NRA to shut down production of NRATV

[Watchdog]

Quoting from one source:

"The National Rifle Association is shutting down production of its online streaming network, NRATV, according to a spokesman for the gun lobby.
Andrew Arulanandam confirmed to CNN on Wednesday that the organization will stop producing new content for its 24-hour live online channel.

The Times noted that NRATV may air past content, but its hosts, like Dana Loesch, will no longer be featured in live programming."

Additionally, the NRA suspended Chris Cox, the Number 2 man in the organization.

Quoting from one source updated on June 20:

"As reported in the New York Times, the National Rifle Association suspended its No. 2 official Christopher Cox on Thursday following accusations in a lawsuit that he had aided the attempt to push out the group's CEO Wayne LaPierre.

Cox and top aide Scott Christman have been placed on administrative leave, NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam told the Times Thursday.

In a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday, the NRA alleged that former NRA President Oliver North attempted to oust LaPierre and that 'another errant N.R.A. fiduciary, Chris Cox -- once thought by some to be a likely successor for Mr. LaPierre -- participated,' according to the Times."

Great, NRATV sucked.

Wonder how much of this was brought on by outside influences?

Wayne LaPierre seems to be his own kind of swamp.

This doesn't surprise me. What we have here is a situation that calls for a thorough house-cleaning. Instead, the board has taken the stance of protecting Wayne at all cost. Nothing can destroy the NRA faster than conflating our NRA with Wayne. We don't need Wayne to survive.

Ackerman McQueen Inc. has been bleeding NRA for $10's of millions annually for many years. Yeah, "Freedom's Safest Place" ads were great but not $40 million a year great. Wayne's pissed that AMcQ (with co-conspirators) tried to hang his scalp on their wall but NOBODY messes with Wayne and survives. Ask Chris Cox and Ollie North how the coup went. I continue to watch with great enthusiasm. I'm ready to go "Benefactor" soon as I can figure out who and what (Yeah, I know 2nd A, gun rights, arming bears.....) I'm benefactin'. Joe

If the NRATV was axed for lack of viewership, OK, if it's money issues then maybe a cut in pay is advised from the top down. I have been a steady contributor to PVF and ILA, now I don't know what to. Bad timing for sure.

The owner and staff are strong supporters of the NRA.

Negative publicity doesn't help the cause. Let's wait and see how this plays out before we rush to judgement.
