Friends of the Second Amendment,
Let ABC News know that you're mad as hell!
Perhaps most of you were enticed by aggressive advertising to watch
Peter
Jennings Monday night sham of a documentary, "Gun Fights." As Jennings
suggested from the outset, the hour he devoted to the subject wasn't
about
gun control, but about "power." What Jennings cleverly set about doing
from
therein was making a monkey out of NRA's Wayne LaPierre. In the process,
Jennings seemed hell-bent on undermining NRA's "power."
What gun owners should be concerned about isn't the egg on LaPierre's
face,
but the damage it may have done to NRA's credibility when Wayne
stumbled. And
Wayne DID stumble. Why NRA didn't put James Baker in front of the camera
is
beyond me.
What aim did Peter Jennings have in this foul piece of journalism? To
undermine whatever influence NRA was about to have in this upcoming
election.
Indeed, in his closing statement, Peter Jennings looked into the camera
and
told his viewers; "Four weeks from tomorrow when we look at the exit
polls on
election night we'll be able to see just how well the NRA did. Did
enough gun
owners vote only their guns? Or did they see a larger picture?"
Regardless of whatever disagreements you may have had with NRA, and I've
had
mine, committed gun rights people should see through Jenning's blatant
propaganda, but the millions of naive gun owners who watched this
program
probably did not.
It is important for the gun-rights faithful to flood ABC News with calls
of
protest about the not-so-hidden agenda of this piece, and the fact that
it
was grossly imbalanced.
The good news is that I have the DIRECT phone number of the woman who
did
most of the ground work in this malodorous piece, Linda Hirsch.
Linda is Peter Jennings assistant producer, and was instrumental in
putting
this project together. She can be reached directly at 212-456-5867.
Give her hell. I am.
