If you're going to slam journalists, think maybe you should use the correct form of "it's" in doing so?

Admittedly reporters get things wrong all the time, but they do it for everything ... can't tell you how many times I see a police report about someone crashing their 1995 Mercedes RD into a tree. Keep in mind, however, that often these guys report what the police tell them, or other sources.

I hate to tell you, but most people who work in media aren't out to get, well, anyone. We just want to get a paper out, which is flirting with impossible these days. Most of the bias comes from the top, and even then, half the time it's incidental. If a reporter misidentifies a gun, it's because he doesn't know anything about guns, and he's got three other assignments to get to at once. With any luck there's a copy editor rotting away somewhere at a desk in front of lousy equipment until 2 a.m. who knows a bit about guns and can catch it before it goes to press.
