The New York Daily News obviously decided to give Dems pushing a false “blame the NRA” narrative after the horrific mass shooting at a Florida high school a BIG assist. This is absolutely disgusting:
The Florida shooting suspect was on an NRA-funded school rifle team https://t.co/6pZqrtZMRD

Just WOW.
The club was an air rifle team and was hosted by the ROTC. Amazing smear here considering JROTC students helped other students out of the school. This is really amazing. https://t.co/9XesQ7izWy

The NRA gave a grant for the JROTC program. This isn’t even reporting. It’s clickbait garbage. This isn’t journalism. It’s why no one trusts the media. @C_Sommerfeldt @Janon_Fisher

He joined a JROTC program in school which is for kids who want to join the military later on in life. You didn't mention that other kids in this program helped protect some of their classmates. By this logic US taxpayers also trained him cause this is a public school program

It’s completely shameless and pathetic spin on the part of the Daily News and they should apologize. Meanwhile, the paper is getting an avalanche of backlash and they deserve it:
One of the most vile, misleading headlines of our time. The term “Hack” is way too good for you

It's the NRA's fault he joined the ROTC.

You CAN write headlines like this that mislead your readers, but HOW do you live with yourselves?

Good God, I didn't even realize this was the Daily New's front page today. Sometimes media cynicism can be so breathtaking that it becomes affirmative malice. pic.twitter.com/GECBwW7eXX

Rare is the week that journalism does a good job to bolster its credibility, but goddamn this week has been such an abysmal display of dishonesty and incompetence. https://t.co/7COMSFCmHp

On par w/ CNN’s celebration of Kim Jung Un’s sis as the lowest media moment of 2018 … if not ever https://t.co/EH44Xq3pWd
