Look what we have here… Another bit of material that the liberals don’t want us to know about. This list, made up of 12 mass shootings attempts, consists of names, churches and stores that I’m sure only few people will recognize. The reason: mainstream media covers only the issues that will boost their ratings and add to their gargantuan fan base.
“If it bleeds, it leads” is a phrase that may not get tossed around in the large news broadcast companies, but it is undoubtedly an underlying factor when producing the nighty news. They believe a good story requires a helpless victim, gunned down by a heartless villain. News broadcasters see a failed attempt of a mass shooter and assume the public would be disinterested without the bloodshed.
Wrong.
We the people deserve to hear both sides of the story-the good and the bad. It comes as an injustice when media corporations dilute the news with negativity. Is this really what sells?
My advice to the syndicates that exclusively cover biased bloodshed is this: try the truth out for size.
See how we, the people, react to a story with a hero who happens to save dozens of lives through an act of courage and valor. I bet we’d surprise you.
Pick any one of these stories within this list of 12 and you’ll get a look at the more positive, realistic side of guns and the concealed carry culture. School resource officer Carolyn Gudger saved the lives of many because of her quick actions and situational awareness. But did this make the nations front pages? Not a chance. It may have made a few, but the positive outcome of the situation just wasn’t bloody enough for most news organizations.
Take Nick Meli, another man who saved dozens with his rapid response to a lone gunman. As a concealed carrier, he recognized the threat at hand and acted accordingly. The gunman managed to take two innocent lives, but that number could have been much higher if not for Meli and his defensive gun use.
When the media churns out a never-ending volume of anti-gun stories, these positive firearm reports will be simply pushed to the side. This forces the public to dig for the truth. To hear every story, and to really look at the numbers before blindly following mindless media moguls.
