Gottlieb said the timing of its publication is &#8220;no coincidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuns haven\u2019t sent anybody anywhere,\u201d Gottlieb explained. \u201cCareless people or criminals misusing guns are responsible, but guns get the blame. The problem is that many people never read past the headline, and this sort of thing contributes to the public\u2019s impression that bias drives such sensational headlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Washington State,\u201d he continued, \u201cthere is obvious media bias in some publications about a gun control initiative on the ballot. All five major law enforcement groups in the state, representing thousands of rank-and-file lawmen and women, are opposed to the measure, but the media downplayed their importance, referring to them as a \u2018handful of law enforcement groups,\u2019 or \u2018some law enforcement groups,\u2019 while vastly inflating the importance of three officials, including a single county sheriff, who are supporting the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe press screams when anybody talks about \u2018fake news\u2019,\u201d Gottlieb noted, \u201cbut this bias is exactly what people are talking about, and when it comes to gun issues, it\u2019s blatant. News agencies refer to gun prohibition lobbying groups as \u2018gun safety organizations\u2019 to help disguise their true intent. They talk about \u2018semiautomatic assault rifles,\u2019 when there really is no such thing, since true \u2018assault rifles\u2019 are fully automatic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all subliminal, but it is designed to create an impression about firearms, gun owners and their desire to add further restrictions on the Second Amendment,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s deplorable and dishonest, but it exemplifies why people no longer trust the media. The public is not as dumb as the press thinks, and the proof is shrinking newspaper circulation and declining ratings. The press needs credibility, but on the gun issue, that was sacrificed a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>###<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The<strong> Second Amendment Foundation<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saf.org\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-blasts-media-for-anti-gun-bias-leading-up-to-midterms\" title=\"SAF Blasts Media for Anti-Gun Bias Leading Up to Midterms\">www.saf.org<\/a>) <em>is the nation\u2019s oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms.
