Gun rights advocates shout at Newtown victim's dad

[SonicBlue]

Talk about taking things out of context!..............I was so outraged at CBS News that I issued a complaint pointing out how they intentionally spun this on TV this morning. The segment teaser said, "Pro-gun activists interrupt father of slain Sandy Hook victim during his testimony". Then when you see the video everyone is respectfully silent when he challenges the audience as to why anyone needs and AR-15. Still everyone is respectfully silent until he looked back at the audience and sad "I didn't think so". At that point some answered him. WTH??

Edit: Finally found the video, make up your own mind (fast forward to 13:30): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvT9peqTM5E Then compare to the edited videos of the lefty sites. It's sad, truly.

A Blogger in Seattle made the same observation: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/01/29/1183022/-Newtown-hecklers-taken-out-of-context-Seriously

The CBS news article has a similar biased spin: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57566406/gun-rights-advocates-shout-at-newtown-victims-dad/

"A handful of people at the packed legislative hearing then shouted about their Second Amendment rights when Heslin asked if anyone could provide a reason for a civilian to own an assault-style weapon."

No!! It was only AFTER he said "I didn't think so!!"

The comments section proves it accomplished the desired horror to incite the anti-gun mob.

Huffington Post claimed he was "heckled" other outlets conveniently edited the video to leave the desired impression: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...kle-father-of-child-killed-at-Sandy-Hook.html

PLUS, they didn't balance the segment with the Mattiolli testimony where he claimed more gun laws were not the answer.

I know CBS news is leftist but this was ridiculously sensationalized and biased. I told them they were professional journalist in name only.

I tell you this is a hard battle when it feels like the majority of the media trolls are willing to lie and demonize responsible gun owners. It's hard to have a voice without being unfairly portrayed as tinfoil hatters at every turn.

They play the game to win not to tell the truth ....

I'm going to put my tin foil hat and say something crazy. The news isn't fair or balanced and is setup to bring in the most money be showing and running stories that they think people will watch. Fox News is right wing, and everyone else is trying to get the left wing watchers.

We've got to get this rebuttled in the MSM. It'd be hard, but MSNBC clarified their "creative" editing on the George Zimmerman tape.

I watched that segment. I was red in the face. I understand the man lost a son, but he was the heckler. He is testifying, its not an open forum and respecting the forum means any question is rhetorical. He knew that and used it to his advantage when pro 2A respected the mans testimony. I'm glad they spoke out, but maybe should use a different approach than "shall not be infringed". We know thats not what the grabbers want to hear and it fuels their bs crusade.

The people who run the MSM are elitists who want to be some of the few that "rule" the people. This was done in Russia, except their media was born from the Communist Party & not melded into it like ours.

The sheeple know little about history & other parts of the world, so they believe what is told to them. Others may only have access to CBS, NBC, or ABC news and believe what they see. "If it's on TV, it has to be true."

We must educate the masses one at a time. On Sunday during Fix's "America's Newsroom", the male anchor said '...clips with 10 rounds that can fire in one second...' WTH about is he referring????

I find that calm explanation goes a long way.

Limiting the capacity of magazine to stop someone from shooting someone is equivalent to limiting the capacity of a car's fuel tank to stop drunk driving.

Of course it was NBC and the MSM that rigged gas tanks to explode and introduced forged documents right before an election. This is right out of the Communist parties plan for America from the 1920's. They control the media and the schools. These are Domestic Enemies that will stop at nothing. Look at F&F if they had not been caught what would the media be saying? This is the next big step just like Dunblane was in the UK. They will never stop until this once great experiment in freedom is whiped from history.

That would make a GREAT bumper sticker!

"Stop Drunk Driving - Limit Gas Tanks to 10 Gallons!"

they do it here too. If you watch the clip then the report comes back on talking about the crowd shouting at him. Great reporting. class act.

 

[annihilation-time]

He's a slack jawed tragedy troll. Anyone willing to exploit their dead child to achieve a political goal is trash. I'm sure Piers Morgan can't wait to have him as a guest. Absolutely sickening!

 

[Maverick0313]

100% in agreement here....but...thjis is what the mass media is living on. When the President whines about Fox news, you would THINK the public would pay attention. Not happening, unfortunately. I actually listened to a young Dem Pollster on Fox the other night say that Fox was responsible for getting folks spun up on the national debt, "which really isn't that big of an issue". Serously!!!!?????

Via Instapundit:

DOESN’T FIT THE NARRATIVE. Mediaite: Why Hasn’t The Media Been Reporting On Or Booking Pro-Gun Newtown Parent Mark Mattioli? If grieving parents have different policy views, it makes the emotional bullying harder.
