During Monday’s Good Morning America, a computer-generated animation of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) shooting suspect Paul Ciancia was shown to be holding a military style M16 rifle, complete with a 40mm grenade launcher.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Despite pictures of the weapon<\/a> on scene showing a Smith & Wesson M&P15 sporting rifle, producers at ABC were seemingly unable to portray the correct firearms for their Monday morning report.<\/p>\n As reported by Twitchy<\/a>, viewers took to Twitter to point out ABC’s blatant misrepresentation of the facts:<\/p>\n WRONG. @GMA<\/a> @ABC<\/a> there was NO grenade launcher on #LaxShooting<\/a> rifle as you depicted in this morning’s animation. http:\/\/t.co\/K1xREHY7Is<\/a>— Todd Schnitt (@toddschnitt) November 04, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n @toddschnitt<\/a> @GMA<\/a> @ABC<\/a> lame stream media incorrectly reporting as usual— @GMA<\/a> aww man. The real pictures from the Unsurprisingly, no public statement explaining details over the inaccurate animation has been made by ABC or Good Morning America. Similar to the faulty animation, the official narrative has also begun to disintegrate<\/a>, with media talking points now contradicting eye-witness reports of a TSA employee carrying out the shooting.<\/p>\n Despite the normal knee-jerk reaction after most shootings, which always includes finding ways to restrict gun ownership among the citizenry, the media has instead began to demand that TSA agents, who quietly began training with firearms last July<\/a>, be armed at all airports<\/a>.<\/p>\n The media has also begun a campaign to demonize anyone connected to the word “patriot,” with a barrage of media outlets and political pundits linking anyone who questions such things as the federal reserve to dangerous violent extremism, due to an alleged note<\/a> discovered at the scene.<\/p>\n Just last September following the Navy Yard shooting, CNN continued to label the shooter’s weapon a “AR-15 Shotgun<\/a>,” after it was learned that the weapon was not an AR-15. Despite the weapon being a shotgun, multiple news outlets including MSNBC showed animation of Aaron Alexis holding an M16 rifle with a grenade launcher<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n The post Good Morning America Depicts LAX Gunmen With Grenade Launching M16 Rifle<\/a> appeared first on Storyleak<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
