    Experts shoot holes in CNN's report on school gun violence

    The shooting massacre in February at a Florida high school has unleashed a plethora of what experts say are questionable statistics that stoke confusion regarding gun violence in America.


    One recent story by CNN, for example, states that there have been 23 school shootings so far this year where someone has been hurt or killed, and 288 since 2009.


    “In the recent case by CNN, they made up their own numbers by using a very broad definition of school shooting,” David Katz, CEO of Global Security and a former special agent with the DEA, told Fox News.

    In the case of all those school shootings, Katz, who says this sort of study produces a false impression through “deceptive inclusion,” notes CNN’s report includes things such as BB guns. And it’s not necessarily the kind of gun violence that the headlines conjure up. According to Katz, the numbers include any shooting “that just happens to be on school property after hours with no real connection to the type of shootings we are all horrified at.”

    Reminds me of the scene in Remember the Titans where the coach tells a player that he had 12 brothers and sisters depending on him, another coach says "you had 12 siblings?" He replies no 8, Other coach says, Yea 12 sounds better............

    I guess CNN decided to sound better rather than tell the truth

    Do this, tell the dead, CNN has the figures wrong and they should be alive because the numbers are wrong, I'm sure they'll listen.

    What an incredibly stupid post. The dead are the dead, its the living that CNN is counting as the dead that is the issue. More kids die from bicycle accidents going from and to school but we see no outcry about banning bicycles. More kids die in auto accidents while texting but again no outcry. I guess if you got rid of bicycles that would not allow you to control the citizens as much so its not as big an issue.

    Well the forum CNN editor in chief has spoken, Honesty in reporting no longer matters. It is ok to lie to support your position, it is ok to create stats, it is ok to just make crap up to boost your ratings and push your political agenda........
