[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC on Thursday exploited the mass shooting in California as a way to tout the gun control advocacy of celebrities and politicians. Good Morning America reporter Jon Karl highlighted Barack Obama’s “frustration” at the inability to pass new restrictions. Correspondent Michael Strahan read tweets from “actor and gun control activist” Amy Schumer, including this one: “It doesn't have to be this way. Join the movement and help us. #Endgunviolence." In the 8am hour, co-host Robin Roberts talked to psychiatrist Dr. Janet Taylor. She lectured that America “has to understand that gun control is important.”
