Here's a great example of the media's bias. Watch the embedded video or click on the source link to see how this story was written. Loaded words were used to deflate the actions of the armed citizen and attempt to criminalize him. Using phrases that claimed he was "brandishing a handgun," in an attempt to paint the good samaritan as a reckless cowboy. The author of the source article should check the definition of "brandish" if he or she truly didn't mean to inject media bias. But I have a hard time believing this bias wasn't purposeful when the title of the article starts with "Gunman on the loose..." No, liberal hack wannabe-journalist, there is a responsibly armed citizen out there who has lost faith in the justice in this country and is afraid that exercising his inalienable right to self-defense will lead to his unjust incarceration or hassling at the hands of self-righteous pricks who have never been in a life or death situation but want to Monday-Morning-Quarterback his decisions and actions.
