The picture of James Harrison’s personalized Draco.\u00a0 (Photo: Instagram<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

President Trump released today his much-anticipated Fake News Awards<\/a>, a laundry list of the untrue articles and tweets published in the past year by members of mainstream media.<\/p>\n

But fake news encompasses more than just simple fabrications. Exaggeration also falls within the expertise of our venerable journalists, as a recent \u201ccontroversy\u201d surrounding New England Patriots linebacker James Harrison shows.<\/p>\n

Harrison posted an image of his new AK-47 pistol, which had been engraved with his number and nickname, \u201cDeebo.\u201d \u201cThat new Deebo Draco,\u201d Harrison says of the gun that still includes the tags from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Many of his commenters praised the post, but to read the coverage from the Huffington Post and the Boston Globe, you might think that Harrison\u2019s photo sparked a firestorm and that the Patriots were at risk of losing Sunday\u2019s playoff game against the Jaguars.<\/p>\n

Mark Shanahan at the Boston Globe<\/a> begins breathlessly, \u201cYikes. Newest Patriot James Harrison posted a picture of an assault rifle on his Instagram account because, well, we\u2019re not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ron Dicker at the Huffington Post<\/a> follows suit: \u201cHere\u2019s a distraction the New England Patriots may not need as they prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in the AFC Championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The articles exclusively highlight Harrison\u2019s critics on Instagram, saying, as Dicker does, that the post \u201cinvited backlash (and some admirers).\u201d<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true that a number of commenters criticized Harrison, the vast majority of users expressed support for the linebacker.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a role model man. I love it and good to see a 2nd amendment lover on my favorite team. Let\u2019s go Pats,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cSick piece bro. Enjoy your new baby,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n

Many comments react to the small number of Harrison\u2019s critics: \u201cWhen you trigger a Libtard, you’re doing something right. Go Deebo!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Shanahan and Dicker explain that Harrison is a long-time supporter of the Second Amendment, at one point posing shirtless for Men\u2019s Journal while holding two handguns. Harrison also expressed support for arming teachers and students to prevent school shootings.<\/p>\n

These facts are relevant to Harrison\u2019s Instagram post, but both articles also include an account of a 2008 incident in which Harrison broke down a bedroom door and slapped his girlfriend in the face. All charges were dropped when the linebacker entered a counseling program, and the incident didn\u2019t involve a gun.<\/p>\n

Neither article expresses it outright, but the implication is clear: a man who likes guns must also be prone to violence. James Harrison\u2019s support of gun rights and his actions towards his girlfriend are connected, and NFL fans should be cautious before supporting anyone who enjoys shooting sports.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s ridiculous, of course, but that\u2019s the state of journalism today. Shanahan and Dicker ignore the thousands of Americans who support gun rights while highlighting the small number who oppose. If Americans want truthful firearm coverage, they might have to turn to other news sources.<\/p>\n
