Dana Loesch Bashes CNN’s Award For BS Town Hall

By Tom Knighton

Right after Parkland, Dan Loesch did something that couldn’t have been easy. She went on a CNN town hall to provide a pro-gun voice. In the process, she was heckled, berated, and accused of being pretty much every kind of monster imaginable. Through it all, she sat there. She was a consummate pro throughout the entire ordeal.

Now, it seems that CNN has been awarded the Walter Cronkite Award for that complete cluster-flop of a town hall. Loesch, however, isn’t rolling over and playing nice this time.

On Tuesday, CNN announced that it had received the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism for its “Parkland Town Hall,” held after the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High. The University of Southern California’s Norman Lear Center commended the liberal network for a “compelling and powerful forum” and praised CNN anchor Jake Tapper for offering a “generous space” for the Parkland students, politicians, and the NRA representative, adding that the town hall helped “advance the national conversation on gun control and violence.”

Loesch took issue with that assessment on Twitter, however.

Is this a joke? Seriously. https://t.co/Hj7yVCZlhf
