ABC - Lying About Guns?
I've always been skeptical of Brian Ross since his 1993 involvement in Dateline NBC's investigative report about General Motors pickup trucks, for which many records have since been purged...
I found this post at Confederate Yankee, who is obviously no fan of Brian Ross, who now works at ABC:
"Today, Ross and accomplice Richard Esposito continue that fine ABC News tradition of making up the news, in a story claiming that the U.S. Second Amendment is to blame for Mexico's drug cartel problems.
The deception starts with the picture at the beginning of the article.
The focus of the story, according to ABC News, is that U.S. dealers of civilian firearms are to blame for Mexico's drug cartels and their violence problems... so why do they highlight an M60 general purpose machine gun, a weapons still in use in Mexico's military, but impossible to find in the open U.S. civilian market? "
