Oklahoma Newspaper Gets It Wrong

Media Bias Goes Extreme

The national and local media bias against the Second Amendment reached bizarre heights this week when a newspaper headline proclaimed “Shooter kills 4; 30 injured.”
The problem? Well, even a casual reader would note that the tragedy described in the article had nothing to do with a “shooter” but was about a individual who drove her car through a homecoming parade at Oklahoma State University. While the motives of the driver’s actions remain unclear, we find it simply incredible that a headline could be so abundantly off the mark.
The newspaper responsible for the amazing disconnect between reality and reporting – The Traverse City Record Eagle – cited “page designer error” as the cause. Page designer error? Really?
I wonder how that could have happened? It's so strange, as Ammoland says, it's hard to understand.
Could it be the daily, never-ending, slaughter of innocent people by gun violence?  Could it be that mass murder has become as American as apple pie?
Yeah, that's it and all the pretending bullshit from gun rights fanatics will not change it. It'll only get worse for them and their misguided cause.
