From Wayne LaPierre, NRA Exec. VP:
Dear Fellow NRA Member,
On Friday, September 21, from 8:30-5:00, NRA is holding its Celebration of American Values at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C. The event is being covered live by C-SPAN. Please be sure to watch this important presentation. Also, please be sure to call C-SPAN immediately and tell the station that you’re enjoying the coverage so that they’ll continue to carry this and other NRA events. Please, also be sure to be on the lookout for news reports of this important event on other major networks. Thank you very much.
I presume that those times are Eastern. I don’t have TV access where I am now, so I will get Damsel to check my theory.
Update: Damsel reported that both C-SPAN channels on DirecTV were showing content other than the NRA.
I missed the C-SPAN coverage of NRA’s Celebration of American Values, but I did see a clip of Fred Thompson speaking at the event on Fox News. Fred was introducing his wife and said that she would make a better First Lady than Bill Clinton. 😉
However, when the sequence was covered on Special Report, Mort Kondracke made a complete ASS of himself when he declared the NRA to be extremists ‘who want to legalize assault weapons, BOMBS, and anything else.’
Mort, do your homework – as a ‘journalist’ you owe that to your readers and viewers.
