Scott did you see this article over the weekend. I realize it is in a
"suspect" source, Fox News, but I found it interesting none the less
and to your current point.

I suppose if a person really wanted to read it, they might get some
interesting data, if they are interested in data, not just the normal
party line! TnT


Yes, I heard about Wilson's bravery the day it happened. It is indeed
unusual for the mainstream media to even mention that an armed citizen was
involved, and it's entirely unheard of for the liberal press to analyze the
event as Lott did, because it flies in the face of their deliberate anti-gun
bias. The last thing they want to report on is an armed citizen who died
heroically.

They would rather have their fingernails pulled out than lead their stories
on the incident with something like:

"Armed citizen killed by deranged gunman while defending injured cops and
citizens."

Should I have to do what Wilson did, I won't expect any better treatment
than he got, but that's not really the point.
