The mainstream media have been hoodwinked by the NRA and FOX NEWS
who have sidetracked the reason behind the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting
into a discussion over mental illness, arming teachers, video games, violent
movies and television shows instead of the real culprit which is plain and
simple: GUNS.
Like a well-oiled political campaign, the NRA and FOX NEWS have
shifted the discussion to people who suffer from mental illness and whether
school teachers should be allowed to carry guns into school.
FOX NEWS has been quick to point out how video games and violent
movies and television shows are the real reason why Adam Lanza grabbed a
Bushmaster assault rifle, two Glok pistols and hundreds of rounds of ammunition
and busted into the Sandy Hook Elementary school and carried out his
massacre.
Media reports indicate Lanza fired anywhere from three to eleven
bullets into the small bodies of the 20 school children ages six and seven. He
reloaded the Bushmaster assault rifle three times with 30 round clips before
taking one of the handguns and putting it to his own head and committing
suicide.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media are like lemmings and they
follow the lead of the NRA and FOX NEWS into the sea and drown in a pool of
confusion, which is exactly what the NRA and FOX NEWS wants to happen.
Everytime there is a mass shooting, the NRA and FOX NEWS trot out
the same routine and shift the attention away from any kind of gun control to
topics like mental illness, arming teachers, video games, movies and
television or the need for more conceal and carry permits.
The air waves are filled with psychiatric experts and school
administrators and each of them provide some cockamamie reason why Adam Lanza
went on a shooting spree in Connecticut killing 20 young children, six adults
and his mother.
The NRA and FOX NEWS are pros at distracting people away from the
real culprit in any mass shooting and that is guns.
Just yesterday, Rupert Murdoch, who owns FOX NEWS, the Wall Street
Journal, the New York Post and scores of other media outlets, issued an edict to
anyone who works for any media outlet in his empire to not bring up the subject
of gun control.
President Obama has vowed to take action, but as each day passes
since the horrific massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school, the NRA and
FOX become more firmly entrenched by hoodwinking the media and public into
thinking Adam Lanza carried out his murder spree because of mental illness,
video games, movies or television.
When is the mainstream media going to wake up and realize the real
problem is the proliferation of guns in America and not any of side show
issues the NRA and FOX NEWS are "selling" to an unsuspecting
public?
