    Wow. I swear they say this crap just to miss inform the public! There’s no way anybody can be this stupid in real life.

    If'n we're going to destroy the Bill of Rights, let's do it in numerical order. That reporter should have his mouth stitched shut to keep the crap from oozing out.

    Not that it isn't fun to roast idiot reporters over their usual ignorance of a specialized topic, but, I'm going to skip that and say that the reporter is the one to make that ridiculous statement and the clip ended before the "expert" had a chance to respond. Perhaps he corrected the inaccuracy of the reporter's statement, perhaps not, but the editing of the clip makes me suspect that he did correct the reporter and whoever posted the clip didn't want us to hear that part. Otherwise, I would think you leave in the expert's comments to roast him, too.

    How is it CNN propaganda? The way the clip is posted is clearly anti-CNN. The expert might have answered the question by saying something like, no, dumb reporter, the bullets aren't any faster... and gone on to explain it properly. We don't know because the poster cut it short and put up the funny, though contextually inaccurate, Tropic Thunder graphic. If anything, it's gun enthusiast propaganda because it's completely slanted to show what an idiot the CNN reporter is. I do agree that the question was either born out of ignorance or CNN leftism, though.

    Pretty sure he meant the original news footage being propaganda

    But we didn't see the entire original news footage, we saw the edited clip. We did not see the response. If the expert would have answered with "why, yes, automatic bullets are much faster and can go through 4 people at once", I would agree with you that it is propaganda. If he would have corrected the reporter, I would call that balanced... even on CNN... Point is, we don't know because we didn't see the whole thing. I am simply saying that if you argue a point based on incomplete or biased information, especially if you have biases yourself, your argument has no teeth.
