There has been a lot of media coverage on the hearings - TV and Radio. TV coverage I saw - local Fox affiliate- showed the NRA Representative and the guy whose daughter answered a Craigslist Ad for a Nanny and was shot with not a lot of commentary from the reporters and seemed to be more balanced than I would have thought and the radio - MPR - very much weighted to the Anti's although they did present the sound bytes from both sides, the commentary was slanted and weighted to the anti - not surprising.
Is there a post action News Release sent out to help the Media understand the position from the Pro Gun side? I think the Media can't help but let their bias take over, but they are pretty lazy, so they might be susceptible to having information spoon fed to them. I might be dreaming, so I understand that even with a Press Release, they could still drift Left into their historically Liberal lanes with or without the facts in front of them.
from what I saw it did look like the typical - Anti's appealing to the emotions because they lack data to support their fears and the Pro's using logic and facts.
Thank you to those who represent us so well. I am looking forward to a day when I can get more involved - until then, I'll keep contributing and would encourage those who can't "DO" to support those who "Do". Government is run by those who show up.
