Oh, I thought somebody just told him his ambassador was murdered by terrorists in Libya…
I’ve been weaning myself off the Rhode Island talk radio thing for a while now. I do have mixed emotions about it however, as I do enjoy hearing what my fellow Rhode Islanders are thinking about the topics of the day. That said, when I listen to hosts like Bill Haberman and Steve Klamkin of 630 WPRO give a free pass on the facts to the folks from the “Rhode Island Coalition Against Gun Violence” (RICAGV), it’s annoying beyond belief, and frankly symptomatic of a broader illness afflicting the “main stream” press these days. Not only are many of the so-called “news outlets” letting a lot of truth slip through the cracks, but instances in which there is someone behind an opposing microphone are becoming a rare occasion at best.
Now I’m not going to brag too much about how I personally would have educated the misinformed gentleman from the RICAGV, thus affording the Saturday morning listeners a more factual picture from which to draw an educated conclusion, but I will suggest the 630 WPRO crew live up to the very weighty responsibility of reporting the news objectively and factually, rather than simply allowing themselves to be the broadcast wing of the Rhode Island Democratic Party.
In fact, you might want to start with this little tidbit the next time the RICAGV stops by… RIGL – § 11-47-60 Possession of firearms on school grounds. – (a) (1) No person shall have in his or her possession any firearm or other weapons on school grounds. Easy stuff people…
Oh, and check out my video block up in the left hand corner. Couldn’t have said it better myself…
