"I come from a state that has virtually no gun control..."

Sanders: Majority Of Gun Owners Are Responsible And Obey The Law

By Robert King, Jul. 5, 2015, Washington Examiner

Vermont liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that the majority of gun owners are responsible and obey the law.

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, Sanders said that a gun manufacturer should be no more responsible for a murder performed by their product than a hammer manufacturer is responsible "if someone beat someone over the head with a hammer."

Sanders was taking on detractors who have pointed to a bill he voted for that shields firearms manufacturers from being sued by gun violence victims. Presidential rival Hillary Clinton made reference to this bill in New Hampshire Saturday, saying that it was the "height of irresponsibility not to talk about it."

Sanders noted Sunday that he has a pretty poor grade of a D- from the National Rifle Association and has voted for the assault weapons ban.

Sanders suggested that he could broker a "serious debate and action on guns," but that it won't happen if "we have extreme positions on both sides."

Bit Of A Head Scratcher!

NBC Fires Donald Trump, But Keeps The Rev. Al Sharpton

By Dwight L. Schwab Jr. Jul. 3, 2015, Washington Examiner

In one of the most startling politically correct decisions any major television network has ever made, NBChas fired Donald Trump. Whether it was the right decision after his remarks about illegals coming over the border from Mexico or not, how is it they retain the Reverend Al Sharpton who makes Trump seem mellow? The MSNBC host has made equally offensive statements (or more) and keeps his job, Kayleigh McEnany, editor of Political Prospect, told CNN on Wednesday.

Yet Trump was immediately criticized when he said in his June 16 presidential campaign announcement, "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Hardly anything more alarming than most of Sharpton’s commentary’s or false remarks he has made in the past away from the MSNBC studios; Ferguson, MO and the ensuing riots being a prime example.

But that wasn’t the only hit Trump got in recent days. Last week, Univision announced it would not air Trump's Miss Universe pageant. NBC followed their lead by announcing Monday; they too were cutting all ties with Trump, including his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and dumping him as host of "The Apprentice." Yet the reverend keeps his job as a bombastic and highly controversial host of a regular “news” and commentary show at NBC’s sister network.

Only 70%?

Poll: 70 Percent Of Americans Believe News Media Is Intentionally Biased

By Eddie Scarry, Jul. 3, 2015, Washington Examiner

Nearly three quarters of Americans believe the news media reports with an intentional bias, according to a new survey.

The 2015 State of the First Amendment Survey, conducted by the First Amendment Center and USA Today, was released Friday. It shows that only 24 percent of American adults agree with the statement that "overall, the news media tries to report the news without bias," while 70 percent disagree.

When the question was asked last year, 41 percent agreed, a 17-point difference.

"These are discouraging results for those of us who have spent our careers in journalism," Ken Paulson, president of the First Amendment Center, wrote in an op-ed for USA Today on Thursday. "In 23 years in newsrooms, I saw consistent and concerted efforts to get stories right. Clearly, the public's not convinced."

The survey suggests that controversies this year that engulfed national news anchors Brian Williams of NBC and George Stephanopoulos of ABC may have had a deep impact on public trust in media. It also floats the idea that the public has had a negative reaction to news coverage of the racially-charged events in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore, Md.

Poll: 72% Fear Economic Crash, Concern 'Highest Ever'

 By Paul Bedard, Jun. 26, 2015, Washington Examiner

The ever-expanding Republican presidential field, which threatens to splinter over social issues as dark horses grab hot-button topics for attention, is being urged to stick to the economy where the real pot of voter gold sits.

"Concern over the economy is the highest I've ever seen," top GOP pollster Ed Goeas told the moderate Republican Ripon Society. He said 72 percent are worried about an economic downturn.

"Republicans need to get into the game on better turf and that means talking in specifics about how we will bring the economy back and help create the jobs that go with real recovery," added pollster David Winston.
