NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch is taking some heat for saying in a new video that the media “has got to stop creating more of these monsters by over-saturation” in response to the horrific shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas last week:

Video here:
"#MSM has got to stop creating more of these monsters by oversaturation. I'm not saying don't responsibly report on things as they happen. I understand it. But constantly showing the image of the murderer, constantly saying their name, is completely unnecessary." —@DLoesch #NRA pic.twitter.com/9GjK3sLrDr

NRA TV’s Colion Noir tweeted something similar as well:
Y’all Keep posting the shooters face like he’s a rockstar and then keep asking why this keeps happening in a country obsessed with celebrity culture with a generation of kids with an inability to cope w/ anything. #Fools

But what’s weird is that nobody is getting mad at Parkland survivor David Hogg for saying the same exact thing:
I don’t know the shooters name and don’t want to. If you agree, anytime you see a post with their name or face from news organizations post #NoNotoriety with one of the victim's names. We make these sick people known worldwide for their horrifying acts, let’s stop that.

Oh well. Must be an oversight!
Dana went on to ask how the Texas shooter’s parents missed that this kid was building pipe bombs in his home:
"What parent is unaware of their 17-year-old child manufacturing pressure cooker bombs, or pipe bombs? Multiple." —@DLoesch pic.twitter.com/tFuA4qIZvh

It’s probably controversial, too, that parents should actually have a clue on what their kids are up to.
