I always believed that the "vote with your pocketbook" was what worked best when dealing with the media and other businesses that were overly against those issues that I hold near and dear. I dropped the local newspaper some 20 years ago when our squirrly little "reporter" absolutely blasted a 14 year old girl's grammer and spelling in a "letter to the editor" complaining about liberal policies creeping into the education curiculum. I stopped watching any and all "network programming" about the same time, and never see the advertising anyway so I don't have any idea what manufacturers to whine to. They probably don't reach me anyway. Both print and tv "news" is now nothing but opinion pieces from the ignorant "journalists" (and that title is used very loosly), and little if any is actually reporting of the facts alone. Personally, I don't like the fact that I have to scour the internet in order to assemble enough believable information that tends to make some sense of an issue, but that's the way it seems to have moved. As for firearms related publications .... most of the product reviews are certainly slanted (my son does product reviews, and I have done some in the past, so I know the "drill"). Reviewers (for the most part) are paid for their service, so a "good review" tells the next manufacturer that you are the go-to guy for them too. If there is any truth to this story that an evil force is trying to kill all the firearms journalism (which I really doubt), the market place will remedy the situation if it so chooses.
