Do many in the media like the ratings mass shootings bring to their networks? It’s a fair question, and one that needs to be given more ‘air time’ in the national debate as yet another horrific mass shooting dominates the news cycle.


On Friday, Dana Loesch, national spokeswoman for the National Rifle Association, defended her previous statements about mass shootings being “ratings gold” speaking to CNN’s “New Day” host Alisyn Camerota:


“I do think that many in the media do because they like the ratings aspect of it. And it’s true because it’s wall-to-wall coverage. They put the murderer’s face up on loop, on televisions all across America, more than they discuss the victims or survivors.”


Camerota fires back, “It’s just not true! How dare you!”


Watch the heated exchange:



Loesch then reminded Camerota that CNN has allowed many of their guests to openly present that the NRA is somehow complicit in the crime that took place in Parkland, Florida earlier this month.
