Networks Warn of ‘Dark,’ 'Divisive’ Night at GOP Convention
Newsbuster ^ | July 19, 2016 | Scott Whitlock |

Posted on 07/20/2016 5:15:57 AM PDT by Maceman

During live coverage of the Republican National Convention, Monday, the three networks chided the “dark” and “divisive” tone of the GOP’s opening night. CBS’s Bob Schieffer offered a closing commentary in which he suggested Trump in 2016 could end up like the landslide losses of 1964 and 1972. Regarding a single Code Pink protester, ABC’s Terry Moran blamed, “It was the kind of unsettled emotions that Donald Trump has sparked in many people around the country.”

Regarding “ a grieving mother of one of the dead from Benghazi,” Moran warned, “It's been a dark night, in many ways from the podium, and it's that kind of emotion that one feels here.” Over on NBC, veteran anchor Tom Brokaw chided, "Even with Mrs. Trump saying what she said, it's a pretty divisive message. There was no attempt to really pull the country together.”

Fearmongers.

And not very good at it. Losing their clout to influence as much as in the past.

This morning on GMA, they rolled out the count of black, female and Hispanic speakers at the RNC in Cleveland. Once again, the media have no interest in improving things.

One of the analysts on MSNBC this morning was just about in tears because the convention was going smoothly and whining that “we were promised chaos both on the convention floor and on the streets outside the convention but have seen neither.” Now their line has changed from “chaos” to the convention is a pointless and boring scripted “Trumpfest”....

Smell the fear.

You know, if Hillary faints on stage, these people will praise it as brilliant political theater because America is ready for a sick old criminal to lead us.

To those who live in darkness, the GOP’s opening night was “dark” and “divisive.”

To those who live in the light, the GOP’s opening night was A NEW DAY DAWNING.

It is darkest before the dawn.

“There was no attempt to really pull the country together.”

Hence Hillarys faxed in talking points to the managed MSM.

I wont be surprised when she chooses a ‘conservative’ white male, a Mitt or Jeb type as her VP selection, to ‘pull the country together’

I think she gets a safe rudderless faux conservative as VP unless Jarrett is pulling strings to keep he out of jail, then shes forced to go with some evil Warren true believer ilk,

We’ll know soon enough,

It’s amusing to see the champions of “identity politics” talk about “bringing the country together” when they are the ones who do the most to tear it apart.

If they’re worried about divisiveness they better stay away from the DNC convention. It’ll be full of

* Workers vs CEOs
* Poor vs rich
* Women vs men
* Blacks vs whites
* Black vs police
* Citizens vs “undocumented residents”
* Gays vs Christians
* Other Oppressed vs Oppressor

Their entire party is about dividing the country into opposing groups and hope that 50+% of voters hate their oppressors enough to vote D since Ds are the party of the oppressed.
