NRA’s Dana Loesch Destroys CNN Over New Award

NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch ripped CNN over a recent award the network won.

According to Fox News:

Nationally syndicated radio show host and National Rifle Association (NRA) spokeswoman Dana Loesch slammed the decision to honor CNN with an award for a televised town hall in which she was heckled, days after the mass shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school last year.

On Tuesday, CNN announced that it had received the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism for its “Parkland Town Hall,” held after the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High. The University of Southern California’s Norman Lear Center commended the liberal network for a “compelling and powerful forum” and praised CNN anchor Jake Tapper for offering a “generous space” for the Parkland students, politicians, and the NRA representative, adding that the town hall helped “advance the national conversation on gun control and violence.”

Loesch took issue with that assessment on Twitter, however.

Is this a joke? Seriously. https://t.co/Hj7yVCZlhf

The conservative pundit then shared several clips showing a hostile crowd booing and yelling “shame on you,” which she insisted did not “advance the conversation on gun control.”

Loesch said it was definitely an event full of bias and that is the reason why she thinks the award is a joke.
