There is no bias in the media

Keep your blood pressure medicine handy as you read this. USA Today doesn't want to hear about defensive gun use. They made up details to avoid reporting about it in a story.

But then they have no problem with the following headline:

Coker tells Miami players no guns allowed:

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/acc/2006-07-25-coker_x.htm

Given the following quote from the article:

"Brandon Meriweather, the Hurricanes' leading tackler last season, returned gunfire. Police said Meriweather used his gun legally because he has a permit for the gun."

I think I would have written a very different headline. Something like "Hurricane's leading tackler defends teammate with legally owned firearm".
