BLOOMBERG STRIKES AGAIN |
Grass Roots North Carolina was recently contacted by television station WBTV about a "Community Conversation" that they will be hosting about gun violence. The headliner for this "Conversation" is no other than Shannon Watts, the ex-Monsanto Bloomberg-funded head of the corporate anti-gun lobby that wants to convince you that your 2nd Amendment right isn't a right at all. Joining in this anti-gun echo chamber will be a host of Democratic politicians that share in the desire to limit your rights, "for your own good."
The station wanted to know if GRNC would "join" this "panel," knowing fully that whoever came would become the whipping post for this group of people that have sold their souls (and yours, given the chance) to the anti-freedom corporate lobbies that are hard at work. At no point, of course, did WBTV feel it appropriate to include an equal number of representatives from the large community of law-abiding gun owners, instructors, competitive marksmen and actual grassroots organizers that work hard to protect our freedoms: instead, one lonely person would be setup for abuse.
As we all know, this conversation has nothing to do with gun safety. This is, by design, an echo chamber of bought-and-paid-for sellouts—sellouts that will, on cue, jump in line to champion the failed gun control legislation that those of their ilk keep pushing for. Real discussions being a diversity of people and ideas together, but it's clear that WBTV has no interest in doing that.
Grass Roots North Carolina doesn't sell itself to anyone, and we like to remind those that do sell out that there's a very real consequence for doing this. We've tried to speak to the folks at WBTV, but they have been conveniently unavailable. It's time to show them that selling out to the corporate anti-gun lobby has real consequences.
If WBTV doesn't want to provide fair and balanced journalism, then we think it only fair to reach out to WBTV's advertisers and let them know that North Carolina's law-abiding gun owners will take their business elsewhere if they don't pull their advertising from WBTV to protest this egregious action.

- CALL AND EMAIL WBTV and let them know that Shannon Watts and her echo chamber of blind sheep followers are in no way representative of our community. They need to be told that this is both yellow journalism and overt sponsorship of the corporate anti-freedom agenda. Let them know that you will not be supporting them or their advertisers while they engage in this egregious behavior.
- CALL AND EMAIL Toyota of North Charlotte and tell them to cut their advertising ties with WBTV—and that if they don't, that you'll spread the word that Toyota of North Charlotte is tacitly supporting the corporate anti-gun lobby, and that they are not deserving of our business.
- PLEASE CONTRIBUTE TO GRNC: Help us fight gun control while we promote Second Amendment principles. Please CLICK HERE to contribute.
