Angry Amazon Users Protest Companys Partnership with NRATV After School Shooting
Angry Twitter users started the hashtag #StopNRAmazon on Thursday over Amazon's partnership with the National Rifle Association, calling on the company and its CEO Jeff Bezos to stop allowing NRATV to be streamed on Amazon platforms.
"Attention @Amazon and @Amazonhelp -- it's been over a week since the Parkland tragedy. Why are you still offering NRAtv and its violent rhetoric?" Warren Leight, wrote in a Thursday tweet. Leight is an executive producer of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Leight and other Twitter users targeted Amazon in calls to remove NRATV from streaming platforms in the wake of last week's deadly Florida high school shooting. However, the channel also has partnerships and can be streamed on Apple TV and Roku, according to its website. "We are an open platform for streaming and allow publishers to reach a TV audience," a Roku spokesperson told Variety about its partnership with the National Rifle Association's programming.
