This came up in my podcasts this morning. Here's the link to the web page.

I think that it's interesting that various left leaning media organizations have been doing a reasonable job at digging into the technical aspects of shooting sports. There was an SF Chronicle article on highpower as a sport that wasn't too bad. There was another NPR story on price gouging in ammunition sales and the psychosocial motivation for people not raising prices during a shortage...basically because customers see that and resent it to the point of never buying from them again. Cough cough...CheaperThanDirt...cough cough.

I still think that these stories get a bit editorialized, but it keeps surprising me that they keep coming up.
If I put on my tinfoil hat, I'd say that they want to have a few neutral articles so when they publish their far left field stuff they can say that they are balanced. Either way, it's nice to see some attempt at seeing our side of the story.
