So they finally had to come out and admit it; now that the Coroner has released some info, along with Police. An AR-15 Rifle (Bushmaster)- the so-called "Assault Weapon" was NOT used in the school shooting. The shooter even tried earlier to buy a Rifle, but was turned down in the background check. So he had to kill his Mother, and steal her rifle. There were initial reports right after the shooting that Police found the AR-15 Rifle in his car, NOT IN THE SCHOOL. The Rifle was not used. The Shooter went into the school with 4 concealed handguns- not an "Assault Rifle", as the media has charged (no doubt because, carrying a rifle would have made his intentions patently obvious) .
Remember in the intitial hours of this shooting, the Police said they found the Rifle in the car. Apparently, the News Media had a Pre-Planned "explanation" already waiting, to support their agenda of banning so-called assault weapons; and jumped on that line of reporting- knowing it was a lie. This includes people like Piers Morgan- who said the shooter used an AR-15 that shoots hundreds of rounds per minute, as if it were a machine gun. What kind of journalists engage in this distorted and dishonest misrepresentation of available facts? This kind of sensationalist, false rhetoric
undermines all credibility, is counterproductive to crafting genuine solutions, and is unworthy of being called NEWS.
The specific 1st Amendment protections afforded the News Media ("freedom of the press") include a sacred responsibility- to serve as the public's watchdog, and to pursue the TRUTH- no matter where it leads. This is yet another example of their utter and abject failure; and more evidence- to question everything that comes out of their mouth. Even MSNBC saw fit to correct the record (a record that was created in an intentionally false rush to judgment):
