Sowell: News Versus Propaganda

 Probably the smartest comment on the Colorado shootings that I have seen so far.

"The real problem, both in discussions of mass shootings and in discussions of gun control, is that too many people are too committed to a vision to allow mere facts to interfere with their beliefs, and the sense of superiority that those beliefs give them."

"Any discussion of facts is futile when directed at such people. All anyone can do is warn others about the propaganda."
