If there is a bow-up in journalistic ethics, gross reporting errors, poor scholastic work, etc., which is detrimental to the gun control "cause," one must go to whatever source may be available in order to find out more, or to find out about it at all. MSM is all-in for gun control, and has been for nearly two generations. In general, MSM covers its ass en masse when it deals with gun bans.
