Skipping Over the Shooting at FRC

Brent Bozell's column is released twice a week.
By L. Brent Bozell | Brent Bozell III – Fri, Aug 17, 2012.


Floyd Corkins, a volunteer for the last six months at the D.C. Center for the LGBT Community, marched into the Family Research Center with a gun and serious ammunition, denounced FRC's policy positions and shot a security guard in the arm before being subdued. Another hate crime, but this time against, perhaps, the pre-eminent pro-family organization in America. CBS gave the story 20 seconds. NBC spent 17 seconds.

Imagine a volunteer for the Family Research Council marching into some gay group's headquarters with a gun, and after shouting his opposition to the homosexual agenda, opened fire and wounded a guard before being subdued. Never mind evening news. This would be breaking news! and for days there would be seemingly endless coverage of continued conservative hatred.

These networks are aiding and abetting liberal violence by refusing to identify it as liberal violence. Whether it's vandalism at Chick-fil-A or rapes in Occupy Wall Street camps, these networks simply cannot find "news" in liberal violence of any kind.

One can easily imagine how the national media elite justify their decision to spike the story. No one was killed or in danger of dying. There are dozens of shootings a day in the D.C. area; this is just one more. We have more important things to cover. Both CBS and NBC spent more than two minutes promoting team Obama's "DREAM Act" amnesty for students. NBC devoted two minutes and 45 seconds to a Chelsea Clinton story on orphaned baby elephants in Africa.

These same media outlets pounce on allegations of conservative hatred, even when there isn't a scintilla of evidence. The Oklahoma City bombing was caused by hatred from right-wing talk radio. The Aurora, Colo., killer was a member of the tea party. So, too, was the man who shot Gabby Giffords. On and on it goes; and over and over it turns out not to be true.

ABC led "World News" with the story on the FRC shooting and saluted the heroic security guard for saving the FRC from a mass shooting in their offices. They were the exception.

Our taxpayer-funded media were silent. The "PBS NewsHour" offered nothing. It did have time to announce, "About four million Bumbo baby seats are being recalled because infants can fall out of them." NPR offered no story on "All Things Considered" on Wednesday night but did find time to report on cheating at a national Scrabble tournament. NPR also skipped it on Thursday's "Morning Edition" but covered the riveting story of "inter-tribal cattle violence" in South Sudan.

MSNBC's primetime lineup, starting with Chris Matthews, said nothing about the shooting at FRC — except for Rachel Maddow, who offered a slightly longer brief than Brian Williams. This is the same network that went over the top and around the bend that someone at a tea party rally was carrying a weapon at a rally. So why can't they produce one full story on an actual shooting at a conservative office?

On Thursday morning, the network pattern continued: ABC offered another full story (adding the LGBT volunteer connection). By contrast, NBC offered a tiny anchor-read update. CBS aired nothing but did find the time for a story on the 40th anniversary of the movie "Deliverance." Burt Reynolds in make-believe is somehow more newsworthy than a left-winger aiming to massacre up an office of conservative Christians.

CNN was the most offensive of all. Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage was interviewed on Thursday morning's "Early Start" and protested how the Southern Poverty Law Center's "hate group" designation for several Christian conservative groups — including FRC — is obviously now causing real harm.

In reply, with zero sense of post-shooting decency, CNN anchor Zoraida Sambolin suggested the FRC absolutely deserved the SPLC's "hate group" label, reading from a 1999 FRC pamphlet on the National Man-Boy Love Association and gay activists. She berated Brown: "It is spewing hate, isn't it? ... So it's hate spewing hate."

Within 24 hours of a gay-left activist shooting at the FRC, the world-class jerks at CNN are still demeaning FRC and social conservatives as "hate groups" that should be drummed out of the public conversation.

Some serious fuckary afoot here...

[pauldun170]

Was anyone killed?
Was it just some gay dude walking in and shooting the guard in the arm?

How much coverage is this supposed to get?
If its a gay dude complaining about a conservative organization with a thing for anti gay yapping...why is it a "liberal" thing?

Gay does not equal liberal.
Gay "agenda" does not equal "liberal" agenda.

As for the lopsided coverage, gay mafia doesn't mess around.
Someone may have died as a result of ABC coverage.
Surprised it wasn't reported as a slip and fall.
"Oh no sugar...that man fell on that bullet."

[Trip]

The amount of coverage this shooting got should be the amount of coverage every shooting should get. All the media does is make these fucking nutzo's want to do it more so they can get "famous."

[fatbuckRTO]

Was anyone killed?
Was it just some gay dude walking in and shooting the guard in the arm?

How much coverage is this supposed to get?More than 20 seconds.

The most valid question I see in this guy's diatribe is, "What if the roles were reversed?" I think, if you're honest with yourself, you can say for certain what would have happened if a "conservative" looney had busted in to a Planned Parenthood somewhere, obviously intent on killing multiple people, but was luckily stopped by a guard. We'd still be hearing about it every 20 minutes in the 24 hour "news" cycle. Pretty much the way Fox News is still harping on the actual incident.

I don't think the shooter is gay. All I've heard so far is that he "vehemently supports gay marriage / gay rights." I haven't yet seen an article that identifies him as gay. In fact, it's fairly homophobic for you to assume he's gay. I think you'll be getting more than 20 seconds of coverage from CBS...

Forget all this... even though it's right...

Through last week I was still seeing coverage of the Chick-Fil-A thing... you'd think that since they're still talking about it, a FUCKING SHOOTING would have been bigger news.

I have a race card so I have access to different news cycles and I guess "shootings" where no one dies isn't exactly a big deal since that happens all the time. I can understand how many want pull out a victim card on this since it is so rare for "conservative" folks actually get concrete evidence that they are a real victim of something.

I also don't watch TV news and usually skip over shootings in my news feeds.

