[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3242431, member: 5391"] You seem, to be to use your phrase 'hung up' on what I said about marriage, but you must have missed the part where I agreed with you about the government getting out of the marriage business altogether. If the media (and yes; I must) had not portrayed the civil rights movement as they had, and had ignored the fire hoses and police dogs and instead, concentrated on depicting Blacks as criminals then the movement would have not gotten nearly as far, nearly as fast. Take another issue--that of guns. Do you think the media is not trying to influence the public against people like us with their constant fear-mongering about concealed carry? They could see that the results of states enacting RTC laws was nothing like what they routinely portrayed. Where are the people taking the law into their own hands or the gunfights at every fender-bender over every disputed parking spacer. Granted this has happened a few times, and one time is too many, but they are nowhere near as prevalent as the gun-control advocates and their media allies said they would be. The VPC folks predicted a rise in the level of violence of RTC passed in the years since it started the homicide rate has dropped. Or take he AWB that the Democrats want so badly. Every time a mass shooting with a semi-auto happens the media is three alongside the Democrats, backing them up. These rifles are portrayed as the worst thing that America is facing, in spite of the fact that homicides from any long gun are less that 1000 annually. They are trying to frighten the public and they are succeeding here, even if they are failing on guns in general. Another area is with UBC's. this is an idea that looks good on paper but the only way for it to have any effect at all is with universal registration. They constantly propagandize the public about the 'gun show loophole' and how gun shows are 'bazaars for criminals' and gloss over the usual result of registration: confiscation. Don't kid yourself, my friend. Each of these movements (civil rights, gay rights, and gun control) is dependent upon a sympathetic media. They know that media support is vital for them to achieve their goals. [/QUOTE]
