7:00am Monday, May 17, 2010
by Gerard Valentino Ohio's establishment media has a long history of taking sides in the debate on the right to keep and bear arms. In her coverage of the Dayton area gun show anti-gun protest at Hara Arena, Kelli Wynn of The Dayton Daily News managed to take that anti-gun bias to a new level. Her fawning and overly-sympathetic coverage of the protest was a slap in the face to fair-minded Ohioans...

By Tim Inwood I've been watching with some interest the fallout over the new Arizona law dealing with illegal aliens.
