I'm not concerned with most of the people here hearing(reading)this drivel, with few exceptions, we know better. I'm concerned with the regular people that don't know better and believe such crap as Geraldo saying last night that anyone on the Terrorist Watch List can walk into a gunstore and buy a machine gun without having to wait. Bill O'Reilly and Eric Bowling(?) both let him get by w/o challenge. Now those that don't know better, think he is correct.


I have been told that O'Reilly has been notified by literally hundreds of viewers(Facebook, Twitter, Emails etc.) that Rivera is full of crap regarding buying machine guns. Will there be a retraction or correction tonight? To me doubtful as the same thing happened after the Conn. shootings when O'Reilly stated on his show that anyone could walk into a gun show and buy a Bazooka or a machine gun. TO THE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE HE NEVER PUBLICLY RETRACTED THIS FALSHOOD. If he really wants "fair and balanced" reporting IMO they would have a firearms expert sitting there and monitoring what some of these people are saying and correct them when they are wrong at least for the time being. I know: That's probably asking for way too much!
