Wednesday night, CNN’s Jake Tapper highlighted some left-wing violence which hasn’t gotten much media attention.

At least two journalists in Charlottesville were assaulted by people protesting the Klan/Nazi/alt-right rally. Taylor is one: https://t.co/haVOw89uTN

FWIW.

I was an Uber driver a while back and sometime just prior to Trumps Victory in Nov. 2016 I picked up Jake Tapper’s head Writer at CNN’s main office in DC.

Jason something. But he did give me his phone number.

He was exhausted, not physically but mentally and for whatever reason he quickly told me what he did. I replied with a lyric from an ELO song “Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends”. He replied “Exactly, but it’s soo much worse” “Covering Trump was all about the ratings” he expressed his frustration of being forced to cover Trump.

I asked him if he was familiar with the 1970’s movie “Network”, He seemed to recall the movie but wasn’t really sure about it. I told him to watch it again.

I told him that if CNN or any other network really wanted to increase their ratings they should attack the “Fake news, misreporting, outright lies and lies by omission being conducted by the other Media outlets. He asked or suggested that Fox had Howard Kurtz’s show, and I told him that nobody watches it because it’s not only boring, it’s child’s play.
I told him that they could create a massive audience by calling out other networks by name and showing their audience why those other networks are wrong. It would become this giant “soap-opera” of media personalities both defending and attacking each other. He loved the idea but felt that he was trapped by this machine.

Shortly before the ride ended I put on Pink Floyd’s “Welcome to the Machine”

Gov. Terror McAuliffe needs to prove he didn’t issue a stand down directive.

My sympathy for this clown went away when he sucked up to Obama like Brian Williams. Few believed me at the time.

Hey, Jake! You and your fellow yellow journalists are lucky you haven’t been attacked by virtually every American you meet. Left, right, middle and those with no political interests.

[If Antifa is attacking CNN reporters it’s only because they’re fascists.]

As I asked a couple of guys last night:

“What is a ‘liberal’?”

I think a few hear know the correct answer.

Hello “journalists”. Do you “get it” now? Well, ya better learn real quick. Yeah, real quick.

Police said the stand down order came from the mayor. Did McCauliff order the mayor to call off the cops ? Quite possibly.

I know it probably won't happen, but The mayor should be made to explain himself. We know how disgusting Mccauliff is from Clinton days. I would put nothing past him.

Kluckers were always Dems back when the Southern Dems were segregationists, but now, my bet is that many don’t show up to vote, etc.

It’s because it’s hard to find the Polling Place signs when they are looking through those little eye peepholes in the top of the white sheet.

Actually, I kid about the sheet. Met a Klucker at an all night truck stop on I-85 in South Carolina about 10 years ago. He was the Grand Poo Bah or something like that. He had his “uniform” hanging in the back of his car next to me at the self-serve pumps. It was all satin, with all sorts of velvet-like purple and green stripes. He was quite proud that he had paid $1700 for it.

With all the velvet, it looked like an outfit to be worn by a gay hooker for Marti Gras.

Said he planned to be buried in it, or give it to his grandson. He wasn’t sure.

The kid was in the car. About 8 years old. He was embarrassed as hell.

Jake... if Antifa makes a threatening move toward you, buddy... just yell “Same Team”. I’m sure you’ll walk away unscathed.

The simple truth is there aren’t as many of them as the media would have us all believe. They’re the man behind the curtain while the media shows us The Wizard of Oz.

I will say this again. We are living in a “FAKE BUT ACCURATE” zeitgeist.

Even though this epistemology existed long before Dan Rather, Rather and CBS concretized for all the world to see the non-reality wonder bubble where the left lives.

You name any of the left’s memes (Kennedy’s Camelot or Clinton’s BJ not actually being classified as a sex act, Rather’s fake Bush Tx. Guard memos, and now Trump’s collusion w/ communists and somehow, at the same time, being a NAZI) and it fits the FAKE BUT ACCURATE template.

I have been excommunicated by many ‘friends’ for pointing out this truth. By their actions, I know they really weren’t friends. It’s still bothersome to see stupid is so stupid does. There is no learning - no self examination... only the wanting to exterminate the source of reason that, to them, assaults their ‘inspired’ worldview.

We are at the end of the beginning of CWII. With the election of DJT we said ENOUGH. They said we want you dead, exterminate the white privileged.

The only question is... Who is going to control the guillotines?

I saw that on One America News. It seems they are the only news channel which will report on groups, and people like Soros, and it is a relief to get the news and no editorial crap on every minute which is disguised as news.

Not long ago I worked with this Guy from Armenia and he came from a very well educated and well connected family.

Nice guy, a smart guy that was just trying to make a living in America.

We got into politics and he expressed his casual position, basically a default Democrat based on what he picked up from the little news he actually watched. Republicans are evil racists and are only looking out for the rich. In less than 20 minutes, only because he was willing to listen, I laid out my Constitutional position and why Liberals are just plain stupid. The next day he came in and thanked me.

He thanked me for opening his eyes and was no longer a Democrat.

Jake Tapper: Antifa protesters have attacked several journalists

But they won't report how violent these people are on the airwaves because that runs counter to their narrative.

The propaganda effort to elect Democrats is their mission, and that reporting the "news" stuff, doesn't really matter.
