Last week, critics accused the mainstream press of encouraging anti-Trump violence in the wake of Tuesday’s election results. Now we have yet another example that the media didn’t do all they could to stop the attacks allegedly happening across the United States. Quite the contrary, their actions encourage more violence.
It’s easy to see why the press wanted the anti-Trump violence to continue. From a TV perspective, the protests made compelling programming. There’s a saying in the news that “if it bleeds, it leads,” and these attacks were providing the blood.
But the violence also helped serve the narrative the press tried to push the entire campaign. In the months leading up to the election, the media tried to paint Trump’s supporters as an unruly, racist mob. The press wanted “Trump’s America” to be a hateful, violent place.
And after the election, it looked as if they got what they wished. Hate crimes reportedly spiked and violent protests broke out across the country. Much of this violence was against Trump — not in support of him — and several of the reported “hate crimes” turned out to be fake, but that didn’t matter. The media kept reporting and encouraging the attacks because it undermined the president-elect.
Well now it looks as if their plan backfired. See why many are accusing CBS of inciting violence on the next page:
I am sick and tired of the left liberals calling for protests and anti Trump everything. Guess what assholes? We the people elected him and we are getting tired of your b******t and crying out against the will of the people and the vote. You are pissing off all the Trump supporters and instigating a civil war, so tread lightly but don’t tread on us. We will not coddle your dumbasses when we get irritated enough to come after you.
You’ll never hear a condemnation of bad behavior coming from Obama or Hillery. If fits their agenda
Give Soros press and tv people hell
Boycott NBC
