Jake Tapper shuts down NRA’s Loesch for claiming CNN isn’t covering hero officer who confronted Maryland school shooter
NRA TV, the video propaganda arm of the National Rifle Association, received a brutal fact check by CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday.
It started with a bizarre conspiracy theory by NRA TV personality Dana Loesch, claiming that CNN and MSNBC have not covered the school resource officer who ended a school shooting at Great Mills High School.
“We won’t see any stories on CNN, on MSNBC, on any of those talking head circuits about this hero, this [Great Mills High School] armed resource officer, who did the opposite of what Scot Peterson did…what Broward Sheriff did…what [Broward Superintendent] Robert Runcie did,” Loesch claimed.
Tapper need but one word to respond to such an outlandish claim.
False. https://t.co/hRmGuein5h https://t.co/gT4NFJhrdL

‘Irony and Outrage’: How different — and how similar — are Samantha Bee and Fox News?
Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly are masters of outrage — not just the emotion, but a genre of political theater — just as Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart are masters of ironic satire. They’re poles apart, and yet — ironically or outrageously — they’re profoundly similar, both in how they’re impacting their audiences, and why their genres emerged when they did. That’s perhaps the central thesis of “Irony and Outrage: The Polarized Landscape of Rage, Fear, and Laughter in the United States,” by Dannagal Goldthwaite Young, who’s both a professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Delaware and an improv comedian with the troupe ComedySportz Philadelphia. That’s among the many different hats she wears.
