Outrageous Bias !

Just saw WOAI TV San Antonio coverage of the story where a 6 year old boy brought a gun into a Houston school, it dropped and it went off. While the anchor, Randy Beamer, read the story, they showed a picture of a concealed carry license ! What does that have to do with the story ? Nothing except it is not the first time WOAI has distorted shooting facts and put a concealed carry license picture in shooting story that has nothing to do with concealed carry or law abiding citizens ! I worked in broadcast journalism 20 years ago and I can tell you from experience the media bias is unbelievable !

Apparently, Shakespeare was wrong; 'tis the journalists, not the lawyers, that must go first

There are still journalists in America? Where do they keep them? --I'd like to see what one looks like.

Maybe the six year old is a CHL holder and they were just showing his licence.

Hey TAM, awesome comment. Looks like Keith B woke up on the wrong side of the bed though.

Bad day for me, but michael8 is trolling, so would have put that in there no matter what.

The local Houston newscast referred to the kid who dropped the weapon as "the shooter"

Glad I haven't TV.

Bad news, sensationalism and controversy have always sold newspapers. Now it also sells TV time...it ain't nothin' new.

I heard him refered to as the "gunman." As if he went raging into the school with the intent on racking up a bodycount.

I was then rather thrown off when I heard KHOU news say that there had been 162 firearms confiscated at HISD schools within the past 10 years.
