The media would rather keep the issues roiling than present the truths. They give the NRA and LaPierre air time, not challenging their twisted version of facts -- the media did not counter their lies about what was written in the bill.
I was glad to see the president actually use the word "lies" in his furious response to the defeat of the bill.
(Fox News never even covered the message, but that comes as no surprise.)
The media should be ashamed, they fail us time and time again.
