    Who fucking cares? So what....she's ambitious, she had a pretty fucking remarkable career at CNN followed by an great entrepreneurial story of growing a business. Now she wants to organize people to fight violence in schools. Why is that a bad thing? Why is conspiratorial that she wants to do something in her own neck of the woods to try and head off a similar incident of school violence? Why is it "remarkable" that she was able to find 7800 people in a city the size of Atlanta who agree with her? Do you have any idea how quickly things trend online, especially in the wake of a tragedy like this? Evidently not.

    NC the point is that none of her professional past was mentioned. It is that experience she was able to use so effectively.
    The media made it look like she was a stay at home soccer mom who just created things out of whole cloth. In fact she had knowledge tool and likely a political position that was anti gun.
    Failure to present the whole story slanted it and hid facts that are germane. That’s propaganda not reporting

    Once of my favorite priest once stated he was 100% for keeping religion out of schools, because he wanted to teach his children about religion, Christianity, and God. He did not want to entrust that vital role to just anyone.

    Exactly. Imagine a pro-gun activist organizing a national march who had say, just 5 years as a producer at Fox....anyone think that fact would be left out?

    And then there's this...
    "Colton Haab, a Junior ROTC student and survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla. last week, said he going to participate in the CNN town hall Wednesday night, but decided not to when he said the network provided him with a list of “scripted questions.”

    "I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinions on my questions," Haab said told a local ABC affiliate, WPLG-TV. "CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions, and it ended up being all scripted."

    CNN responded..."There is absolutely no truth to this." So other people can't question Hogg but CNN can call this kid a liar? Donna Brazile initially said she never gave debate questions to Hillary so we know CNN is on the up and up.

    Thank you @tirk.

    Wow @Tiger in NC - you seem to be a very angry individual. As I have told others in here, you can make a point and be listened to with less venom in it.

    It doesn't work. Pretty sure he is over compensating for a "short" fall somewhere else in his life.

    Teach him a lesson he will never forget. Unfriend him on Facebook and unfollow him on Twitter.

    Watch Gonzalez completely disrespect Dana Loesch and read her likely CNN-provided question. I really don't understand the need for notes. If one is truly convicted, educated, and honest....speak from the heart.

    You fucking think?
