It's all in keeping with my conclusion that the MSM constitutes an advertising agency (in that advertising is a legitimate technology) for the left.
Note the use of "trigger words" regardless of their applicability to the situation. It's more important that they inject these emotional triggers into the discussion, than getting the story, in any sense, correct.
I strongly suspect if these media "front men" ever came out of their various "enclaves," they'd REALLY learn the meaning of the word "crackdown," and not from government sources, either.
What you say makes sense there.
It so annoying too, as well as infuriating.
