Reply #13: My goodness! Have you looked at MSM's gun-control history? [View All]

[SteveM]

With the likes of WaPo, NYTimes, USAToday and CBS (among many, many others), the gun-controllers had a virtual free-ride for years. Trouble is, once the "research" of the anti-gunners was eviscerated, MSM was left holding the bag of stinky scholarship and has since backed off the issue or -- heaven forbid -- started showing "the other side" of the debate.

This may be hard to face for some "intellectually"-oriented liberals: they are responsible for some very lousy studies, largely penetrated by both conservative and liberal researchers. And I think a lot of liberal democrats now recognize that.
