NFOA on Channel 7 Omaha

I would suggest that as many people as possible compose a thoughtful response to the author's failure to challenge the blatantly false statement made by NAGV concerning the majority of Nebraska CCWer's are drunks and alcoholics.

Here is my response to the story as submitted on Channel 7's contact page;
As a firearms owner, instructor and concealed carry permit holder I am offended by Andrew Ozaki's failure to challenge the veracity of a statement by NGV representative Amanda Gaily;
“I believe it is foolish to invite a class of people who are statistically more likely to abuse alcohol to carry guns into bars and to anticipate some of them will not drink while doing so,” said Amanda Gailey of Nebraskans Against Gun Violence.
To insinuate that most gun owners are drunks is one thing. For a supposed reporter to print such slander unchallenged is totally unprofessional. For a news station to broadcast the same is a disservice to the integrity of the First Amendment.

My comment (similar to Gunscribe's):
As a firearm owner, hunter safety instructor and concealed carry permit holder, I am offended by Andrew Ozaki's failure to challenge the legitimacy of a statement by Nebraskans Against Gun Violence representative, Amanda Gaily.
Ms. Gaily said, “I believe it is foolish to invite a class of people who are statistically more likely to abuse alcohol to carry guns into bars and to anticipate some of them will not drink while doing so.”
For Ms. Gaily to insinuate that most gun owners are drunks is one thing. For a "professional" reporter and news organization to put such drivel on the air and in print is downright slanderous.
Please retract this portion of your story and publish an apology to Nebraska's law-abiding gun owners.

This sort of blatant propaganda disguised as news reporting is why the dinosaur media are slowly dying, and it's why there are so many low and false information voters. I'd think it might be better to contact their advertisers, and let them know that we aren't going to do business with those who support liars with their advertising dollars. A copy of letters sent to advertisers might be sent to the propaganda station. This won't do any good though unless there can be a lot of letters; a few will only amuse them.
Gunscribe:
Contacting advertisers is a good second step if there is no response to direct contact with the media source. Give them a chance to respond and then up the ante if they double down.
