Left-wing media do not consider their political narratives dangerous

Even after the first assassination attempt, Joy Reid was blaming Trump. Going back to the 2016 election, Reid says their were men with long guns parading in front of her position in Arizona in 2016 specifically to intimidate her. She forgets that during Obama’s term, in Philadelphia, BLM gangs were parading with firearms in front of a polling place. And, AG Holder said that was not intimidation.

Notice how the left excuses their inciting rhetoric in the following quote:
In the wake of Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt, the Republican candidate is already on the offensive and pointing fingers without regard for evidence or propriety. Less than 24 hours after the alleged would-be shooter was taken into custody, Trump told Fox News Digital that the suspect “acted” on “highly inflammatory language” of Democrats.

People on the right do say that Democrats want to destroy our country and are destroying our country. Such language should be moderated for sure. But, ‘without evidence’ seems to only affect accusations from the right. By the way, there is mountains of evidence. When they say Trump is an existential threat to democracy, is Hitler, has endorsed an authoritarian-style vision for our country, and there will be no more elections after his election, thee media say they have no evidence for this. These are just political narratives, and very dangerous ones at that. The truth is the left’s actions and policies are the threats to democracy, but when he calls the left & the media on this, they claim he is the one that is using inflaming rhetoric.The media then spins Trump’s statements, like ‘bloodbath’, into different meanings to fit their preferred narratives. But, why, when the left uses the same and worse language, like Trump must be stopped, we have got to put a bullet in him, is that not considered inflamatory? Would the left and the media ever allow a Republican to get away with saying that? Of course not.

Hillary Clinton on MSNBC said this:
I think there’s a couple of things going on here. You mentioned the press. And, sadly, the press is still not able to cover Trump the way that they should. They careen from one outrage to the next. What was outrageous three days ago is no longer on the front pages, even though it threatens the physical safety of so many people, particularly, as you point out, immigrants that he and Vance have decided to demonize. And I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is! The late, great journalist Harry Evans one time said that journalists should really try to achieve objectivity. And by that, he said, I mean, they should cover the object. Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world, and stick with it! They were merciless about what they saw as President Biden’s problems in the debate and calling for him to withdraw. I believe Donald Trump has disqualified himself over and over and over again to be a presidential candidate, let alone a president.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, suggested that Americans who share political misinformation should face civil or criminal charges, depending on the case. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow interviewed Clinton and asked her if the U.S. government is taking foreign governments’ attempts to spread misinformation or propaganda in the U.S. “seriously enough” or if more needs to be done. “I think there’s a far distance to go,” Clinton said. “I applaud the actions taken by the Justice Department and the State Department. I think that they’re very important. But truly, we are just at the beginning of uncovering everything that Russia, but not just Russia, other countries, have done and are doing to influence our election.” The Justice Department recently indicted two Russia Today employees who provided funding to an American media company to advance Russian interests in the U.S. “I also think there are Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly, or even in some cases criminally charged, is something that would be a better deterrence,” Clinton said. “Because the Russians are unlikely, except in a very few cases, to ever stand trial in the United States.

Free speech is the first thing taken away in authoritarian regimes.

The White House, two days after the 2nd assassination attempt, calls Trump a ‘threat’.

Columnist David Marcus joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss the potential impact of rhetoric labeling former President Trump as a ‘threat’ to Democracy.

Marcus says the left has normalized assassination attempts. When he was in Ohio & Pennsylvania, locals told him they were not surprised at the assassination attempts.
