How to Sell Camel Dung

The NRA's playbook on mass shootings came to light during the course of a three-year undercover sting by Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit.

"Investigative Unit ... undercover reporter ... infiltrated..."

Oooh! Professional!

And what did their "sting" actually reveal, aside from the Captain Obvious fact that professional PR teams have strategies and talking points that are fine-tuned based on effectiveness and exposing the weaknesses of the other side?

I'd be more interested in why Islamic propagandists financed by an Emir are so interested in disarming Americans, and what would happen if a U.S. journalist published reports in Qatar designed to turn citizens against their traditions and beliefs.