It doesn't matter if the guy is gay. What matters is that at some point, a gay thing happened.
I think the bigger issue here is that gays and jews are touchy subjects in media organizations.
An assignment turned in that paints either in a negative light could put you on someone's shit list at work.
Jews have their holocaust cards and they don't expire until 2046.
Right now gays are going through a lot of bullshit just to get the same rights as everyone else so they are getting special treatment in the media.

As for role reversal...there is already an established history\narrative of the opposite happening and that audience is a bankable item. How are you going to switch it up without pissing off your core audience.

TV news is ad driven reality based entertainment. This story of some guy wounding a security guard at a known doochbag organization might be a tough sell and orgs are looking for someone else to do the start up work. If its a big seller at some affiliate maybe one of the big ones will come up with an angle that will not piss off their gay mafia overlords.

I would like it for them to pound this story as an anti-gun piece just so it could throw wanna be victim conservatives off track and get the gun nuts all riled up.


In summary...I believe that this incident is further proof that we should ban things and regulate them in away that makes those people safe and such.

I guess another point I should add is that its hard to keep interested in this topic

[pauldun170]

Forget all this... even though it's right...

Through last week I was still seeing coverage of the Chick-Fil-A thing... you'd think that since they're still talking about it, a FUCKING SHOOTING would have been bigger news.

So chicka fil connection should be the selling point of the story if it were to be blown up in the news cycle?

[OneSickPsycho]

Not necessarily, I'm saying that you'd think it would at least garner more attention because of that. Hell, the guy who went into a movie theater with guns and knives AND DIDN'T FUCKING DO ANYTHING got 10x more coverage than this.

[Homeslice]

Since when was chick-fil-a connected to this story?

[Trip]

Dude had a sack of like 20 chick-fil-a sandwiches with him.

At least that was an interesting story. Who would be dumb enough to bring a BAG of weapons to a theatre? Like that isn't going to attract attention.

[OneSickPsycho]

Dude walks into a place with 20 chicken sandwiches and a fucking gun... sounds interesting to me, hell just from a 'sounds like a bad joke' side of things...

[pauldun170]

I thought Chick-a-fil was a dead end story at this point since gay folks were more interested in good chicken sandwiches than another old straight dude complaining about gay people.

[pauldun170]

I have to admit that the 20 sandwiches thing has got my interest.
How can you run on that angle in the news cycle?
Is there a sandwich to gun ratio guideline out there?

[Homeslice]

Dude had a sack of like 20 chick-fil-a sandwiches with him.

Where does it say this?

Oh, you must have watched ABC, lol.

[pauldun170]

At least that was an interesting story. Who would be dumb enough to bring a BAG of weapons to a theatre? Like that isn't going to attract attention.

I think the reason why the guy with the guns and knives story received more coverage was because it tied into that little story about the guy killing a bunch of people in a theater.

Just a guess though..

[fatbuckRTO]

As for role reversal...there is already an established history\narrative of the opposite happening and that audience is a bankable item. How are you going to switch it up without pissing off your core audience.In other words, the "mythical liberal media bias" is not so much mythical, just economical?

[Trip]

I don't watch TV news. Hell I am surprised basic channels even have anything besides local news anymore.

Sorry it was 15 sandwiches...

Why do you think Fox News is run the way it is? TV News panders to the people that pay their bills.

I agree. My comments are more oriented toward the "there is no liberal media bias but I hate those red-state Nazis with the far-right slant at Fox News" types.

Also, I'm not saying pauldun is one of those types. But I do like kicking him off on a 5 page rant-ply.

Its a fill in the blanks exercise

How is what working....


What?

Sorry about that, I was just finishing up this picture of a cock.
Anyway...

How is "what" working out for me?


Being clever.

Pays pretty well. Occasionally I can get pretty girls to smile.

Hows the yoga thing working out? How are you enjoying the auto fellatio?


Um, great.

Hey, do you want me to take down that post about you being weird. I kinda feel bad about it but in a small way it make me chuckle.


Keep it up then.

This should be my favorite thread ever. I mean, it's got guns, gays, tasty sandwiches and Paul even pulled the race card. Yet, somehow I find it lacking. The internet is lost...

The more I think about it, the more I have regrets. I knew I should have gone with the oft used sammiches spelling of sandwiches that is so much more internet forum savy. Had I done this Phyllis Diller might still be alive and Paul wouldn't have an erection.

Liberal violence. Conservative violence. Such a narrow world view. Violence is violence. It doesn't have a colour or political affiliation. People who slant the news do.

Full version is even funnier......How is this dude actually an employee? I mean I know good help is hard to find in some hoods, but damn.....dude was about to cut someone with his knife "skills"

Staten island doesnt realy count as part of NYC :lol:

There are some prety ghetto areas over there, but its mostly pill popping italians who want percocet and or xannax

It took me a long time to accept that Staten Island was part of New York.
I always considered it the cast away island of New Jersey. Kind of like what Australia was to the England long ago.

I do know a lot of nice folks over there though.

its the painful pitstop you have to make when going to jersey. A lot of the ER docs I know wind up out there, decent place to work and see a fair share of trauma. Plus they get th eones who jump off the verrazano and live, well for alittle while anyway

He works in the medical field. So yes.

Lesson one in keeping yourself healthy. Look at what doctors, nurses, EMTs, CNAs, PAs, Pharmacists, and other healthcare providers do and do the complete opposite of what they do. You'll live to be at least 150 years old. People in the medical field have the worst health habits.

By the way, how does one walk in fully loaded and only manage to get subdued by a guard you shot in the arm? Do gay people have their own "gangsta stance" that gives them the accuracy of a civil war cannon at a mile?

Likely has something to do with him slapping his target and saying, "Bitch!" before bringing out the gun.
