Just imagine for a moment the shrieking outrage if Trump supporters had tried to flip a car outside a Hillary Clinton rally. Imagine the fury at the sight of a bloody man wearing a Hillary shirt.
So how did the mainstream media cover the anti-Trump riot? Hot Air’s Larry O’Connor has the details:
Check out the LA Times headline: Protests rage outside Trump rally in Orange County; 17 arrested, police car smashed. Maybe it’s me, but if your headline includes the phrase: “police car smashed,” perhaps you should go ahead and call it a riot and not the benign and righteous sounding “protest.”
The Times write-up of the ugly violence begins with more apologetic language: “Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night…” “Demonstrators”??? This is a very deliberate use of language. When you have a righteous cause, you’re a “demonstrator.” The Times is using language equating these thugs with someone marching in Selma. “Demonstrators” sounds heroic.
The Washington Post used the morally-neutral term “clashed.” Trump protesters clashed with police officers here after a campaign rally Thursday hosted by the Republican presidential candidate. It’s just a clash, folks. Who knows how it started? Then there was this tweet from an L.A. Times reporter:

The article is of course correct, but just yesterday a NR editor took a quite different view, more in keeping with their clear and unambiguous “NeverTrump” stance:
I’d rather not click on a National Review link.
French should address the hate-filled screeds being churned out by his fellow National Review staff writers. How many of them have likened Trump to Hitler, which may incite violence now and in the future?
Dear National Review: concern trolling from a gaggle of Trump-haters? It would take a heart of stone to not laugh out loud.
I won’t give NR a click to read the whole thing after their Anti-Trump tirades.
This guy is at least trying to be honest, something we seldom see from that group.
Absolutely!
When the Trump supporters start responding to this violence with more violence, the media will say “Trump supporters turn to violence to counter protesters.”
You know they will and so do I.

What will all these anti-Trump protestors do when he becomes POTUS? Hopefully they will be in the ranks of the deported.
This is an editor?
And she doesn’t know the difference between absolve and dissolve?
She’s a fool. NR has apparently gone so far away from its old self that it now hires “twitter chicks” and makes them “editors”. Her “tweets” sound like those of a high school girl.
Imagine the fury at the sight of a bloody man wearing a Hillary shirt.
Someone - thank David French... even if he does write for the National Review.
The LA Times is total Anti-America lying news source, directed at those drooling in cups and suffering dementia. No joke.
Calling these people protesters is the the height of hypocrisy written by extreme hating leftist racist. They absolutely hate white people at the LAT.
National Review is a stopped watch.
If there’s another fair to Trump article, by a different author, it might even be an olive branch.
How are they going to peddle conservatism while effectively working to elect Hillary? I suppose they could do it as a subsidized GOPe Pravda, but as a subscription based business they are going to be toast if Trump even has even moderate success in his first term.
Yes, I know that’s jumping past Hillary, but I have the feeling that Trump is going to have Hillary so completely branded as a sickly, lying traitor who is clinging on to political office as a life raft that she can only paddle with her woman card, the media are going to have to work hard to keep a straight face as they tell us “This race is still up for grabs.”
I think he’ll have her beat shortly after the first debate.
It always is.
It goes back to Genesis 3...
...did GOD really say...
the correct word is disruptors
until the press is brought to heel, there can be no peace

Awesome.
The left is showing their brutal thuggery (more to come before Calif June 7th and the Repub Convention, for sure).
But, hopefully Trump will be true-to-form and face it head on with a convincing/controversial dialogue against them in such a way that he shapes the public image against these urban terrorists.
I truly fear for his life, though. Irrational, uncivilized, mean people hate him.
I think this applies to ALL candidates; no matter WHO they are.
Of course; the numbers of them probably vary...
I'm sure there are a few BIMBOS out there that would just LOVE for Hillary to take a walk in a park...
