Media Inspired Violence
There have been numerous posts here and elsewhere about the incredible media bias when it comes to reporting about PDJT, conservatives and Trump supporters. The MSM, by and large, has become a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party. Without the MSM the Democratic Party would cease to exist. It is only the constant false narratives of the media that keeps the Democratic Party in existence. When one story is shown to be false, they move on to another.
Memories are short; the Left knows this. This helps to embolden the Left to continue to grow more and more obvious, believing – probably not incorrectly — that they can pretty much foster any scam without repercussions. It has gotten so that today they believe they can do this without having to be subtle about it.
