The difference between being a reporter and being an analyst is that a reporter must rely on speed to report the news quickly and is thus allowed a certain margin for error. An analyst, on the other hand, has no such freedom or license. An analyst also will offer his or her opinion as to the ultimate results that are likely to occur from the existence of those facts. Once cleared, the purchaser will then be issued a form of federal identification bearing the name, photograph and fingerprints of the gun owner, together with specific identification of the actual firearm that individual has purchased. This is in direct contravention of citizens' rights unconditionally protected by the Second Amendment, and it behooves every thinking American to resist such a threat by voting for his opponent.
Analysts project into the future, while journalists report on present-day events in our lives.
There is a close parallel to cops and lawyers. We know now that after CBS proclaimed Bush as the winner, it was a rush to judgment. As is often the case, this proved to be a major mistake. Hopefully the American public will remember this experience and learn that just because the media makes a statement does not make it so. We must question the veracity and credibility of all that we read and hear.
