Freedom of the Press Does Not Mean the Freedom to Leave Out Details

When you leave out important details to spin a situation or bias a story, it is the same as lying. Watch this video from the BBC News (Britian).

As you all know, England has effectively disarmed all of its citizens, and the escalating crime has marched on as usual. In the reporters obvious attempt to spin this story in the anti gun ownership mode, he failed to present other important facts, such as the lengthy criminal history of the men who were shot, as well as their illegal immigration status.

Now watch a video that gives a few more of the facts:

Would you say that he missed a "few" of the important details? What a twit. I will admit that Britian's SAS are great soldiers...of course many of them are Scottish.

There is the news, and then there is the truth, which makes me pose this question. Is this the tactics that the Obama camp will use in the media in the future to push their gun-a-phobia anti gun rhetoric to the uninformed public? Stay tuned.
