| The Media Seems To Be The Instigator Of Political Violence In America Not The Victim |
| 2018-08-04 |
| [RedState] One of the repetitive themes that we hear from the media and from their echo chamber is that President’s Trump’s dismissal of the media as "Fake News" and "failing" is somehow a) and assault upon the First Amendment and b) encourages violence against the press. ...I’m still waiting for the first news story of a reporter being targeted for death or injury by a GOPer ...the unhinged and bizarre stories run by CNN and MSNBC are, in fact, giving rise to real violence and real threats of violence against Republican officials. And the incidents that have occurred have been by the left: ...In June 2017, the GOP nearly lost a couple of dozen members to a deranged MSNBC fan ...people have been arrested in conjunction with credible threats of violence against two Republican members of Congress. ...These threats and attacks, much like the mistakes by the press, run overwhelmingly in one direction. They seem to be the direct result of the media generating a frenzy, a veritable series of editorial board sanctioned Two-Minute Hates, against Republicans. |
