And when they can't ignore it, we get stories like this one. Wisconsin, nation see sharp increase in gun sales during tumultuous 2020
Amid a pandemic, racial justice protests that occasionally turned violent, and increases in homicides in American cities, state and federal background-check figures suggest people in Wisconsin and throughout the United States were arming themselves in increasing numbers last year.
After that tepid statement, the spin begins.
They trot out the tired Leftist screed of "all these guns will lead to more crime!" A statement that is hard to square with the difference in gun ownership between say 1991 and 2013 and the resultant DECREASE in violence. That decreasing trend has been the aim of the Left to eliminate, and they seem to be having some sucess the past few years. But things are still not as bad as they were in 1991 or 93.
To finish the story, they have a lot of photos of deer waiting to be processed at various meat-packing plants around Madison, and some photos of the actual processing. I'm not sure why, except that it is probably calculated to upset or disgust the tender sensibilities of folks in Madison, Wisconsin, which is the state capital and home to the largest University in the state. (I least I think it is the largest.)
And that is what passes for Journalism, in 21st Century America.
