Guests: Bernie Goldberg
After a day of watching TV news outlets cover the Orlando terrorism, FNC's Bernie Goldberg entered the No Spin Zone with his evaluation. "There was a fascinating exchange on NBC," he began. "They turned a discussion that should have been about Islamic terrorism into their favorite discussion, which is gun control. Tom Brokaw said the real problem is guns, so instead of a fresh and original discussion about why so many Muslims become psychopathic killers, we got the same old discussion about guns. If they banned every AR-15 and every other gun in the USA, ISIS would still figure out a way to kill Americans." The Factor accused many in the media of living in a land of make-believe, saying, "With hundreds of millions of guns on the street, these people are living in a theoretical world."
Returning for a second segment, Bernie Goldberg once again took aim, figuratively speaking, at the liberal media and President Obama. "I think Barack Obama sets the tone for a lot of the press," Goldberg opined, "and he is much more comfortable talking about gun control than Islamic terrorism, a term he still won't use. Reporter Mark Halperin once said that political reporters tend to cover stories the way the Obama campaign wants them to cover stories. They share the same values, which is what we're seeing now with gun control and Islamic terrorism. They're covering it the way the president talks about it."
