I hate guns media bias on guns teleision Show Media Bias On Guns

This episode of CW’s’ “The Professionals” was released on August 1, 2020, and it has a standard line in so many television and movies where characters say things like: “I told you that I don’t like guns.” Unlike most shows, there is some push back on this, but the person making the claim about not liking guns has the final word on it. Brendan Fraser (who plays billionaire on the show) tells Tom Welling (who plays security expert Vincent Corbo) multiple times during the show that he doesn’t like guns because guns kill people.

CW’s The Professionals, August 1, 2020, Season 1, Episode 5. See also Episode 1.

But I do like eating beef and game, so until something better comes along I will keep this tool I take no pleasure in using. Of course I understand the need for self protection as well.
