2. On one of her programs, Rachel Maddow was talking
Edited on Fri Dec-02-11 11:04 AM by Simo 1939_1940
with a rather inarticulate Tea Partier regarding President Obama's "threat" to gun owners. A young man walked up and joined the conversation, and made a statement that made Rachel quite uncomfortable. Quoting from memory, he said something along the lines of "Just google Obama + gun control." Why do I claim that this made Rachel uncomfortable? Her body language, for one, and the fact that when the clip ran again on a subsequent program, the appearance of the young man was edited out.

Then of course on 1/11/11 - the day of Ms. Maddow's dishonest rant following the Tucson shooting - she made the assinine assertion that all of the information on the internet regarding gun control was biased, and discouraged her viewers from attempting to research the issue on the web. So Rachel - if all of the information on gun control on the internet is biased, which of the following two reasons would explain this phenomenon?

1) Pro-control proponents are remaining silent on the issue, or.......
2) Pro-RKBA proponents have a super-duper internet eraser and are scrubbing the "truth" from the web?

Rachel, of course, didn't want her viewers to stumble across information like this:
