I can find 3 shootings like this tragedy in Florida. One is too many...

The news is playing any incident they can find and turning it into a "school shooting"

I stopped watching the news a couple weeks back. I'm sure I'll start again but it is nice to take a break from it. Too bad there isn't a news station that is unbiased. Like you Lip I'm a conservative but I don't want to watch fox news because you know they will spin it to the right. I just want to hear facts with no agenda behind it.

One of them involves a suicide in a parking lot. Another involves a gang shoot out near school grounds etc.. they use shit like that to pump up their garbage statistics and the mindless anti gunners without actually looking into it simply press that "like" and "share" button. We are living in a time of massive misinformation and it's becoming a massive problem on all levels not just the gun issue.

PBS is unbiased if you're interested in watching unbiased news. MSNBC, Fox, CNN are all garbage.

PBS is unbiased

I will be the first to admit I am a huge fan of PBS documentaries. I have seen every Ken Burns documentary many times over. Frontline is one of my favorite investigative shows. Nova has always been a favorite of mine. Hell I am guilty of slightly enjoying antiques road show. :D

So you could say I am definitely a fan of PBS content. But bro they are left leaning. In frontline for example they show a leftist perspective of any particular subject. It's still a show I watch religiously but I always watch the show with that in mind.

You know how at the start of of their programs they show all the people and companies who donated and contributed to "make this program possible". They are almost always strongly left contributers. Mostly very rice Jewish private citizens and companies.

I'm specifically speaking of the PBS News Hour. Watch it and let me know. They have people on both sides normally and they never raise their voice and yell at each other. It's all intelligent debate.

With His Assault on PBS and NPR, Trump Seeks to Eliminate Real News

The last thing Americans need, in this era of “fake news” hegemony, is less real news.

But that’s what the president proposes.

Donald Trump’s generally onerous budget proposal is very specifically onerous when it comes to the question of whether all Americans will have acceoss to quality news and entertainment programming. Under the Trump proposal, federal funding for public media doesn’t just take a cut—it is phased out altogether.

Conservative Republicans have been angling for years to zero out funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides federal support for local PBS and National Public Radio stations.

Prodded years ago by conservative columnist George Will, who asked, “What about the cultural institutions? Conservatives have considerable grievances against the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the national endowments for the arts and the humanities. What’s their future?” To which House Speaker Newt Gingrich replied: “I personally would privatize them all.”

“There is no viable substitute for federal funding that ensures Americans have universal access to public media’s educational and informational programming and services.”

Gingrich failed, but the agitation never stopped. As US Senator Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts, has said: “PBS is right at the top of their hit list—always has been and always will be, until they can destroy it.”

Now, as he has with so many other items on the right-wing wish list, Trump is delivering for those who desperately want to eliminate alternatives to the unadulterated spin and wrongheaded partisanship that dominates talk radio and too much of broadcast and cable TV.

In much of America, public media provide that alternative. And people trust it.

While PBS and NPR certainly have their flaws, they are exceptionally well regarded when compared with other media. New polling confirms that Americans continue to have more faith in PBS and its member stations than in digital platforms, commercial cable and broadcast television, newspapers, and social media.

At the root of that faith is a sense that public media serve the great mass of Americans rather than advertisers and political agendas. If Trump’s scheme were to succeed, says CPB president Patricia Harrison, the phasing out of funding “would at first devastate, and then ultimately destroy public media’s ability to provide early childhood content, life-saving emergency alerts, and local journalism.”

That’s especially true for rural America, where public and community radio stations are often lonely islands of intellectual honesty and journalistic responsibility in seas of ideological fanaticism and digital fakery. CPB funding helps public and community stations in major markets to do more, but in rural areas CPB funding is often the difference between survival and radio silence.

Trump’s budget proposal claims that “CPB grants represent a small share of the total funding for the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), which primarily rely on private donations to fund their operations.”

But that a deliberate mischaracterization of the reality of how public radio and television stations stay on the air.

Bouncer, did you switch to being a conservative after you discovered and changed your view on guns? You do know that a large majority of more centrist liberal/democrats are pro-gun? Like myself

[Bouncer]

nah nothing to do with guns bro. i never really paid attention to politics to be honest. once I actually started paying attention some of the shit the left was saying was just silly to me, their perspective almost never seems to be common sense.

BUT I also find some of the right wing views to be ridiculous and stupid. the right is usually more religious and tend to be anti science. you know my stance on religion and science. the first i hate, the second i love.

it is my belief that anyone that is far left OR far right is a moron. extreme views on any subject is never the right thing to have. it allows for no fair perspective. you can only view things in a biased way. i prefer to stand firmly in the middle so i can see things in a common sense unbiased way. if trump says some dumb shit i will point it out. if he does something helpful I point that out. extreme left or extreme right can not do that. it's either all good or all bad. both sides are equally ridiculous.

What do you guys think of all these kids in schools doing these protests. Saying stuff like they don't feel safe anymore etc.

Do you think if they feel that way they should just get over it or do you think they have a right to feel safe going to school?

They are going to vote and install politicians who implement gun control over the next few decades. It isn't going to happen overnight though.
