Media madness is beyond belief.

[bikemutt]

I'm trying to understand the media's recent list of reasons for Portland's sharp increase in "gun violence".

The #1 reason is stated as "Gun sales are up", maybe paraphrased but close enough.

I need some help here; law-abiding Oregonians are entering gun stores, submitting to criminal background checks, enduring ridiculous delays and finally gaining possession of what they paid for.

Then, they run around downtown Portland shooting people and committing other violent felonies?

How on earth do they come up with these causative lists which they proudly display on TV, and actually expect people to take them seriously, ever again?

Come on man! The media would never lie to us.

The flaw in your thinking is believing/expecting the media to be accurate and truthful. They are not. It's not news it's PROPAGANDA. And when it comes to propaganda, never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Nothing to understand. Illegal gun sales are up. Too bad the media can't get past their white guilt progressive filters to see that.

 

[Alexx1401]

At this point its a "what are they going to do"? They are NEVER going to admit they are the cause of the mess. So they have no choice but to keep doubling down on lies. Hell it works so why not.

 

[titsonritz]

Well, yeah, duh. It a moron litmus test, if you trust the media you're a moron.

Do you have data to support this assertion? I'd really like to see a citation. Thanks.

I have a slight difference of opinion: I don't think gun sales have anything to do with the staggering increase in violent crime in PDX (and Seattle, and Minneapolis, and Chicago, and Detroit, and Oakland, and New Orleans, et al). I think it all has to do with the empowering of violent criminals by wokes in government -- absolutely worthless DAs like Mike Schmidt (Multnomah), John Hummel (Deschutes), and Matt Ellis (Wasco) who would just as soon hand out free Cadillacs before putting a thug behind bars. Add to the mix Gavin Newscum, Kate Brownshirt, Jay Dimslee, and mayors like Jacob Smallfrye (the effete boy mayor of Minneapolis who let the ANTIFA mob burn his Third Precinct WITH POLICE OFFICERS INSIDE), Melvin Carter (St. Paul), the pathetic Ted Wheeler who allowed Portland thugs to literally chase him out of his Pearl District condo, Jenny Durkan who allows homeless to sh!t where they please and shoot junk in school playgrounds, black supremacist Lori Lightfoot who got her haircut 'cuz I gotta look good and all ya'll miserable peasants can eff yourselves...' not to mention hundreds of Obama-era local, state, and federal judges, these woke extreme proggie lockstep social justice warriors have all sent a very clear message to the feral class: Rape, rob, murder, go for it. We're not putting your worthless bubblegum behind bars for literally any reason.

I think this is intentional so they can drive up crime rates and continue building their case ultimately to overturn the 2A, perpetually gaslighting the public with their pallid fallacies and making soccer moms believe guns are the cause of homicide. Remember these are the same pack of corrupt-to-the-core cultural Marxists who brought us Fast And Furious to cynically flood our streets with foreign criminal gangs toting American-straw-bought weapons under the guise of "catching cartel shot-callers." Americans were killed with those weapons. By foreign nationals, unlawfully present. With the blessing of the "Justice" Department, and The White House. That Holder is not wearing an orange jumpsuit and washing dishes in Leavenworth is an outrage. He should be sharing a cell with Obama, frankly.

One man's opinion... YMMV.

Hooo DOGGIES!!!! You really let 'er fly with that one! And after midnight at that. Pretty much nailed what I'd like to say too.

That is the problem, they do not realize it themselves. they are sheep themselves that just follow along with the hysteria and whatever gets them ratings..

My thoughts as well.... and I bet there are many people who think this...

I have the answer but its far too cynical to post without people running to safe spaces.

...list of reasons for Portland's sharp increase in "gun violence".

The #1 reason... "Gun sales are up",

In other news;
Breakfast causes lunch.
And after the break;
A new study shows that swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time causes death.
Are YOU at risk?

I have to give kudos to Lester Holt, who for a brief moment last week remembered he was a journalist and held the Kamel's feet to the fire with an actual hard-hitting question and even a follow-up. My gosh, what's got into him??

Scroll to 4:30 to skip all the balloon juice and get to the point where Lester accidentally journalisms for 15 seconds.

A good journalist has to be very very careful.

She looked like she was shocked that someone actually expected her to tell the truth for once too. It seemed to catch her totally off guard. You can just imagine how people like her would fold if they got 1/10th the kind of questioning Trump got. They would jump out of the chair and scream for the Secret Service people to arrest the news people.

This stuff doesn't even register in the dem supporters minds. They are oblivious to it. Just like they are oblivious to the fact Mr Biden doesn't have the brain power anymore to form two coherent sentences in a row.
