Does FOX news also have an anti-gun bias?

or are they just sloppy reporters or embelishing for ratings and ignoring the facts?
Why you may ask?
I noticed that SKS had been changed to AK-47 today and their talking heads are saying AK-47 now.
Yet if you read this article they changed they missed where it says SKS toward the end.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,315441,00.html

excerpts:
1-
OMAHA, Neb. — A teenage gunman carried his AK-47 into a Nebraska department store
2-
Hawkins used an AK-47 that he stole from his stepfather
3-
She told the Omaha World-Herald that the night before the shooting, Hawkins and her sons showed her an SKS semiautomatic Russian military rifle — the same type used in the shooting.

Yes, the AP contributed to the report but FOX is ultimately responsible....

I don't think in this particular case there is any anti gun sentiment.

The facts are still not in yet. Hell I STILL haven't seen a picture of the gun so it could be either one at this point.

They just don't know what they are talking about but they have to keep talking.

They do the same with airplane crashes. They say stuff that even a beginning pilot would laugh at but they keep right on talking.
 
If it is an SKS with wood stock and all, I doubt you'll see a picture. It makes a much tougher to pass off as an "assult weapon" when it has a wood stock and no EVIL pistol grip.

They can milk this for much more by throwing around their buzzwords and the ever scary "ak-47" moniker.

I don't think their corporate policy is anti gun but they do have Geraldo who is antigun. They try to present a "balanced" news show and analysis.
That said, it doesn't mean even their progun people know what they're talking about.
