As you know, CNN has a tendency to fake the news. It held a debate in which the Clinton campaign was fed questions ahead of time. Here's a list of their fake news for 2017 alone. Yesterday CNN held a "town hall" in which it propped up Marco Rubio and Dana Loesch to be used as leftist cannon fodder.
Wednesday's CNN town hall to promote gun control and gun grabbing was off the rails from the start. So-called moderator Jake Tapper sat back as the wild crowd targeted Republican Senator Marco Rubio (Fla.) with boos and jeers for basically just being there. The wildest moment allowed by Tapper was when Parkland, Florida student Cameron Kasky smeared the Senator by equating him to the shooter that killed 17 of his classmates. And Tapper thanked him for all of it.This was highly disrespectful and Tapper let it go on. And it turns out that the whole thing, "unexpectedly", was scripted:“I'm sorry, I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm not going to listen to that. Senator Rubio, it's hard to look at you and not look down the barrel on an AR-15 and not look at Nikolas Cruz, but the point is: You're here and there are some people who are not,” Kasky spat.
After Rubio answered his question, Kasky began to browbeat him for the money the NRA donated to his campaign, basically insinuating he was being bribed. “And this is about people who are for making a difference to save us and people who are against it and prefer money. So Senator Rubio, can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA in the future,” he demanded as the crowd went crazy.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Colton Haab said he was approached by CNN to ask a question at Wednesday night's town hall but decided not to after the network gave him a "scripted question," quashing one he wrote himself. Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC shielded students while the school was under attack from the shooter, said he was going to ask about using veterans as armed security guards.Demonizing the NRA is pure crap. The NRA is the only entity thwarting the wholesale confiscation of firearms in this country. Moreover. the NRA has a premium on safety. There are strong recommendations for gun safety and children."CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab told WPLG-TV.
I can tell you who doesn't give a rip about gun safety.
Hollywood.
In the box office hit Black Panther there are 163 shootings.
Black Panther set box office records on its way to becoming “a watershed in cultural history of African Americans,” wrote The Miami Herald’s Leonard Pitts Jr. Yet, the movie was typical Hollywood – filled with violence, including 163 shootings, while Marvel stars call for gun control.Hollywood producers whine about guns but fill the eyes of the vulnerable young with glorified gun violence:Lupita Nyong’o, who played Black Panther’s love interest Nakia, advocated for gun control in the wake of the Orlando shooting. The actress posted a long message on Instagram, saying “most importantly, we simply need to put down the guns!” Other Marvel Avengers have weighed in as well. Captain America’s Chris Evans has called for “common sense gun reform.” And the Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo, has criticized conservatives for giving thoughts and prayers, and not actively pushing gun reform.
The Media Research Center analyzed the top five movies in theaters the week before Stephen Paddock killed 58 people and injured hundreds more in a shooting spree on a country music festival. They found that the movies were riddled with violence and that the three out of five movies researched featured automatic weapons.Kingsmen: Golden Circle, American Assassin, Mother, IT, and The Lego Ninjago Movie all featured violence, but the MRC removed The Lego Movie from their final tally because its violence was animated.
From the four remaining movies, MRC counted 589 incidents of violence, including 212 incidents of gun violence. The body count total reached at least 192 people. They also counted 108 times characters in the movies used automatic weapons.
Rather than looking inward after Paddock shot up the Vegas Strip, Hollywood’s elite decided to attack the National Rifle Association.
Have you seen either John Wick movie? Natural Born Killers? Django?
Rambo (2008)?

Who’s that gonna stop????

It isn’t meant to stop anyone. It’s meant to expose the hypocrisy of Hollywood.
OUCH, turning the tables on the hypocrites
...oh wait
...never mind.
Say what? Me promote guns?
Whoa... there.. I'm totally against guns. Really!
Like dude... I would never be for guns.
Excellent points.
Insanity level of hypocrisy.
Go ahead Hollywood... Make my day!
With you on the last two, but the star of John Wick, Keanu Reeves, is a proponent of the 2nd Amendment and participates in 3-gun shoots.
The daily exposure to violence has desensitized a nation. Case in point, kids that whip out their phone to videotape fights, violence, sexual acts, shootings etc. as opposed to physically or emotionally reacting to the situation.
By the way, look around, do you see any millennials NOT staring at their phones, totally oblivious to their surroundings?
Social media harvests anti-social behavior, add that to the list of hypocrisies.
“Shooting Survivor: CNN Gave Me “Scripted Question” After Denying Question About Armed Guards”
CNN aired a town hall on the Florida school shooting with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) that included NRA’s Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel that was moderated by Jake Tapper. Students and parents asked questions about gun control and school safety.
“I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions,” Haab said.
“Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC who shielded classmates in the midst of terror says he did not get to share his experience,” WPLG’s Janine Stanwood explained.
“Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead so he decided not to go,” Stanwood reported.
Disney now owns Marvel comics.
Marvel Comic movies are nothing but gun-porn....Perhaps it is time to call Disney/Marvel on the carpet, start suing them, etc.
