A large part of the media is dreaming about all the reports they could write about race riots, if they can just get some started.
Exactly, they want to write about the “Days of Rage” and use that to manipulate the Election coverage. When they did that in 1968 they ended up with Richard Nixon as the new president. What will happen this time? My feeling is that the result they get will not be the result they desire.
Also there may well be additional fall-out in that the MSM will be so discredited that their media and financial empires may crash and burn as the rise of the citizen-journalist becomes the norm. Think about that please... The MSM reporter at the scene is reporting and the Citizen-reporters behind him/in front of him/off to the side of him are reporting something entirely different and have high quality video/sound to back up their reports that are being made available in raw form almost instantaneously.
As in 1968, I think the more likely scenario will be for many white voters to decide that Dem candidates will not protect them against black violence, and that even white liberals will vote Republican in self-defense.
Now that you mention it, Mormon Mittens is a lot like Quaker Nixon. They are both RINOs with weird religions, not afraid to lie at the drop of a hat. Despite being Republican-lite the press absolutely despised old white man Nixon, and they will despise President Mittens. Nixon is what caused the leftist media to come out of the closet. From then on news reporting became a magnet for narcissists seeking to become political activist stars working to destroy the culture of American wealth and success.
Carter II was an opportunity for a Reagan II to get elected. Instead we're getting Nixon II.
