There are maybe two reporters we trust to report on guns: Emily Miller and Stephen Gutowski, and here’s where Gutowski stands this evening:
I could literally sit here all day and correct inaccurate media reports about 3D printed guns. All day.
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) July 31, 2018
We’re hoping Gutowski is available all night tonight and all day tomorrow as well, because CNN was talking 3D-printed guns Tuesday evening, and the expert guest was Parkland anti-gun activist David Hogg — the one Brian Stelter admitted he allowed to play with the facts: “There were a few times I wanted to jump in and say, ‘Let’s correct that fact.’ And at one of the times I did and other times I did not,” Stelter admitted.
But Tuesday evening’s sit-down was with fellow gun expert Anderson Cooper on Cooper’s Facebook Watch show, “Full Circle”:

And what is David Hogg’s expertise or background on 3D printed guns? Or is CNN going for the “we don’t need facts we need a narrative” route?

Ask him if the read the full Wikipedia page or just the summary. https://t.co/Tm4cXsUgq9

Cooper: 'So David, do you think people printing their own guns is good or bad?'
David: 'Bad.'
Cooper: 'Well there you have it.' https://t.co/WaBQzUwvL7

You’ve got to be kidding me…??♀️ This interview will spread more misinformation, and fuel more unnecessary fear, it seems this is what CNN wants. David Hogg isn’t an expert, in fact he’s shown he’s very ignorant on #2A ,weapons, & ammo since spring 2018. #copolitics #NRA https://t.co/YT5qPDNTfE

Here is the problem: @andersoncooper invites someone on the show who likely has no idea how guns are made; how 3D guns are regulated; and the business around this…
…and then expects to be respected as a journalist? Why, exactly, should we do that? https://t.co/wYxq7WYGMI

@CNN this is exactly why you dont get respect. You moan and bitch about a lack of respect for journalism but then you bring in this proven liar and propagandist. Instead of an actual expert on gun laws. You deserve the fake news moniker with stunts like this
