Chinese Media Pick Up on Event Ignored by U.S. Media

Leave it to the Chinese to pick up on an event that the American media has so far largely ignored. Chinaview.com noted that in New York there was a large anti-gun demonstration, just the sort of event that the biased media in the states should love to cover:

“Anti-gun activists, city leaders and victims of shootings gathered in Times Square of New York City Monday afternoon, demanding an end to gun violence as part of National Day of Outrage.”

Of course maybe the media stayed away as this event was sponsored by the notoriously outspoken Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. It is interesting that the Chinese media sees America as the wild west, especially given that in a nation where no guns are allowed in the hands of private citizens, tens of thousands have been confiscated since April!
