Channel 4
The KTVX Channel 4 station here in SLC has a LONG history of being anti-paintball.

They have re-aired national stories about paintball injuries, and their spin has consistantly been "Paintball is EVIL" even when the story could have been presented in a different way.

They have shown or created anti-paintball stories when NO other local station found the stories Newsworthy.

Historically FOX 13 and KUTV 2 have been more positive towards the sport of paintball and KSL was generally mute.

Personally I suspect someone at KTVX Channel 4 is either a uber-liberal (hates guns) or just a paintball hater. Either way they have tried to show paintball is EVIL in any light they can.

IMHO,

..
