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:
John Davis= Troll again!
Ask my favorite brother Clark
Congratulations all my Fellow Trump Supporters for ignoring Mr. Trolls comments!! President TRUMP is the only one who has said anything about wanting it stopped. Obama I’m sure while gone will find ways to shell out more American Money for NOTHING!
Here is an idea, do not talk to, give interview, pay any attention to the liberal media outlets. Blacklist them.
Bout par for the course!
With his tenacity, one has to wonder if he answered one of those Craigslist ads for paid protester/troll/voter.
CBS needs to be shut down.
THOSE MAINSTREAM PRESS ARE PROVE THAT THEY CAUSE THOSE PROTESTER VIOLENCE,AND THEY ARE PART OF.

The American people are enraged and sick and tired of the flagrant bias in this country’s news media we are sick of it
