When you have a liberal media, it tends to slant the view to their own. They can slant a story in favor of their own agenda. I have commented to the media several times and there are certain reporters that I will not talk to. I have told them that what they reported was not what I said. Believe only what you see and not always what you read.
Eh, I'm not surprised. "People with guns are dangerous and scary, and might hurt me; so I better hire some people with guns to stay near me to protect me from the people with guns."
