NYT ‘Retro Report’ Sneaks in Lefty Rants, Mocks 'Fundamentalist' NRA
Clyde Haberman’s “Retro Report” is advertised by the New York Times as a re-examination “of the leading stories of decades past,” but functions more as a way for Haberman to gather up and repurpose old liberal talking points from previous failed bursts of activism. Haberman’s latest, “Battle Was Always Uphill To Get Gun Laws Passed,” tackled the National Rifle Association, the new epitome of…

Ruhle Suggests 'Serious Hypocrisy' in Banning Guns from Pence Speech
On Monday morning, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle read a brief suggesting "serious hypocrisy" on the part of the NRA for barring guns from a speech by Vice President Mike Pence because the pro-gun group generally supports allowing law-abiding citizens to bring guns into most public places.

MSNBC: ‘Real Criminal’ in Waffle House Shooting Was AR-15
In a stunning attempt to shift blame for Sunday’s deadly shooting at a Waffle House in Tennessee away from the mentally unstable criminal who perpetrated the crime, on Monday, an MSNBC panel claimed that gun he used, an AR-15 rifle, was the “real criminal” and that America’s pro-gun culture was also responsible for the killings.
WashPost Promotes 'More Radical' Gun-Controllers Harassing NRA Leader
In 2010, some Obamacare opponents conducted scattered protests at politicians' homes. They backed away from the tactic when Tea Party groups and others declared that home protests should be out of bounds.

MSNBC Paints NRA As Anti-Black, Ignores Defense of Black Gun Owners
On Sunday's AM Joy, during a discussion of her interview with pro-gun liberal rapper Killer Mike, host Joy Reid suggested that the NRA had railed against President Barack Obama because he is black, and MSNBC contributor Toure Neblett accused the pro-gun group of not doing anything to defend minority gun owners.

A one-sided Wednesday report at CBS News tried to convince readers that University of Tennessee-Chattanooga student Brenna Spencer's "I don't take normal graduation photos" tweet picturing her with a firearm generated significant "backlash." To create a false impression, the network cited critical tweets from two users with a combined eight Twitter followers, ignoring far more significant support…
NYT Eager to Use Parkland to Cripple 'Hard-Line...Belligerent' NRA
More unseemly eagerness in Thursday’s New York Times to use the tragic murders in Parkland to help Democrats gain Congress, while weakening constitutional rights. Reporter Alan Blinder went to Helena, Montana searching out “red state” voters willing to reject the “iron rule” of supporting the National Rifle Association, which is "hard line," shows "belligerence," and demands "lock-step loyalty."
