1. Because we need to know what they are up to.

But if it bothers you, you can turn off your tv or watch something else.

10. If the media didn't cover it

We would be asking why not. What are they helping them hide.

Damned either way

3. Why would you assume that?

The NRA is a major player in the gun violence problem, which is hardly a "distraction."

5. TV, news or not, has its income as some calculation based...

on eyeballs.

So blame the watchers for any obsession with NRA, and try to be less of one.

The NRA may be bad enough, but certain Brit publications seem to be in a tizzy over Kate wearing red nail polish. Apparently the dead queen with no power was against nail polish at all, so any woman wearing it would offend the corpse, and wearing it to the coronation would cause the gods to faint dead away.

At least we worry about school shootings and who's fucking Taylor Swift this week. You know, important stuff.

6. MSNBC was the only cable outlet that aired the DOJ news conference on the arrest of

8 people and warrants for many more in drug cartels. They have arrested 2 of the top Sinaloa Cartel leaders and have warrants for people in China and elsewhere. This is a direct fight on the fentanyl epidemic that the republicans and so many media outlets are complaining about but they refuse to air the good news that the DOJ has in fighting it. So if they want to expose the NRA more, I say go for it, because obviously CNN and Fox don't really give a shit.

7. Why do you think they shouldn't?

Right now, the NRA is having its big convention and would-be presidential candidates are coming to it to suck up to the gun owner's lobby. Do you think we don't need to know about that.

Meanwhile MSNBC is covering a number of other important stories as well. No comments on those?
