27. NPR is my favorite Old Media news source...
Edited on Mon Oct-05-09 06:41 PM by benEzra
but I have to say their reporting on gun issues tends to be uncharacteristically amateurish, in stark contrast to their reporting on most other issues.

I suspect this results from the fact that guns and gun law are relatively unfamiliar to many reporters and editors, as well as from the unconscious tendency to frame the gun issue as a "good vs. evil" caricature of itself.
