NBC News has sent private security personnel to the increasingly dicey Gulf Coast region to help keep its employees safe while covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The private security officers, usually former soldiers or police, are licensed to carry firearms and are trained to keep the situation under control so that journalists can do their jobs safely.
Wait a minute...isn't NBC one of those "Publication and Media Outlets" listed as anti-gun on NRA's website?
And they've operated under the protection of armed guards before? And so have their competitors?
It seems when it comes to protecting their own elitist hindquarters, the Establishment media isn't really that anti-gun after all.
