Alright, i figured it wouldn't hurt to cast out and see if anyone knew of some good examples of how the press slants the news so that it seems more extreme and captures the audience...at the expense of truth and credibility.  I'm just looking for news articles accessible online that talk about assualt weapons...both bad AND good articles...if there are any, lol.   i wanted to make a strong, well rounded argument since my english professor is a yuppy anti-gun kinda guy. thanks in advance to anyone who goes to the trouble to help!

I don't know if you will be able to find it but there was a CNN broadcast about the AWB sunsetting about a year ago that showed people firing full auto weapons and implied that was what the ban related to. They had to broadcast a correction after people gave them a lot of shit for it.

Ah, the memories of college. Don't worry, you will learn from this and start your next paper at least TWO days before it is due.

I'm hurt, Sgatr15...totally respected your posts and general opinions so far.  In my defense, I'm paying my own way through college and, about this topic, this is only a rough draft for sources only.  I figured some of the ARFCOMers may have seen more news and reports than i have and wouldn't mind pointing me in the direction of those articles.  I'm not asking anyone to do much of any work, really.  Sorry for the misterpretation, i was just trying to broaden my resources so that i don't seem like an idiot extremist who is gung-ho about guns.   to anyone else who reads this: sorry for asking of you what i should myself do.  although my topic title implies procrastination and hurriedness, i'm in no such state.  thanks
