MSNBC Promo Promises Fawning Coverage of Gun Control March

Displaying the liberal cable channel’s eager anticipation for Saturday’s gun control protest in Washington D.C., the March for Our Lives, on Monday, MSNBC aired a gushing ad celebrating the movement to restrict gun rights.

In promo that could just as easily have been created by the Democratic National Committee, a headline appeared on screen declaring: “There’s a movement afoot.” A soundbite followed of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student and gun control activist David Hogg proclaiming: “I don’t want something like this ever to happen again. I want us to take action.”

More headlines scrolled across and touted how the movement was “getting louder” and “growing in number.” More clips ran of student protesters. One teenage girl told a crowd: “Today we are doing more than just taking a first step.” Another demanded: “I want change and I need it now.”

“Led by a generation demanding change,” the on-screen graphic continued. A young boy at a protest was shown telling an MSNBC reporter: “I am marching for gun control.”

An announcer came on and assured viewers: “MSNBC will be on the ground in Washington for the March for Our Lives. Live coverage begins Friday and continues all day Saturday on MSNBC.”

MSNBC, like the rest of the media, is working hard to get out the left-wing base for the march.

They can fawn all they want. If a tree falls in the forest, and there’s nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?

No decent parent would allow their child to participate in this, so you will be able to identify the feral children.

NBC and all its family of companies need to reject any and all forms of entertainment that glorify guns in any way, shape or form.....No more movies or television shows depicting guns, period......think they will?

Somewhere between 10 to 30 degrees. The tenets of the NSDAP are easy enough. Hitler was the gun grabber.

These schoolkids are missing the fact that almost all the school shootings are done by their classmates or disgruntled expelled ex-classmates. They would best serve themselves to demonstrate for some student and school control. Metal detectors you think would have flagged both shooters entering the buildings at the Florida and Maryland schools. Late teen years are the notoriously most rebellious years and the lack of parental/school control of these so called ‘children’ is so apparent in these student on student shootings. Students are their own worst enemies.
