Country Music Television urges viewers to ‘wear orange’ for gun control campaign


I know media outlets are dumb as shite but how in the absolute hell did anyone there think this was remotely a good idea?

quote:

"We're (virtually) wearing orange today in support National Gun Violence Awareness Day and to call attention to the more than 100 lives that are lost every day to gun violence," the ViacomCBS-owned entity tweeted Friday ahead of the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday.


I didn't watch CMT anyway but a lot of viewers are pissed and won't watch any longer.

Does CMT even have original programming anymore?

I'd hijack this campaign and say wear Orange to support Preventing Children Near Joe Biden.

Orrrr sell teddy pedobears wearing orange and call it the Biden Bear Campaign.

Corporate media can't help themselves when it comes to virtue signaling. Never underestimate the stupidity of the left. Even CEO's of corporations can out-retard their ability to earn profits.

Viacom doesn’t care.

Hell, they probably don’t care if the station goes under.

if there's one thing you can be sure of, is that this message will absolutely get to the group that's doing the killing every day with guns. I mean, what else are inner city youths listening to if it's not CMT?

Bunch of fricking idiots.

Also...I'm assuming this 100 per day number is the inflated one which uses suicides in there to burp them up?

Why is Shari ROTHSTEIN trying to take our guns? As the owner of ViacomCBS she should answer.

Country music is full of cucks these days. Chris Stapleton is a giant pussy. One of the guys from Florida Georgia Line considered breaking the band up (I wish they had; they suck) because the other dude supports Trump. Dixie Chicks dropped their name to The Chicks. Lady Antebellum is now just Lady A because Antebellum might make people uncomfortable. Taylor Swift dabbles in country and she loves to chime in on politics.

Turn that shite off. I'll wear orange when I'm deer hunting.

Being against gun violence and being for gun control aren’t necessarily the same thing.

If CMT explicitly comes out as pro-gun control, their audience will be smaller than BET’s.

How about raising awareness of criminal violence instead?

I wouldn't know I haven't watched it in years... all I remember were some dumb arse show with Reba McIntire and reruns of the Dukes of Hazard...

It was an honest question concerning their programming and market pull...

Yeah let's preach to responsible gun owners how they need to have more restrictions placed on them thanks to CRIMINALS.

I think CMT had the right idea but they missed the mark. They should have said,

We're urging our viewers to wear orange in support of the many innocent children killed every year from gang violence in Chicago, Baltimore, St Louis, Philadelphia, etc."
