At least that was an interesting story. Who would be dumb enough to bring a BAG of weapons to a theatre? Like that isn't going to attract attention.

Dude walks into a place with 20 chicken sandwiches and a fucking gun... sounds interesting to me, hell just from a 'sounds like a bad joke' side of things...

I thought Chick-a-fil was a dead end story at this point since gay folks were more interested in good chicken sandwiches than another old straight dude complaining about gay people.

I have to admit that the 20 sandwiches thing has got my interest.
How can you run on that angle in the news cycle?
Is there a sandwich to gun ratio guideline out there?

I think the reason why the guy with the guns and knives story received more coverage was because it tied into that little story about the guy killing a bunch of people in a theater.

Just a guess though..

In other words, the "mythical liberal media bias" is not so much mythical, just economical?

I don't watch TV news. Hell I am surprised basic channels even have anything besides local news anymore.

Sorry it was 15 sandwiches...

Why do you think Fox News is run the way it is? TV News panders to the people that pay their bills.
