Here's something network news overlooks, all too often...

I find it more than a little interesting on how one seldom, if ever, sees this kind story make national news.

Here's the story's text if you can't get to the link to work, or, they take it down:

LOGANVILLE, Ga. — A woman hiding in her attic with children shot an intruder multiple times before fleeing to safety Friday. The incident happened at a home on Henderson Ridge Lane in Loganville around 1 p.m. The woman was working in an upstairs office when she spotted a strange man outside a window, according to Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman. He said she took her 9-year-old twins to a crawlspace before the man broke in using a crowbar. But the man eventually found the family. "The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he's staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver," Chapman told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh. The woman then shot him five times, but he survived, Chapman said. He said the woman ran out of bullets but threatened to shoot the intruder if he moved. "She's standing over him, and she realizes she's fired all six rounds. And the guy's telling her to quit shooting," Chapman said. The woman ran to a neighbor's home with her children. The intruder attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a wooded area and collapsed in a nearby driveway, Chapman said. Deputies arrested 32-year-old Atlanta resident Paul Slater in connection with the crime. Chapman said they found him on the ground saying, "Help me. I'm close to dying." Slater was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center for treatment. Chapman said Slater was shot in the face and neck. In February, Slater was arrested on simple battery charges, according to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office. He has been arrested six other times in the county since 2008. Kavanaugh was the first reporter at the scene as deputies investigated. The victim's husband told Kavanaugh he's proud of his wife. He was on the phone with her as the intruder broke in. "My wife is a hero. She protected her kids. She did what she was supposed to do as responsible, prepared gun owner," Donnie Herman said. He said he's thankful for his family's safety. "Her life is saved, and her kids' life is saved, and that's all I'd like to say," Herman said. Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri learned from Chapman late Friday night that slater has been placed on a ventilator and suffers from punctured lungs, a punctured liver and a punctured stomach. He said if Slater survives the night, doctors will try to operate in the morning to repair the damage. Chapman said Slater has four exit wounds. Slater is currently being charged with burglary.

Why does the main stream media, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, TNT, and, the rest of them, seldom, if ever, report on this type of story, which should be shouted from the rooftops?

Decent, honest citizens, having to defend themselves from the violent thugs of this world, with a firearm.

Why is this type of story ignored by the MSM?

Doesn't fit their agenda, and, narrative, I suppose.

The American Rifleman is one magazine that reports incidents like this every month, if you want to see how the honest citizenry takes a bite out of crime. One of the precious few publications that does so, from what I can find

DOH!
Too many sub-forums on this site.
I didn't even know that sub-forum existed.

Thanks for the head's up.
