Wapo says gun control really doesn't work?

If you are in charge of a newspaper, the number one thing you look at is profits.

Not editorial fairness.
Not politically favoring cheap politicians.

Profits.

When you are interested in profits, you write or say what the people want to hear at the time.  Ron Paul didn't give a flip about profits or popularity so he just said what he knows is right.  But newspapers change with the tide and it is one of my long standing predictions that liberal media is going to first become more centrist and then lean right.

Not because they believe in it but because in order to make profits they HAVE to tell the herd what it wants to hear.  And the herd wants to hear more and more conservative things.  That is why we are now seeing articles like this one from WaPo which labeled a gun control nut a "three Pinocchio nose" liar.

Again, if a media outlet wants to lean liberal, all it has to do is not report on conservative things.  And WaPo is well known for only reporting on liberal things (or reporting conservative dirt).  So why now?  Why does the WaPo article not only call the gun control nut a liar, but also reminds people that it called him a liar previously as well?

Clearly WaPo is trying to appear more centrist and fact based in its views.  TRUST ME, WaPo and most other media don't care about truth, they care about advertising dollars and if they have to change their mix of reporting and the tone of their reports in order to draw more ad revenue, well that is just what they will do.

All this time WaPo has been unfairly labeled a liberal whore when the truth is that they are a money whore.
