  There is no way that (MS)NBC is going to show firearms in a positive light.
  
  I was amazed two years ago when they showed the biathelon on prime time winter olympics.

  I'm still mad at that NBC goofball Bob Costas for the cracks he made toward the men's pellet gun competitors a few years ago. He showed complete disrespect and lack of understanding toward the skill level required because the shooters were taking a slow, measured approach and using portions of discarded popcorn containers tucked into their glasses to block their peripheral vision.
  
  I haven't liked the little twerp since.
