Media's Trump Derangement Syndrome Incites Violence
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/19/2016 | Kerry Jackson

Posted on 10/19/2016 4:08:37 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

The media's crusade to elect Hillary Clinton president is obvious. They deny their bias — they truly protesteth too much — but it's there and it's been confirmed by leaked emails.

But this election year, the bias is more than favoritism for the Democratic candidate. The media are going to great lengths to instigate a public hatred toward the Republican candidate.

Consider the remarks from Jonathan Allen of Roll Call, who called Donald Trump a "subhuman" who has a "blackened soul." It's too easy for someone on the edge to take those remarks and decide that something has to be done about such a person.

Meanwhile, the New Republic seems to suggest that Trump firebombed his own North Carolina campaign headquarters, presumably to use it as a means to obtain power. If it were true, wouldn't that make him the new Hitler, and therefore deserving of any and all the violence visited upon him? Instapundit Glenn Reynolds told the New Republic "you went full Reichstag, man. Never go full Reichstag." But it did — all part of the effort to incite voters against Trump. And if any crazies get the wrong idea, well, that's not the media's fault.

The good thing is that people with a functioning brain understand why the MSM is working so hard to push Hillary and aren’t buying it. The other braindeads are going to believe the lies even if they know they are lies.

Leftists *always* accuse Republicans of using the tactics that they themselves employ.

Leftists have been claiming that Trump incites violence even while agitators like Soros pay people to commit violent acts at Trump rallies.

If you want to know what leftists are doing, listen to their accusations—they tell you pretty directly what they are doing.

Every national election, Republican campaign offices are attacked like this because the Fascist Media in its lusts to get a Democrat elected creates fear, anger and hatred which results in these attacks. And from this last one, after the Fascist media incited the attack, they have the audacity to blame it on Republicans?????????

Adolescent psychotics will always be adolescent psychotics, especially when the adults are on vacation.

At some point misbehaving children have to be spanked and sent to bed with no supper.

My instincts tell me that the MSM is engaged in not only journalistic malpractice, but obstruction of justice as well.

“At some point misbehaving children have to be spanked and sent to bed with no supper.”

Maybe this election will be such that they’ll be ripped from the teats of the cow that’s fed by the taxpayers.

IMHO
