For those who still claim the media isn't biased, here is a hot off the
presses event showing their active bias and how they try to rewrite
history.
Thursday night, CNN broadcast a piece on the Assault Weapons Ban,
because it is coming up for renewal, as it is set to expire in 2004 if
not renewed this year, and it appears that congress is not going to
renew it. CNN presented a very distorted view of 'assault weapons', of
the law, and of law enforcement's opinion of the law.

LAST night, Friday, they had NRA Vice President Wayne LaPierre on for
an interview about their piece of the previous day. Wayne read them the
riot act about how distorted and fraudulent it was, based on lies and
propaganda. He said, "The only difference between CNN and the New York
Times is that when a Times reporter lies, they fire him. CNN should
fire the reporter and producer who produced this piece." The
anchorwoman insisted that CNN stood by its piece and its staff.
LaPierre continued to lambaste CNN, to the point that the host
threatened to take him off the air if he didn't shut up.
Well, today I went looking at CNN.com for a transcript of that show.
They have the transcript for every OTHER show broadcast that day, as
well as all the shows broadcast so far TODAY, BUT there is no
transcript of the LaPierre interview. It is like it never happened. CNN
is trying to rewrite history by selecting what broadcasts become part
of the permanent record online, and selecting what broadcasts the
public has access to after the fact.
If this is not proof positive of the radical left wing agenda at work
at CNN, their lack of journalistic integrity, and willingness to
distort and misrepresent the truth, then the term has no meaning.
