1. fine example of unethical journalism

but then, their role models are criminals like David Gregory and assholes like Piers Morgan, the media is no longer journalism.

This Feb. 8 meeting, held three months after Sunnyvale passed Measure C, a municipal gun-control ordinance, is only the beginning. Communities in Silicon Valley have unexpectedly become ground zero for gun nuts and the malevolent NRA, as towns like Los Gatos and Cupertino consider measures similar to Sunnyvale’s, which restricts the size of gun clips and requires greater record-keeping of firearms.

This isn't journalism. Journalism reports accurate information, accurately and honestly explains each side's view and let the voters decide for themselves. This is some Piers Morgan wantabee causing I.F. Stone to roll over in his grave.
It reminded me of this post at Ethics Alarms
