This was the NRA's response a few months after I took over @mmfa's guns team, hired @timothywjohnson as a researcher, and refocused our strategy on exposing its vile, extreme online programming. Thanks to the incredible work of Tim and @CydEHargis, NRATV was shut down last night.
@mmfa @timothywjohnson @CydEHargis Here's the timeline showing how @CydEHargis's monitoring NRATV's programming ultimately helped trigger a split between the NRA and its advertising agency, leading to NRATV's demise: mediamatters.org/research/2019/…
@mmfa @timothywjohnson @CydEHargis It's a big gun violence prevention movement, and a lot of activists did a great job getting out the word about how extreme NRATV's programming was. But for that to happen, someone had to watch it. And that job fell to @timothywjohnson, @CydEHargis, and @mmfa.
