The Media Research Center recently issued a report highlighting the three major news networks' slanted coverage of the Orlando terrorist attack. The Center found that ABC's, NBC's, and CBS' broadcast network programs ``flooded their shows with statements favoring gun control over gun rights by a ratio of 8 to 1.'' The Orlando attacker was a radical Islamic extremist who pledged his allegiance to ISIS before committing the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since September 11, 2001. Instead of focusing on gun control, the liberal national media should tell the American people the full story about the Orlando attacker's radical Islamic views as the cause of these killings. Not a single gun control measure in Congress would have prevented his actions. ____________________
