Politics Daily Also Weighs in on Gallup Poll

According to PoliticsDaily.com “Four in 10 Americans Fear Obama Will Ban Gun Sales,” which is still a far cry from the reporting by The Christian Science Monitor (see previous post). But it is interesting to see how differently the story is reported. Notice this passage:

” A majority — 52 percent — don’t believe Obama will try to ban gun sales.”

So who we do believe? It becomes more of an issue when we look at other reporting, such as that from ShortNews.com, which took the approach of the CSM:

“Most Gun Owners Think Obama Will Try to Ban Gun Sales”

Another example of how the media can put their own spin on a story, using just facts but paint a very distributing picture of gun owners. But hey, that’s why we’re here!
