Recent studies suggest the media have a definite bias against guns and gun ownership.
University of Michigan PhD Brian Patrick recently spent a year poring over 1,500 published articles that appeared in such prestigious publications as The New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and Christian Science Monitor, and what he discovered was an obvious bias on the subject of guns. The use of unflattering labels wasn't the only way the media put a negative spin on the gun-control debate. Research conducted by the Media Research Center suggests television coverage is equally one-sided. The 13 million viewers who tune into morning news programs were subjected to the most biased coverage. We should talk about getting rid of guns in this country.
