PBS has been statist biased for it's entire existence.
I used to listen to NPR on radio, but about 30 years ago the bias became to much to bear.
I suspect at least 50% of road rage is caused by NPR. ;^)

It’s the usual lies, damn lies and statistics. When that doesn’t work they move on to “big data.”
The article gives an intentional mistaken impression. It fails to include any mention of the frequent use of guns in defense of life. The government purposely doesn’t even collect data on the number of times guns are used in self defense, often without a shot being fired, because they don’t want to know.

The article further doesn’t mention that when one type of weapon is difficult to obtain another is used. You are not going to prevent someone from committing suicide by restricting guns, they just use another method: jumping from a great height, knife, belt, shoelaces or a fist full of pills. You aren’t going to stop crime by making guns more difficult to get. England has horribly restrictive guns laws and is an island which makes it more difficult to get around the restrictions by bringing weapons into the country; this is the left’s frequent excuse for why gun laws don’t stop murders in Chicago and other leftist hellholes. There are still plenty of crimes using guns in England and when guns aren’t convenient they use knives, explosives and trucks to kill which is why PBS won’t show those statistics. Knife crimes are so bad in England they are discussing knife control. This is a further regressive policy by people who call themselves Progressives in Orwellian fashion. The Magna Carta, often considered an inspiration for our Constitutional rights and the first delineation of the rights of subjects recognized a right to be armed. Prior to this it was illegal, usually punishable by death, to own or carry a sword unless you were some lord’s knight. Soon they won’t even be allowed to carry a knife let a sword.

the totalitarian left consider themselves morally superior to the rest of us and have decided we are not deserving of the truth....

And here are some of the facts that get conflated (or ignored) in there:

1) firearm homicides in the United States are predominantly in Democrat-controlled major cities.
2) firearm homicides in the United States are predominantly in cities with extensive gun control laws on the books.
3) most firearm homicides in the United States are gang-related.
4) most firearm homicides are with a handgun - not a rifle
5) estimates are that there are 1-2 MILLION annual uses of defensive firearms to halt or prevent crime.

On a somewhat bizarre note, NPR is being blackballed and censored by the social media tech giants for publishing a report about how phony the declarations of hundreds of school shootings are. They had the unmitigated gall to actually call each of the schools cited and ask if the reports were true, and discovered that most were uninvestigated anecdotal statements that NPR found were untrue.

Five of the top six countries for firearm death rate are Spanish speaking!

Why is there no outrage?
Why is there no call to make it illegal to speak Spanish because it obviously causes people to become crazed murderers?
Make it illegal for Spanish speakers to cross the border into the US without explicit permission.
Wait, it is already illegal. Where are all these dangerous gun-wielding Spanish speakers coming from?

(note the above comments are tongue-in-cheek)

I get it. liberals and their media want to take away all guns, except those held by the government. That helps guarantee the politicians in the government will stay in power. Tried and true methods used by dictators all over the world.

Thank goodness we have the second amendment. In Canada where gun rights are not a part of their Constitution they are actively looking at outlawing handguns.

Bias is an apt description.
At least they do present the data on a per capita basis and they do call out that many, if not most, gun deaths are due to suicide.

What is left are relatively small numbers. Other issues are far more worthy of governmental attention.

And your point is with the fake news?

The US is 30th in gun related deaths.

Suicide is a totally different matter, which you should know had you paid attention.

As for PBS, it has always been biased, not "again". For them even Juan Williams was an enemy after making his remark on ME-looking travelers.
