In reference to the title of this thread, I think we need to make a distinction between "left wing media" and "antigun media." The Left is not universally antigun, although, admittedly, there is an overlap. Think of this as a Venn diagram with overlapping circles.
By conflating "left wing" (liberals) and antigunners, we alienate those remaining pro-gun liberals. As besieged as gun owners are, we need all the allies we can get. Remember that the biggest antigunner of all, Michael Bloomberg, is a plutocrat and economic conservative. It would be entirely incorrect to call him a "left winger."
True, definitely no intention of going that direction.
This is why I don't use those terms and would much rather, as you have, use terms that refer more to their beliefs and not their "alignment" because honestly, if you ask me, Democrat or republican? Two sides of the same crooked coin and all of the labels they make up to try to divide people are not what people should choose to align with, defend, nor uphold. The government loves that we fight over who is liberal and who is not while they continue to rob and poison all of us.
Inevitably, what really matters is there are two types of people in this world: One who believes more government having more control of their life is a good thing and those who do not! One believes that the government should have the guns to protect you, the other does not! All of those labels are just more ways the government tries to divide and conquer. Don't allow yourself to be trapped by their artificial and arbitrary labels that don't actually mean anything in the real world. Think about it out side of politics? What would a "Liberal" be in the real world? Dead, because the only thing that matters in the real world is Survival and society protects those who would normally be 'Naturally Selected' and thus there are tons of weak and few strong! That is what someone who allows themselves to be portrayed as some label is, someone who is controlled and manipulated by the government or corporations to do their bidding and refusing to be their own authentic individual and thus, as a result, weak. Weak enough to be influenced by those who lie, poison and murder, not only them, but all life on the Planet Earth!
We can all agree though, regardless of sides/political affiliation, the news sucks now! No real stories, same story on every channel, all meaningless and not real news. They don't talk about any real news stories and are only allowed to talk about what their advertisers pay them to talk about, so: Poisoned pills, insurance, cars, murders, sex and other meaningless topics that have no baring on reality but are instead a self absorbed reflection of this dead and broken, corrupt society that is crumbling before our eyes while everyone cheers on a meaningless football team that doesn't help any one and actually takes food out of the mouths of people just so ONE PERSON can make a million dollars running around on an empty field that also does nothing for the world. Just one big failed meaningless wasteful society of criminals and degenerations, super sad, isn't it? (I mean degenerates but degenerations actually sounds better...because it implies what is true: That this society has degenerated the entire world and is comprised of things that cause degeneration, not merely full of 'degenerates' which is more of a personal insult and one that I do not intend)
