The AZ daily RED star, is our morning liberal fishwrap. always backs dems and liberal candidates and is our "social justice paper"
I cant find this article...404, I dont get this paper so does anyone have the text ??
It must be a guest columnist or a mistake cause this rag always bashes guns and gun rights.

It looks like they have archived it, and it is no longer available for free.  Sorry about that.

Ok, it looks like this article is now available:

Some very good suggestions for contacting the media.

BTW, who is interested in forming a club to write to media persons and give them gentle suggestions and corrections on their gun-related reporting?

As Butkus wrote, the "Red" Star is our liberal morning newspaper.  Regardless of their policy "review" the newspaper still will not accept private party classified ads for firearms, and I have yet to see a single newspaper sport section report on any shooting competition.  

Are the reporters
Developing a formal course in firearm basics. Crime and court reporters, photographers, copy editors, team leaders and others in the newsroom who wish to participate will get a hands-on introduction to firearms, proper terminology and major laws involving guns.

?  I see no evidence.

How about
Analyzing content to identify bias. We are undertaking an in-depth review of hundreds of articles published in the past three years that mention firearms, with a view toward identifying bias and finding ways to prevent it in the future.

Ditto - no evidence to date.

Just like politicians:  apparently all talk, no action.  It's better to APPEAR to be doing something than actually doing it.

I'm sure that the Arizona Daily Star won't miss my money.

Can a zebra change its stripes?  They are like the politicians that change their political opinions based on the political wind.
