the media never does 10 seconds of research when it comes to pb

[pyromaniacs1]

I wonder if we'll get an influx of traffic? Remember when the "text a girl..." thread got on Reddit and we got all those fags coming over?

Thanks to Gator50 and the corporate media's insanity.

you know, its ironic that the original context of the post was talking about this very type of response. so before you blame me, how about you actually take 2 seconds to read the original post. then you will realize that not only pbn was ****ed, but I was ****ed by these people.

I'm pretty sure no rational person is putting any blame on you. This is ST. It's a joke.

I'm also sure you're getting some sort of hate for this all, which is why I said "rational" person. If people seriously think IE wouldn't just misquote some other shmuck if they didn't do you, then paintball should be the least of their worries.

Have you guys seen inside editions wall on Facebook and other paintball related groups on Facebook? The whole
Paintball community is asking for an apology

No, "the whole paintball community" is not asking for an apology. A couple hundred easily offended people have decided to make us all look like douchebags by posted hateful and vitriolic messages on Inside Edition's wall.

The truth is that many of us couldn't give two ****s about whether this guy played paintball, or whether IE was unfair in its reporting. It doesn't matter, and it is doubtful that this will affect paintball in a noticeable way.

agreed. like i was saying in a [unbelievably long] comment war on their page to some radical-sounding hypocrites: if we all firmly believe that Inside Edition are a bunch of hacks and not a real news organization, then what is the value of their approval?

i'll be damned if i'm gonna come crying to non-journalists for approval that they are not qualified to give. we deserve more than these national inquirer wannabe's approvals. WE know that what we do is legit, instead of barking like mangy dogs why not quiet down like wolves and keep doing what we're doing? Abraham Lincoln was an artist when it came to knowing the value of holding one's tongue. and another great president named Teddy Roosevelt said "speak softly and carry a big stick". My big stick is a first-gen PMR, i f'ing love it and i'm gonna use it regardless of what the media says.

The media hates paintball? Shocker.

[[NA]WARLORD]

I can't believe, that we as a community even got so riled up over this. One, count that as 1, news media outlet targeted paintball. Not the whole media but 1 show out of what 1000's ? If this had been mass media hysteria, then yes, fight back, but 1 measly show with a two and half minute segment is hardly enough to cry about. When IE did that paintball bashing segment on the kids video taping the drive by shootings back in 2004, that's different because people actually used paintball equipment to commit a crime, this guy used a smoke grenade which can be purchased anywhere. I say let it go, the only thing IE did was piss off a bunch of paintballers, big deal, get over it, let it die and go have some fun.
