CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point

PARKLAND STUDENT TO RUBIO: IT’S HARD TO LOOK AT YOU AND NOT SEE YOU FIRING THAT AR-15 AT MY CLASSMATES.

 

“A lefty friend conceded to me that it was vicious and unfair, and doesn’t represent how most liberals feel about gun-rights supporters. Doesn’t it?

 

Does anyone there seem perturbed by it?… Tapper could have said something in the name of keeping the event civil. Bill Nelson, who praised Rubio for showing up to face what everyone knew would be a hostile audience, didn’t say anything. On the contrary, Dana Loesch was heckled once or twice by the crowd with cries of ‘murderer’ when she came out to speak.”

CNN’s town-hall format — often maligned for feeling like canned or manufactured for TV – came alive Wednesday night as parents and survivors of last week’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, produced two hours of riveting, emotional television that may actually have moved the nation’s dialogue on guns.

It seemed to mark a breakthrough for the network, which has struggled to present itself an independent arbiter of moments of national crisis, while competitors Fox and MSNBC achieved greater ratings growth by pushing more hours of opinion-host programming.

CNN’s Shameful Town Hall Is A Clarifying Moment On Guns

 

FTA:

Whatever the case, these young people are about to be hit by a harsh reality, because banning semiautomatic rifles or handguns is not only impractical (there are probably over 5 million AR-15s in circulation alone; and semiautomatics constitute the majority of modern guns) and not only likely unconstitutional (the Supreme Court has found that weapons “in common use by law-abiding citizens” are protected) but, for many millions of Americans who worry about the Second Amendment, also highly undesirable.

 

Yet a star-studded line-up of liberals, many of whom are funding the activism of Parkland students with big checks, cheered with them. Do they all agree that every semiautomatic rifle in America should be banned? Do they agree that anyone who supports legal semiautomatic rifles has “blood on their hands?” Someone with access should ask.

 

What we do know is that the entire liberal political class couldn’t stop praising the activism and lack of “cynicism” displayed by these kids (a selective admiration reserved for those who coincidentally align with their positions.) The kids were indeed earnest, even if they were generally uneducated about gun laws, legal process, and the underpinning of the Second Amendment — which is to be expected. Those who use them as political shields, on the other hand, are cynical. Those who put them on TV to participate in a national Airing of Grievances are cynical. Those who point to bodies of victims and argue that every American who refuses to accept the Left’s framing of the issue are the ones that deserve contempt.

 

What we’ve learned from the events of the past few days is that most liberals are uninterested in a holistic answer to school shootings — a unique problem detached from general violent crime, rates of gun ownership, region or age. While there is no cure-all, a mix of improved background checks, a better reporting system, better law enforcement reaction to threats, more community involvement, and mental health reform could lower the number of shootings. Pulling back from the massive wall-to-wall coverage, which probably helps glorify these shooters for the next madman, might also help.

 

Yet as far as I can tell, banning or inhibiting gun ownership seems to be the only answer for the Left.

 

For instance, while we can never truly quantify how many shooters are dissuaded by new laws or restrictions, we do know some mass shooters can be stopped by armed Americans. It happens all the time. Why shouldn’t teachers and others who have a constitutional right to protect their homes and families do the same for their students? The dismissive, sneering reaction to that idea by most of the media and Democrats was telling. Now, I understand some Americans don’t want to send their kids to schools with armed teachers. That should be their choice. But the idea that a trained concealed-carrier or guard couldn’t possibly stop or mitigate the damage done by a mass shooter defies reality.

 

So a real divide exists in America. Not between those who want to “do something” and those who don’t, but between those who believe there is a natural right to own and defend oneself with a weapon — preferably a semiautomatic weapon — and those who do not. The latter position seemed to be prevalent among the young people at the town hall, and certainly among their cheering section. While I feel great sorrow for these kids, and worry about my own, I have no moral duty to be on their side politically.

 

More immediately, events like the CNN’s town hall go a long way in convincing gun owners that gun control advocates do have a desire to confiscate their weapons. They can’t confiscate weapons right now, so they support whatever feasible incremental steps are available to inch further toward that goal. We don’t know how this plays out in the long run. In the short run, though, it does nothing to stop the next school shooting.

CNN Failed to disclose that Jake Tapper WAS A FORMER HANDGUN CONTROL, INC. SPOKESMAN during last night's Parkland school shooting town hall.

Someone actually took the time to write that horseshit?  Someone says "failed to disclose" and all of a sudden the think they are "breaking news." !@#$ that actually looks like something CNN would do.

Apparently, it hurts Bugsy when he has to learn a new fact.

 

You should all be aware of that when addressing him..................

As we spend time here debating the gun topic, this portion of the article sums everything up perfectly.  How many times do you see this discussion?

 

Left: The 2nd Amendment is old and needs to be changed.

 

You: There is a process in place to change, so go ahead and change it.

 

Left: SHUT UP YOU POOPY HEAD!

the whole thing has to be scripted, otherwise you run the risk of people standing up for a question and asking:  "what, are you !@#$ed or something???"

So what?  Everyone's a former something.  That's less important than being able to put aside your biases and act impartial...

 

...which is something I wouldn't necessarily trust Tapper to do, though I would trust him more than most.

I wonder if CNN will have the Broward Co sheriff back on the air again tonight?  Will they allow him to answer tough questions from the kids and parents now?

SORRY, WE NEED YOUR APPLE TO BE A BANANA: FL Shooting Survivor Colton Haab: CNN Told Me I Needed To “Stick To The Script”; Entire Town Hall Scripted.

 

 

Trump’s luck is pretty amazing. The entire media sets up a week-long hatefest aimed at the NRA, culminating in that shameful fake “Town Hall,” and then the very next day it comes out that there was a police officer there who was too cowardly to do anything, and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel, who was shaming and lecturing gun owners the night before, must have known it while he was up there on stage.

 

Trump’s superpower is his ability, just by existing, to bring out the deep and pervasive rot in America’s institutions and the people who run them.

I watched it. One girl went off script and read a long thing off her cell phone. Jake looked irritated.  When she finally finished, Jake told the panelists "you don't have to answer that."
