WA EX:
Reporters and editors at the largest news outlets overwhelming dislike and distrust the people demonstrating against Virginia’s proposed gun restrictions. This is clear as day, and every journalist, center-left media critic, and media defender would do well to admit as much.
The media elite hate guns, favor gun control, and bear disdain or at least distrust for those who are passionate about gun rights.
Reporters’ coverage of and reaction to Monday’s Second Amendment demonstration makes that abundantly clear.
For starters, NBC News reporter Ben Collins, again, he’s a reporter, not an opinion writer, flatly and falsely called the demonstration a “white nationalist rally” in a tweet calling on everyone covering it to “verify information” before tweeting it out. Collins has deleted the smear-tweet, but you have to consider the nature of the error.
While deeply thinking about accuracy in tweets, a news reporter falsely called a gun rights rally a “white nationalist rally.”
The simplest explanation here is that Ben Collins considers gun rights activists to be vile and hateful creatures. NBC News, Collins’s outlet, gave the march the Joker treatment, darkly warning everyone it would be a horrible, violent day, truly reflecting their expectations.
It’s not hard to read between the lines of the Washington Post‘s coverage: “Chants of ‘U-S-A, U-S-A’ broke out every few minutes, but by 10:15 a.m. there were no signs of violence or conflict with law enforcement officers.” read more
Google/YouTube owes a big-time explanation what community standards were violated that caused them to keep shutting down live feeds. Didn’t see any violence or anything else, other than properly secured and carried firearms.
We all knew this would be a peaceful day AS LONG AS THOSE ANTIFA ASSHOLES DID NOT SHOW UP AND CREATE A VIOLENT SITUATION.
– You can be sure that if they showed up and started fights the media would be blaming the otherwise peaceful Conservatives
Maybe employ the McSally Rejoinder to questions from the press: I’m not talking to you, you liberal hack.
The feeling of hate is mutual.
You needed the Richmond Rally to figure out that the DeMSM presstitutes hate gun owners? If so, you’re behind the curve.
On the street in Richmond outside the Capitol was the safest place in America yesterday. I saw open carry of many sidearms, plus AR-15s, AK47s, M16s, & other long rifles. It was a beautiful sight.

I’ve got a feeling the thug tools took a look at the firepower on our side and said maybe we should sit this one out?
Further proof was not needed.
Hating people that are heavily armed, and potentially violently opposed to having their constitutional rights violated; I just don’t see how this is going to work out well for them.
There were many open carry weapons outside of the “secure penned-in enclosure”. I talked to one guy who saw someone lugging a 50-cal machine gun. No wonder antifa decided not to show up.

WHY would NBC know what the Pledge of Allegiance is? 🤨
That’s an AMERICAN tradition! 😳
