The Colorado Shooting and the Media Putting gun-control
propaganda ahead of the facts  Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New
York appears on CNN with Piers Morgan following the Aurora
shooting.   Thomas Sowell  Since so many in the media cannot
resist turning every tragedy into a political talking point, it
was perhaps inevitable that (1) someone would try to link the
shooting rampage at the Batman movie in Colorado to the Tea
Party, and that (2) some would try to make it a reason to impose
more gun-control laws.  Too many people in the media cannot seem
to tell the difference between reporting the news and creating
propaganda.  NBC News apparently could not resist doctoring the
transcript of the conversation between George Zimmerman and the
police after the Trayvon Martin shooting. Now ABC News decided
that the fact that the man arrested for the shooting in Colorado
was named James Holmes was a good reason to broadcast to the
world the fact that there is a James Holmes who is a member of
the Tea Party in Colorado.
