories to fit your agenda, or change stories to fit it. You don’t report the news as it happens, you report what your owners want you too. You take things out of context or you out and out lie!
If somebody on staff at Sandy Hook had been armed, he or she could ahve been the
good guy that stopped the bad guy.
