The only good thing about the following blatant disregard for the truth is that it only appeared on those two networks, far from the eyes and ears of the American public.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. But who has time for facts when you’ve got airtime to fill? Why wait to find out what actually happened before fitting what little you know about it into your worldview?
Ignore facts that don’t suit your agenda. Make up facts to promote your agenda. Then wonder why nobody’s interested in your agenda.
Remember: "Gun safety" means gun control. And "common sense" means "f*** the Constitution."

Update: The NYDN couldn’t wait either. And they have even less of an excuse.
Update: Piers Morgan was screaming about it too. Watch it if you think that’s a good use of your time.
Update: Hey, guess what doesn’t matter anymore?
Yesterday:
The Wash Navy Yard shooter had 3 guns including AR-15 assault rifle – same killing machine used at Aurora and Sandy Hook.

BREAKING: CNN reporting #WashNavyYard shooter took AR-15 + rifle + Glock inside building – but did most/all of the shooting with AR-15.

PREDICTION: America will respond to this latest mass shooting by going out and buying even more AR-15s. #DeadlyCycle

Today:
Lots of confusion over exactly what guns Wash Navy Yard shooter used. But do you think it matters to the victims? #GunControlNow
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 17, 2013
Remember, this guy claims he doesn't want to get rid of ALL guns. Just the "bad ones." https://t.co/a1p8wzHuBz

@piersmorgan You contributed to that confusion. Now that you've been proven wrong you don't care.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 17, 2013
You created confusion. Do u back total gun ban? MT @piersmorgan Confusion re: guns Navy Yard shooter used. Does it matter? #GunControlNow

@piersmorgan No, but it ought to matter to a pompous blowhard who works for a NEWS NETWORK.

Update: Another MSM narrative avenue blocked.
Navy Yard shooter's friend just now on CNN: He was liberal, not a fan of Bush, bigger fan of Obama.
