The Cat Box Media Strikes Again

From the Bloomington, IN Herald-Times
Permits spiked in the months around the election of Barack Obama as president, prompting gun dealers to refer to “the Obama factor.” This shows a troubling distrust — paranoia? — about the new administration. Our research doesn’t say whether it’s just political or political and racial, but we have our suspicions.

Does the Herald-Times editorial board really believe that anyone who disagrees with the President is automatically a racist? Or is this just their pre-emptive way of discrediting any opposition to the leader they've chosen for us?

Are their incessant attacks on law abiding gun owners pure mindless reflex, based on their ingrained hateful prejudices? Or are they deliberately engaging in a propagandistic campaign to discredit the most demonstrably lawful sub-segment of the population?

I can't read minds to know the intentions behind the Herald-Times' sleazy, propagandistic brand of "journalism," but I have my suspicions.

One of the last of a dying breed. The cat box media is going the way of the dinosaur. And these guys aren't making me feel too mournful about that.
