Dear Editor,
Newscasters and reporters are falling all over themselves trying to out-praise the now deceased Peter Jennings. They're next, so I suppose it's only natural, but it hides something important.
Jennings was one of the prime actors in the greatest news suppression and anti-rights campaigns ever waged. Yes, it's the anti-gun-rights, hide-everything-positive-about-guns media campaign that rushes on unabated to this day.
Listen up folks -- because Jennings and his media comrades refuse to tell you -- guns are good, guns save lives, guns stop crime, and guns are why America is still free. What, you haven't seen that in the news, ever? You're a witness to this simple truth.
Most news people I meet cannot even name ten story ideas that portray the wholesome and wonderful side of firearms or the great two-century American tradition of the right to keep and bear arms.
Huge numbers of Americans own guns, enjoy guns, and know this is true. Many are alive today because guns are good. But Jennings spent decades hiding it, lying about it, suppressing the side he and his "J-school" accomplices hate -- the free, individually responsible, armed adult citizen. It's not good to hate.
How bad is it? Thirteen scholarly studies confirm 2-1/2 million defensive gun uses annually. In 2001, Jennings, with his corrupt corps of "news" leaders at the other two networks, aired 190,000 words about gun crime, and zero words about defensive gun use. Zero. It's just as bad in print (I have the numbers if you care to see, posted at gunlaws.com). That's not a measurement upon which to heap praise.

-- ABC's World News Tonight. Peter Jennings: Good evening, everyone. The Justice Department told the White House last night, and the country learned about it this morning. There is a full-scale criminal investigation under way in Washington into who leaked a CIA officer's name to the press. The officer is married to a former ambassador who criticized the Bush administration's justification for going to war in Iraq. Publicizing the name of a CIA operative has been illegal since 1982. Today the focus, and some pressure, is on the White House. A newspaper columnist cited two unidentified senior administration officials as the source of the leak. The President said today that he thinks the investigation is a good thing, and he said so publicly. Here's ABC's Terry Moran.
Late in his story, Moran noted: One crucial question in that investigation: Did the person who leaked the information about Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, shown here at a 1999 state dinner, know that she worked undercover for the CIA?
Jeffrey Smith, former CIA General Counsel: They have to prove that the person who leaked it did it knowing that this person was undercover.
Moran: Republicans have begun to rally to the defense of the White House and attack the man whose wife was targeted by the leak.
Ed Gillespie, Chairman, Republican National Committee: Ambassador Wilson has made some allegations and had to back off them. He is someone who is himself a pretty partisan Democrat.
Moran concluded from the White House: And indeed, Ambassador Wilson will make an appearance with the House Democratic Caucus tomorrow. Even as the investigation just gets under way, Peter, the politics here are really heating up.
-- CBS Evening News. Dan Rather's opening teaser: "Tonight: Investigating the leak. The Bush White House under increasing fire for how it's handling charges that it blew the cover of a CIA operative. As jobs disappear, millions more Americans lose their health insurance."
Rather led the program: "Good evening. President Bush and his aides stepped up their defense and efforts at damage control today in the case of who blew the cover of an undercover CIA operative. The Justice Department now says it has launched what it calls a full criminal investigation into who leaked the name and why. CBS's John Roberts reports tonight how the President responded to allegations that the leak did come from a White House insider and how the President tried to deflect calls for an independent investigation."
Roberts raised a discredited charge against Rove which Wilson has already taken back: "It was former Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife, seen here at a 1999 state dinner, who was the focus of the leak. Retribution, Wilson says, for his proving wrong President Bush's State of the Union claim about Iraq and uranium. So convinced was Wilson that White House political director Karl Rove was behind it, that he said this in public:"
Joe Wilson, former Acting Ambassador to Iraq, at a Seattle forum in August held by a Democratic Congressman: "At the end of the day, it's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs."
Roberts: "White House officials say there is no truth to the charge, and Wilson has since dialed back on those comments, a fact Republicans pounced on today."
Ed Gillespie, RNC Chairman: "He is not an objective foreign service officer. He is a Clinton appointee who is a partisan Democrat who is maxed out as a contributor to John Kerry's presidential campaign."
Roberts: "It should also be pointed out, though, that Wilson contributed the maximum to President Bush's primary campaign and worked in the Foreign Service Center under both President Reagan and President Bush. And, Dan, late today, the Justice Department sent over this letter to the White House telling it to preserve all records and correspondence dealing with Joe Wilson's trip to Niger, any contacts about that trip with the press, and any contacts with three reporters specifically."
-- NBC Nightly News. Tom Brokaw teased: The leak: Who revealed the name of a CIA operative? The FBI opens a criminal investigation. The President wants to know if the leak came from the White House.
Brokaw led his broadcast: Good evening. Shortly before 9 this morning, White House staff members read on their computer screens: 'Please read. Important message. It was their official notification that the FBI now is conducting a criminal investigation into who leaked the name of a CIA undercover operative to a journalist. The operative is the wife of Joseph Wilson, a former ambassador who, at the request of the CIA, investigated claims that Saddam Hussein tried to buy enriched uranium in Niger, claims used by President Bush in the runup to the war with Iraq. Wilson determined that the uranium story was not true, and then his wife's identity was published by a prominent journalist, citing administration sources. It is now a Washington firestorm. We begin with NBC's David Gregory who's traveling with the President.
-- CNN's NewsNight. White House reporter John King observed: The White House, though, is borrowing a page from Bill Clinton's playbook. This White House is saying it is Ambassador Wilson, not the Bush White House that is engaged in partisan politics and many here at the White House think Ambassador Wilson is playing into their hands. He has given a number of speeches at Democratic events. Tomorrow he is giving, going to Capitol Hill to meet with Democrats and to come out for a news conference with the Democrats. The White House thinks that helps them say this is all politics and when the American people think something is all politics they tend not to pay close attention.
Anchor Aaron Brown was befuddled: What does Ambassador Wilson's politics have to do with either the leak or his wife's job?
