That broadcast followed on the heels of yet another gun-control doc, airing less than 2 weeks ago, in a "double barreled" effort by PBS.

MSM has always been an advertising ATM for the controllers, but the "issue" has been lodged into the journalism mindset for so long, I think it has lost track of popular sentiment, failing to catch even a drift of what is beyond the Beltway, SF, NYC, Baltimore, and a few other elite concentrations. Journalists seem to think that gun-control will benefit from the old time religion of a "movement" getting a 60s-type boost from powerful MSM coverage. It didn't then. It doesn't now.
