Katie Couric and Honesty on Guns

[makattak]

I love the quote purportedly from Mark Twain:

"If you don't read the news, you are uninformed. If you do read the news, you are misinformed."

Partisan press is not a new development.

Yep, the recent development is the idiotic idea that journalists are noble and truthful or something.

Even 10 years ago people had that sussed.

Did the mockumentarians videotape themselves confessing to gun-related crimes? (Not that anything will come of it.)

Ms. Soechtig incredulously states in her interview how such a private party transfer was legal, but, in fact, under existing federal law, it was illegal.

I don't know a lot about the law in question, and forgive me if this was already brought to light.

Couric admits she would prefer armed protection for herself:

Short list:

1. Semi-Automatic Firearms Only Recently Became Popular?
2. Citizens Didn’t Have Access To The AR-15 For Years?
3. The AR-15 Has Been Falsely Marketed As A “Sporter”?
4. The AR-15 Is A Tool For Murderers?
5. “Billions” In AR-15 Sales?
6. The .223 Cartridge Is Especially Lethal?

It was amended to Five Lies. Like the burger chain.

They redacted the bit about how lucrative the AR market may or may not be. Wonder why.

Not a lie, per se, but an unsubstantiated claim.

The other five claims are demonstrably false.


(ETA: just for grins)

Tough to prove in court, but I wish them success.

[Hawkmoon]

Perhaps not that hard. It seems the VCDL have their own tape, so they can document that the 9 seconds of silence that were presented as their inability to respond to a question actually came about because the producers instructed them to sit silent for ten seconds so they could "calibrate the equipment." Then,, by  massive feats of legerdemain, those ten seconds of "calibration" somehow got edited into the sequence following a key question.

Curiously, their immediate responses to the question (which they also have on tape) did NOT make it into the finished piece.

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of jourmalists into what I call the 'basket of deplorables.'

Full reference for my above paraquote (images and ads redacted):

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/09/13/irredeemable-clinton-deplorable/

Hillary Clinton’s elitist sneer at roughly a quarter of the American populace went much further than her instantly memorable “basket of deplorables” line. The full quote ran as follows:

"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America."

Just in case someone didn't get it.

[Hawkmoon]

Well, now I'm confused. I must be suffering from some form of identity disorder. I'm 72 years old, and for my entire life I thought I was an American. The United States government apparently thought I was, too, when my friends and neighbors at local board number 9 invited me to take an all-expenses-paid tour of southeast Asia.

And now HRC informs me that I'm NOT American! Now I'll have to head over to the VA hospital and see if they have a clinic for PESD (Pre-Election Stress Disorder).

[Does this mean my American passport has been revoked?]

More importantly, now that we're some sort of undocumented non-immigrant non-citizens does that mean we can now commit crimes with relative impunity and apply for all sorts of welfare benefits?

[230RN]

No, because you speak English.

[KD5NRH]

Mi havas neniun ideon kion vi ĵus diris.

[230RN]

Well, then learn English.  Like my grandparents did.
