Editorial: Newspaper killings an attack on all Americans
San Jose Mercury ^ | June 30, 2018 | Mercury News & East Bay Times Editorial Boards |

The killing of five staffers at an Annapolis, Md., newspaper is an attack on all of us.

By us, we mean not just journalists — but all Americans. For the foundation of our country depends on a free press able to probe and report without fear of retribution.

There’s no evidence he was motivated by Trump’s attacks on the news media. But the environment the president has created makes us targets.


How about Kate Steinle being murdered by an illegal alien in the Bay Area. Does that make we American citizens all targets. How about conservative members of congress being gunned down at a baseball game? Does that make all conservatives targets? Your selective outrage is pathetic.

The press never misses an opportunity....even a blood-soaked one....to flaunt its self-importance.

No, San Jose Mercury Fake News, you would be wrong. This was a targeted attack by a mentally disturbed lunatic who doesn’t know how to not hold a grudge.

It was an attack on an entity that his deluded and defective brain told him he was wronged by. It had nothing in the world to do with the rest of America. Nothing

No it is not an attack on all Americans. It was an attack on that newspaper because they had an ongoing feud with a guy who was even nuttier than the staff of that newspaper.

So tired of this crap.

Where’s the truth in reporting in actual journalism? That died in most reporting many years ago.

Rules For Radicals - Saul Alinsky

1) Use a tragedy as a crisis, or create a crisis where none exists. 2) Paint the crisis with as much emotion as possible, and throw logical analysis out the window. 3) Propose the one and only solution to the problem, which just happens to coincide with what you’ve wanted to implement for many years. 4) Paint anyone who opposes your one and only solution as evil, uncaring, not smart enough to understand the nuanced brilliance of your solution, or in the pockets of …. you pick the evil entity. 5) Force the solution on the people by any means, whether legislatively, by executive order, or through the legal system. 6) When the unintended consequences of your solution rear their ugly head, use them as a reason for more brilliant solutions to made up crises .

Wouldn’t you also want to fear approaching where that nut went? I see all manner of swagger on FR sounding like this. Different cause, but scarily similar outcome. Did CWI teach anybody anything?

Who the hell do these people think they are? They color everything they print to push their liberal/progressive agenda, not to mention flat out lie. They attack Trump and his supporters non-stop, and then have the gall to think they are above approach. They are the enemy of any patriotic American. I don’t give a crap about them.

Oh they love blood soaked opportunities. They make the most of them.

There is one thing about this shooting which I have not seen before. The cops showed up almost immediately and it appears they saved lives, a lot of lives.

The media sits around lying, cries when they get called liars and retreats to talking about the First Amendment and how vital their propaganda is to the country.

How many articles have these faggots written about Tommy Robinson being locked up by the UK Mullahs for “reporting”?

Not a single one.

I don’t miss working in this field one bit.

By far the biggest group of self-important liars in the world.

If you become evil to fight evil you become the problem not the solution.

No doubt. Talk about making this about what it wasn't.
