What Media Bias?
Les tells us that ABC has a former Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Campaign – changed their name because handgun bans aren’t cool with the kids) employee covering the NRA.
TriggerFinger notes that Amy Fisher (you remember her?) is now a columnist who favors gun control.

The ABC info is new to me but I was surprised a couple of months ago to learn that Amy Fisher had a column.

The ABC guy’s former affiliation is certainly worth watching, but is not in and of itself an indicator of bias. That’s determined solely by whether or not the NRA gets a fair shake in his reporting. It may surprise you to learn that there are people out there who can set aside personal preferences and issue a striaght, fair report. No idea whether or not this guy is one of them.

The issue, to me, is that his affiliation is not disclosed. Do you think ABC would hire an ex-NRA employee?

Huh. Me, but not thee.
