Firearms Special on MSNBC "Behind the Trigger"

[MagnumDweeb]

or MSNBC, sorry thought to post it when I first woke up and saw it this morning but forgot to as I woke up on a cold morning in Florida. It's on one of the major news networks (not FOX, CNN, or CNBC), it's on a 9pm this Sunday. From the blurry of images I saw on the commercial there was a Thompson SMG, an Kalichnikov, and some other "mean" looking firearms. I'm so tuning in to see what the anti nonsense that gets spouted.

Fixed the title for you.

 

[Dr. Fresh]

It's on MSNBC, I don't expect good things.

 

[Kind of Blued]

I've only experienced three words of this production (the title) and it already sounds like nonsensical anti-gun bile.

 

[Guns and more]

MSNBC? I won't waste my time with those whores.

If MSNBC is now going to have a "special" dealing with black rifles, that tells me the push is on for a new "assault rifle" ban. MSNBC is going to start laying the groundwork. I'm far too old to believe in coincidence. I also strongly suspect there will be an "incident" involving a black rifle, highly publicized, which will curiously be just in time for the lefties to push for the ban.

*crosses fingers and puts on naive hat* maybe it'll be alright. I've actually read a few articles over the last few weeks the are pretty balanced...which reminds me...off to post a link

The fact that so called news stations even have segments "about" anything at all shows they are biased. Their job should be to report about actual happenings in the world. Not to do public interest crap designed to mold opinions.

nailed it, couldn't have said it better myself

 

[tmajors]

Will be interesting to watch just for all the non-facts, opinion, and false information they spew as facts.

 

[ServiceSoon]

Media, the largest special interest group there is.

msnbc.msn.com/id/27666800/

seems mostly unbiased

Is there a link to specifics of the TV program?

I can't find it.

 

[withdrawn34]

I can't find it, either. Weird.

When I search, the only relevant result is this thread.

 

[statelineblues]

The only one I could find is a "Special Report" about guns featuring Al Roker - airs next Sunday (11/23) at 10:00pm on MSNBC-TV.

 

[jakemccoy]

^That's probably it. Can you post the link? I can't find it. I don't know the secret handshake. Programming in different parts of the country is often completely different (i.e., more than just a time zone shift). So, please just post the link.

Bingo. MSNBC should just be renamed MSDNC as they are jsut a mouth piece for the Democrats. I would agree this is a precursor of things to come.

 

[statelineblues]

Sorry, jakemccoy, but couldn't find a link - saw it advertised on MSNBC yesterday and wrote it down. Maybe on their (MSNBC-TV) website later this week...

I did the jump ahead on my program guide, Sunday, 10 pm Roker Reporting, Armed in America, news.( there is also a Roker Reporting at 5 pm, but it gave no content description)times are eastern

 

[Spyvie]

Doesn't sound balanced to me, but I'll wait to judge.



From the popup on the TV Guide program grid

In the first of a series of investigative reports, Al Roker examines gun crime. Included: the work of the ATF; how guns wind up in the hands of criminals; the role that guns play in gang violence and drug trafficking.

On Sunday the 23rd @ 10AM, 2, 7 and 10PM

 

[Gunnerpalace]

Al Roker examines gun crime

I thought he was GMA's weatherman?

 

[ArfinGreebly]

Topic?

So, are we gonna get a report on the program, or are we gonna make this about the media in general?

 

[bluetopper]

We are trying to acquire info about the specific program mentioned in the title.........OK.

Let's not close the thread yet.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

So, are we gonna get a report on the program, or are we gonna make this about the media in general?

I see a lot of questions on where to find the program and the prejudiced bias of the program's name and TV Guide program description.

I see a lot of "let's wait and see what MSNBC does with this" responses.

I see questions/comments about MSNBC's objectivity. Not the media in general.

I also see a recognition of biased media "stories" like this driving anti-RKBA legislation. If we cannot discuss that here...the Antis have already won.
