CNN on Federal Firearms Application Rejections
While I often complain about subtle bias in the media, I was surprised to see how balanced this CNN story about the results of the Brady Law is. It draws no conclusions from press releases (on either side) and simply reports what is in the study. I clicked on the link expecting to see at least a paragraph talking about either what a rousing success the Brady Law was - because it's "kept 151,000 criminals from getting guns" (not true) or how we need more legislation because "it only prevents 2% of applicants from getting guns and there are probably more bad people out there." They even have a table breaking down the reasons for rejection. Good job, CNN!
