The dominant media used to be able to present non-partisan political information. These are called facts by the viewing, reading public. This type of information is designed to present knowledge about the issues being discussed so that the receivers of this can process it into a rational decision. That is not happening any more as the media has made their bed, so to speak, with one side of each debate.
The media does not look for this type of information as it does fit in their template for their world view. All of the facts interfere with their partners in political circles, so those must be left out of news coverage. The fourth estate has decided their allegiance does not reside in the people but in the masterminds they have helped create.
There are many websites that suggest they are down the middle as far as news coverage is concerned. They want readers to believe they only have an interest in presenting balanced coverage of all aspects of each issue. There is a good way to determine whether they are, indeed, presenting facts as opposed to the fiction that is presented by the broadcast media.
Looking at a piece that purports to be balanced, identify whether there are any emotional points made that are not backed up by stable content. Check to see the level of pure bumper sticker rhetoric involved in the item. The pleas to do something, right now, is a clear indication there is something faulty with the reasoning involved.
In most of the debates about gun control issues, nonpartisan information is missing to a large degree. It is very hard to find politicians who will stand up for the second amendment and harder yet to find those willing to present anything other than there are too many guns out there. Everyone on this debate seems to have forgotten what the second amendment says about the right to keep and bear arms and not being infringed upon.
Facts concerning the gun debate are a little different, however, those pushing for gun control do not want everyone to think very hard or long about these. One fact, or non partisan information point, is that those cities with very restrictive gun rights have the highest crime rates involving guns. They also do not want to deal with facts about the vast majority of the shootings, in the news, are perpetrated by those with mental health issues.
One of the very reasons that the factual information is not found in the media is that they have their own agenda of distorting them. Their partners in legislative branches, around the country, need this cover as they grab the emotional strings of doing something now. The press wants their people to succeed and do not find it an unworthy mission to help them.
Many people would believe that the facts and non-partisan political information will come out in the political debates. They would be mislead about this as the media has their people installed as the moderators in most of these debates and coverage is one sided, as well. The participants, on both sides, will be paired off with one side and their emotion driven appeals for things people do not want against another side that might argue with them but not much.
