Does the MSM get to call for violence without any repercussions?...NY Times calling for mob violence against SCOTUS pick.

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

The editorial board of the paper that has one of the worst reputations against patriotism and The Constitution is calling for mob actions against the President's pick for the Supreme Court announcement (rumored to be 9PM tomorrow) in a fashion that gangland warriors can certainly relate to. Check out this Breitbart story:

https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/07/07/new-york-times-calls-godfather-tactics-stop-trumps-scotus-nominee/

Free Speech is one thing, outright violence--or calls for violence--is another. How are we going to survive as a nation if our "Fourth Estate" is manifestly calling for an end to our Constitution? How is the "rule of law" ever going to ever be upheld (and the rule of law STARTS WITH The Constitution) again if our nation's oldest and most powerful media outlets are allowed to call for blood in the streets without consequence?

This is outrageous, and I hope President Trump gets up a Tweet storm, and in a hurry, on this topic. Check out this brief excerpt from the above link:

"As of July 7, Breitbart News has documented 190 acts (this list continues to be updated) of media-approved violence and harassment against Trump and his supporters during the last 31 months.

The establishment media continue to ignore, downplay, encourage, and even justify violence against their political enemies on the right, and the result of this indifference and wink-wink encouragement is an epidemic of violence and harassment."

So....where is the law? Where is the Congress? Where is the Twitterer-in-Chief? This stuff needs to be answered and dealt with harshly and to the full extent of the law. You can not openly call for violence. That is NOT covered by The First Amendment.

When are conservatives going to get off their duffs and demand that this stuff stop? What are we really all afraid of?

I can remember when being a reporter was an honorable profession.

I can remember when reporters actual INVESTIGATED things and reported REAL NEWS rather than just printing leftist propaganda, often written by those involved in fomenting the very violence they are urging. I can remember when we had laws against media mega-monopolies and when editors still valued the truth above corporate profits and Marxist values.

Where is the America I grew up in that valued HARD NEWS (not fluff and propaganda,) AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP (not global citizenship,) REAL PATRIOTISM (not neocon jingoism. ) I want THAT America back!

me too my friend. thanks for this information, I had no idea that so many were calling for violence, I thought it was just Maxine Waters. what in the world is going on? if even one conservative called for violence it would be the top news story for months.

It sure would! Yea, we are in a pre-Communist society now, for sure.
