Media Bias

Last Thursday in the Seattle area, a father used his pistol to protect his home from an invader who had attacked his 14 year old daughter. The 20 year old perp had broken into the home and snuck up to the girls bedroom in the middle of the night. He proceded to choke the girl in preparation to raping her.

Her 17 year old brother, while getting a drink of water, heard the struggle. He had to force open his sisters door and then proceeded to jump on the attacker. The boy yelled for his father to get a gun as he continued to struggle with the attacker outside of his sisters room.

The father, upon seeing the struggle, fired a warning shot to break off the attackers attack. The attacker then ran out of the house. He was recognized by the family and was later arrested. No one was seriously injured.

The fathers comment upon learning that his daughter had been choked was that if he had know that, he would not have fired a warning shot but would have shot to kill.

In reporting this assault, one of the two major papers and the number one television news station in the Seattle market, made NO mention of the fact that the father used a gun to scare off the attacker and end the assault. They only spoke of the heroism of the 17 year old boy, insinuating that he ended the attack himself.

Media bias? Not in America!
 
Cactus, We just have to get use to it and swallow it like bad medicine. The good news is more people are using different sources for news than ever before and the mainstream sirens of propaganda(Jennings-Rather-Brokaw) have seen several years of decreased market share.

No, we _don't_ have to get used to it. What are the newspapers and the TV station? Do they have websites where we can write and complain? Cactus, if you can provide us with that info, they'll get a hundred or so emails from TFL members, plus more if we forward to our friends.

One skirmish at a time.

Monkeyleg,

I hesitate to release the names of the parties involved since I am reporting this second hand. I heard this from a reliable local talk host, but I do not read this paper or watch this news channel.

If I can find out for sure, I will release the names and web addresses.
 
Hi, Cactus. Over on the General Discussion board is another article from one of the Seattle papers that addresses the point that the father used a gun. So, at least one of the media outlets got it right.
