Wouldn't It Be Great if the Media Did Their Job?

I don't have a television in my home-I think I have said that many times.  I gave up on the msm after the first go around with B.O.  I get the majority of my news from the internet (thanks algore) and from other sources.   It's because of this that I am acutely aware of how often a tragedy is averted by someone who is in lawful possession of a firearm.
I cannot count how many home invasions, murders, rapes and robberies I have read about online that were stopped because someone in or near the problem had a firearm.  Almost daily someone sends me a link to a story about a woman stopping a home invasion with a gun, rifle, or shotgun.  I don't know if they have high capacity clips, but since that genius Diane Feinstein can't even tell a rifle from a shot gun from a clip, I don't worry about it too much.
But the big question that I have is- why aren't the major networks covering these stories?  I can understand why CBS,ABC,NBC,CNN, and MSNBC (  I know, I said major, and MSNBC averages what? 273 viewers) ignore the story that doesn't fuel their narrative, but what is going on with FOX News?  I used to count on them for unbiased reporting, but they seem to be spiking the stories as well.  True, I hear more from them in a day than I do the other four plus MSNBC, but they aren't covering a tenth of the stories that are being reported.  Why is that?
But FOX News aside, why won't the media simply tell me what is happening and then let me decide for myself how I feel about it?  I don't need a slant or an angle.  I was pretty sure  three days into a year of reporting that Trayvon Martin would still be alive if he had decent parents that made him accountable for his actions.  George Zimmerman is still going through a living hell because Martin's parents were too busy doing who knows what to parent their child.
The media started with that ridiculously misleading picture of an adorable urchin when in fact Martin was a hulking behemoth felony waiting to happen.The msm didn't tell me about his robbery tools or his marijuana problems.  They did feel the need to dig up any person within the last fifteen years who may have had something bad to say about George Zimmerman.  They also felt the need to edit the news by lying about what was said in 911 calls.
Fast forward a year and you see the same bunch of propagandists trying to tell me that there was heckling in Newtown, Connecticut press conference.  Don't get me started on the coverage that they have given  Tea Party demonstrations.  I am still waiting for someone to claim the reward by producing the footage of a Tea Party Member using a racial slur toward a Congressman.  Considering that there were over fourteen cameras running at the time, you would think that someone could have dug the information up and pocketed one hundred thousand dollars by now.
But the msm isn't doing their jobs.  They are mostly so left of center as to be Government sponsored propagandists.  Look all over for your information, and don't trust any of it one hundred percent.  You'll thank me later.
