Positive gun report on CBS 2 New York !

That report was pretty good. Is it just me or did that liberal guy sound a helluva lot like the 'microsoft sam' voice that my computer has?

Sounds more like the 'deranged' voice my Mac has...

I'm also glad to see some positive press from an NYC news outlet. Perhaps the tide is turning... ever so slightly.

Because this is a topic-specific forum that aggregates stories from all over the country into one place. When viewed in context of all news stories from all networks in the nation, the ones we see here that are positive are still an extremely small amount.

Negative pieces also aggregate here but aside from rants aboout editorials I don't see those mentioned that often in threads either. There do tend to be other things going on in the world so i'm not so sure what is expected.

Instead of talking around it, if you have something to postulate, you can come out and say it.

Are you attempting to claim the media does not have a bias against gun ownership?

Which part does the metanarrative get wrong; that guns are generally reported on negatively in the media, or more specifically that New York city media trends strongly anti-gun?

The metanarrative is the one that defines the media as being liberal due to the individual person's dissatisfaction with the information conveyed. If anything, the narrative regarding the presence of negative reporting in the media is subservient to that metanarrative.

There are 2 postulates in that statement:
1. The media coverage of negative gun pieces being collected here is infrequent, as are the positive gun pieces.
2. The relative infrequency of both negative and positive articles reflects their presence in context to all of the other topics for coverage.
