Truth-tellers hijack #mtvmovieawards with #Gosnell reality checks

Young fans tuned in to the MTV Movie Awards last night for another dose of celebrity vapidity. Awards included “Shirtless moment,” “Best kiss,” “Best fight,” and “Scared (crazy) moment.” But a new generation of truth-tellers living in the, ahem, real world decided to use the night’s festivities as a teachable moment.

They hijacked the #mtvmovieawards hashtag to keep the Kermit Gosnell horror story on the national radar screen and to school the uninformed.
