I welcome any help in understanding the logic. Are they really not as anti as I believe they are; or are they smarter than I give them credit for.
Of course, there's a third possibility - They are purely a factual, unbiased source for news. Any takers?
I saw this piece on TV. I thought it was as even-handed as TV gets be on this issue. They interviewed serveral pro-RKBA people, and they didn't try to make them look like nuts or rednecks.
I have no idea what kind of internal politics went on in the production of this story. There are pro-RKBA people in the media, believe it or not (John Stossel is probably the most prominent example). Perhaps one of them "sold" this story to the producers.
One other thing that I need to get off my chest: CNN is a subsidiary of Time-Warner. Time-Warner is a publicly owned corporation. The only "agenda" it has is making a profit. If they think showing people sensationalistic news will make a profit, that's what they do.
Individual reporters, editors, and producers can be and often are biased and ill-informed (the two tend to go together), but I don't think there's a daily memo to run anti-RKBA stories.
