Media reaction, reports, and articals about the gun bills.

[K191145]

I know post's about this subject have been scattered on many different threads, just thought I would start one on this particular subject.

It is no secret that most all local news outlets have a slanted agenda toward the negative side of the gun bills going through the legislator right now, I would just like to here some opinions of who thinks who has had the fairest coverage on these issues.

Now I'm in the middle part of the state so I can only view WKRN ch2, WSMV ch4, WTVF ch5, WZTV ch17, and the Tennessean. I ignore the Tennessean web site and editorials, to me it's a waste of time. I also haven't watched WTVF for a couple of weeks because of a very negative, slanted story they ran then. I haven't seen WSMV do many stories about the gun bills so, so far I believe WKRN and WZTV have had the fairest coverage. At least WKRN has interviewed people on our side in length and has sometimes referred to the "Carry in Restaurants Bill" as the "So-Called Guns in Bars Bill". I have also seen a story on WZTV where our side was represented in length, not just a one liner from a supporter. Here's an artical from WKRN's web site.

Gun bill sponsor says governor, media misfired - WKRN, Nashville, Tennessee News, Weather, and Sports |

Representative Curry Todd said the "Guns in Bars" bill, as opponents have often called it, should be called the "Restaurant Carry" bill.

I haven't seen every report or artical, maybe some of the TGO posters have seen some differently than I have.
