educating the press
NSSF’s long form video on AR-15s can be seen here. Says NSSF:
The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s educational campaign on modern sporting rifles has added a new long-form video (long for the Web anyway, five minutes) to accompany its 30- and 60-second messages. The campaign is designed to reach a wide audience in the hunting and target shooting community, with emphasis placed on educating sportsmen whose preference for traditional-looking firearms can lead them to misunderstand AR-15-platform rifles and to even describe them as “assault weapons,” which inadvertently lends support to elected officials and organizations who want to ban these rifles.

If they wanted to be educated, they’d have already educated themselves. It’s not as of this sort of information is difficult to come by.
Probably the best we can do is point out just how willfully ignorant journalists are, as a rule (and that message already has plenty of traction). The market will take care of them, as we see happening already. That is, until they’re “bailed out”, but even then, they can broadcast it all they want and they can distribute free newspapers, but you’ll have a hard time forcing me to watch/read their BS.
