CNN Gives Platform to Guest Trashing NRA as 'Murderous and Treasonous'

On her Wednesday CNN Newsroom program, the network’s Carol Costello gave  an anti-gun rights activist a platform to defend his crass exploitation of a recent fatal shooting spree to smear the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, the National Rifle Association.

Costello introduced self-styled “progressive PR guy” [link to his Twitter account] Cliff Schecter by quoting from his most recent Daily Beast piece, where he called out the “treasonous and murderous role played by the leaders of the NRA.”
