by The Today Show ran a new feature called The Rossen Report where their so-called investigative reporter Jeff Rossen was shocked(!) to find that people used the Internet to advertise guns for sale. Tam applies a industrial-grade smackdown as only she can do.
I demand that we close the Going Wherever You Want Loophole! If we checked everyone for government issued photo ID as they walked out their front door, we could prevent sidewalks from being superhighways for criminals, but the ACLU has vowed to fight any such legislation.
That’s about the level of logic on display here, wherein some de-beaked, cage-raised Manhattanite makes the discovery that the barbarians in far-off free-range America, ‘way across the Hudson, are allowed to sell their personal property to each other without going through an orgy of forelock-tugging and Mother-may-I down at the cop shop.
Suck it, media boy. I know this may come as a shock to you, but hardly anybody’s even listening to you anymore. Maybe the steady hemorrhage of Nielsen ratings has caused an hypoxia-inducing vacuum in the studio, but even non-president Al Gore can tell you that you’re on the wrong side of history on this one; I’m sure you have him on speed dial down there at msnbc, so call him and ask him.
For another fisking of this (non) story, can be found on YouTube here. The last time anyone paid any attention to Jeff Rossen was when he appeared in Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine. Of course, it wasn’t serious attention.
As Rossen is funded, in part, by both Bloomberg and the Brady Campaign, this is not exactly a big shock is it? Someone should tell him to ask for Joyce Foundation money also. I mean, why leave any biased source untapped?
