Harrisburg Patriot News - Actively Pushing Anti - Gun / Anti - Second Amendment
Over the past several years, it would appear to me that the Harrisburg Patriot News has turned vehemently anti-gun. Their editorial board has now taken a very pro-active position to drive their agenda, led by John Micek, Editorial and Opinions editor for Patriot News and PennLive (their online content).
The most recent example of their activism can be found here:

The reason for my post is this: It seems that an organization that owes it existence to the First Amendment should not be in the business of destroying the Second Amendment. But, the Patriot News is a business that should not be supported by those that it is attacking. I have canceled my subscription and am urging all gun owners that subscribe to do the same. Would love to see a viral campaign urging all gun owners to withdraw their subscription support , along with withdrawing support of businesses that advertise in this paper.
Thoughts on how to get this rolling?Last edited by PaGrouser; December 5th, 2015 at 09:30 PM. Reason: typo

Well, lets call their game. Pass your gun confiscation laws, put your money where your mouth is. Step up and do what you think you have to do. We'll also do what we think we'll need to do. It's time to put up or shut up.

Yinzburgh Post-Gazette has been like that for years. And been years since we bought a paper.
Don't even browse their website so they can't accumulate "hits" either. Fuck them.
The 4th estate thinks they are coated in teflon. Not so. Wait'll the next despot takes over in the WhiteHouse and decides they don't like what they hear and read - and EO's restrictions on them.All of my guns are lubed with BACON GREASE.

Everyone is attacking the paper. This will not have as much impact as attacking the advertisers. Call the advertisers an tell them you will not buy their product or service. As always follow the money.

This is the result of who influences journalism schools ans whatever else taught these people how to think.

Call, write, and/or email the advertisers to let them know this will not be tolerated.
