WaPo on Guns
From iGeek
WaPo regularly lies about guns, shooters, gun control and NRA. Very infrequently, they get something right.

Facts[edit | edit source]
- If you want to find FakeNews org that regularly gets caught lying, spinning or propagandizing for Gun Control, against the NRA, Guns, and Shooters, just look to WaPo [1]
- If they were open about their agenda, it would be better... but they lie about it.
- They do things like misleading report about child shootings that included bullshit statistic that said how 1 in 24 kids (4.2%) witnessed a shooting last year. Really? That doesn't sound high to you? [2]
- The facts were the CDC study they were referencing (and didn't link/source to) had a glaring error: the question was, "have your kid ever seen anyone being shot, bombs going off, or street riots". Ever. That's not just last year, and a riot or friends setting off home made fireworks, is not the same as a shooting. [3]
- Any critical thinking fact checker or writer, should have done their job. But they didn't, because confirmation bias. No correction offered.
Other[edit | edit source]
- 2017.06.12 Omits Islam from Islamic attack - WaPo forgot to mention anything about Islam or Terrorism in rememberence of Orlando (Pulse) nightclub shooting. They remembered to stress the need for gun control and gay safe spaces, since Omar didn't know it was a gay nightclub, and no proposed gun control laws that would have helped (since he passed background checks).
- Global Massacres/Christchurch Shooting - 🇳🇿 A Green Nationalist (eco-Fascist), who hates Capitalism, Conservatism, and is Chinese Communist sympathizer. He doesn't like Trump, shot "muslim invaders" because immigrants were over-populating the planet and causing Global Warming, and used a gun instead of bombs, because he felt the left-wing gun-controllers would be his tools and magnify his message, and start a civil war trying to disarm honest citizens. The left ignores that, and spins it as he is a right-winger., Left wing eco-nationalist shot-up mosques because immigrants were over-populating the planet and causing Global Warming.
