Right Wing Terrorists in the Military

You post the same thought with minor variations over and over. What is your actual opinion on the subject of this story and whether or not he was influenced by right wing media? You seem to always avoid Commenting on the subject matter.

As someone said, lol at comparing WaPo or NYT to Brietbart or Rush Limbaugh or Fox News. C’mon, man.

one side calls the other the "enemy of the people." the other side reports on them being called that.
 
Pigeonholing this as a “Fox news” problem, like several on this thread did, is like looking at a carpet through a straw. That’s why I invoked antifa, but I could have invoked any number of non-right wing domestic terroritsts.

The problem isn’t Fox News. The problem is much bigger than that—a complete breakdown of the moral fiber of the citizenry, untreated mental illness, and easy access to weapons of war, among other things.

Has there been a rise in right-wing domestic terrorism? Yes. But you could shut down Fox News tomorrow and it wouldn’t change that trajectory. I don’t have all the answers, but “Faux News!!!11ARGH” obscures the problem.

So your position is that the President’s anti-press rhetoric, which is both fueled and parroted by Fox News, has nothing to do with this guy? I’d say you’re smarter than that but I’m not sure anymore.
 
Excellent point, teach.

Everyone here on *cough* The Tunnels *cough* knows the Dem Party has no echo chambers.

Vox, Daily Kos, the NYTimes, NPR, WaPo, MSNBC, and CNN (just to name a few) are accepting and tolerant of all political views and have their finger on the pulse of mainstream America.

WaPo, NYT, and NPR (and Vox to a lesser extent) bend over backwards bend over backwards to be tolerant of right wing extremist views and report on the pulse of white, rural America (not the same thing as mainstream America) so that they can appear balanced (often at the expense of objective reporting).

The Mainstream Media is implicitly left-biased. But they are so scared of that implicit bias shadow that they overcorrect in ways that have normalized Republican extremism. To call that the left-wing version of Fox News is laughable. Fox News leans so far into their bias that it’s often hard to differentiate them from a Republican propaganda network.

Wapo and the New York Times are currently,and by Logan’s insinuation,”Horse Shit!” — she clearly got that descriptor from me :)

Haberman is an ex-Politico hack and Dowd is past her usefulness.

Sheryl Atkisson,Lara Logan and Sara Carter are true to the profession.The bulk of MSM today is a cheese filled combo of yellow journalism and agit-prop. When it comes to Trump supporters or pretty much anyone who doesn’t goose-step to the beat,the response is swift and unforgiving.

*Atkisson’s NYT’s best seller,“Smear”,is an in depth and sourced view of the Left’s favorite tack when facing headwinds..

What a Lovely day :)
 

Lol no shot RC. GOP loves to bemoan the breakdown of morality because people don’t love Jesus anymore, conveniently forgetting that the majority of moral breakdown (if that is even a thing, I contend it is not) is because of Christians.

This ^ is a whole nuther level of gas-lighting. :)
 
What is morality anyway? I get the feeling that cheating on your wife with porn stars and soliciting prostitution at massage parlors doesn't make the list anymore.

Morality is a social construct
 
Bias in news used to mean being selective about which stories you cover. Now, some how that has gotten spun into just flat out lying and making news out of lunatic conspiracy theories.

My inclination is the JB draws a lot of definition of morality from Christianity, but I could be wrong there. Seems like right-wing terrorists are often drawing from that same tradition to fuel their ideology. That seems problematic with his solution of morality as a panacea for societal ailments.

Obama and Robert Creamer race-baited for eight years.Over 20
high profile hoaxes perpetrated by the Left and bull-horn’d by the liberal msm.

The problem is in the reportage.The poll numbers reflect this when trust in the main stream media is the subject.Americans overwhelmingly distrust msm because of this fact.
 
So should I check out basements of pizza parlors anymore or not? Fox News has been unclear to me. I'm just gonna do it in case I stumble across any liberal freaks with kiddie obsessions

whereas the NYT will do everything in its power to not call people "racist" ("racially charged" "racial in tone" etc) or call Trump a liar ("the President used language that was factually inaccurate") all the while giving people like Bari Weiss and David Brooks cushy jobs.
 
Junebug, just answer the questions.
 
Waiting for Junebug to point to leaders of the Democratic Party calling anyone that disagrees with them the enemy of the people and compiling a list of enemies that seem to always end up being the exact same lists as found with right wing terrorists........
 
Trump just said he hadn't been "fully briefed" on the white supremacist terrorist. But he's had time to make several tweets about Smollett and call the NYT "enemies of the people" multiple times.

Protecting the white guy, Trump supporter than protecting the country. Some things don't change for Trump.

As an aside, I wonder how many tweets and interviews Trump would have done if the terrorist's name was Enrique Rosales or Muhammed Islam.
 
Junebug, link to failed or successful killers during previous admins with specific lists as this guy and the MAGA bomber had?

I think it’s pretty disingenuous to say right wing media hasn’t at least influenced these people in some fashion. I mean we have the lists from these guys and they’re the same people/organizations that Trump and Fox News constantly attack as fake or evil. Its ok to acknowledge this.
