local media on Mexican gun problems

Posted by David Hardy · 28 June 2009 10:56 AM

Story here. An all too typical piece, written in a few hours. There are gun shows, interview and quote some antigunners, make claims without proof (i.e., that four firearms are the weapons of choice), confuse full and semiauto, and publish.

Read it this morning, since it was on the front page. I'm already working on my letter to the editor, and the author...

From the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ)
http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp, the first tenet says:

"Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible."

Clearly a FAIL.

From reading the comments on that website would appear the author of the piece has created a whole new fan club for himself.

It's almost like the media has a template for writing anti-gun articles.

And the Fourth Estate wonders why we've stopped buying their newspapers...
