Looking at the police helicopter video of the Rochdale
car-chase shooting case, doubtless everyone said "bad guns!"
and nobody said "bad cars!". Logically, they should have
been saying "bad men!", shouldn't they?
[...]
Well, if the gist of the reported news is such that
firearms are being made out to be the premise for the crime,
then how many people called into the TV station/s and
gave the station manager a considered piece of mind?
Sometimes it takes a coordinated effort of many
people calling in to make a complaint, especially if you can
get your spouse (or whomever) to call in right after you do.
If everybody did that, there would automatically
be twice as many calls. And, if you encourage the rest of the
family to follow suit, well, it's going to appear that the
station rolled over to the wrong side of the bed!
The antis play this game all the time, and its about
time that you used fire to fight fire.
But whatever you do, don't threaten to quit watching
their shows or their station, because they realize that better
than 99 percent of those who say such things won't carry
through with that threat.
Better to call the companies that pay for the adverts
for the shows, and tell them direct about how you feel about
their unmitigated effrontery to front for such trip.
Cut loose and tell them that you are going to mount a
serious boycott of their goods. That usually gets them.
The great object in all of this is to first stifle the bad
news, and then work on getting the good news to see the light
of day. If the antis made it work for them, so can you. We do it
here in the US all the time. It does work.
