NRA spokeswoman @DLoesch lashed out at a Daily News reporter for writing that she has tried to repeatedly "discredit" Parkland survivors.

Her own statements prove that's exactly what she's done.

The story refers to the instances Dana Loesch has characterized the teens as too young, too inexperienced and too susceptible to undue influence to be considered credible authorities in the gun debate.

One of her NRA-TV video clips posted in the aftermath of the deadly school shooting is titled “Parkland Activists Have Been Misled by Surrounding Adults,” where she portrayed the teens as coddled kids and political pawns.

In another rant a few days later, @DLoesch called David Hogg "sassy" and tried to discredit the National School Walkout (co-organized by Parkland students) by claiming it has anti-Semitic ties.

Discredit (verb)
Def: harm the good reputation of (someone or something); cause (an idea or piece of evidence) to seem false or unreliable

On this day 50 years ago, an unarmed black man was shot to death by a white man.

If it happened today, you would probably scroll past his name on one of your social media platforms, and it would look like this:

#MartinLutherKingJr.

nydn.us/2JiOdsk #MLK50
When you look at the 50th anniversary of King's assassination from that perspective, it makes it pretty clear that African-Americans are still dealing with the same exact issues that we faced half a century ago.

#MLK50 nydn.us/2JiOdsk
Throughout this day, you will see people who have no idea what King actually stood for, or would have hated him if he was still alive right now, do what they love to do annually on his national holiday: misrepresent his message.

Since the #Parkland shooting, news coverage of gun issues has dominated the headlines. Readers of the @HeraldTribune in #Sarasota #Florida might think they’re getting objective, unbiased reporting about gun issues.

Unfortunately, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
2) Lee Williams wears two hats at the Herald-Tribune. He’s not just a senior-level editor; he also serves as “Gun Writer.” Williams writes columns and articles on guns, producing @HeraldTribune-approved content for social media, a blog and a podcast.

I haven't thought of this in ages, but I remembered, reading the reporting on the #Parkland survivors' meeting with Trump that I have been a fly on the wall in a meeting of this nature, and it is one of the singular experiences of my life. /1
First, some background. From roughly 2005-2011, I wrote and developed a play based on the experiences of attorney Kenneth Feinberg as the special master of the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund. As research, we had several hours of on-record conversation. /2
That fund, briefly, was designed to provide financial compensation to the families of those killed in the 9/11 attacks, as well as those injured, in exchange for forgoing litigation against United and American Airlines. In the end, Feinberg disbursed roughly $7 billion. /3
