Imagine, if you will.

A leftist group plans a protest.

A conservative group known for prior violence decides to show up.

Violence ensues. Eventually, some dumb arse from the leftist group runs people over.

How do you see that getting played in the media?

LOL. You all know the answer. You all know it in your heart of hearts.

You don't even really have to guess. I mean hell. Leftist groups showed up to Trump events to beat the shite out of Trump supporters............and it was portrayed as TRUMP'S fault!

The driver would be praised and make the circuit of morning talk shows about their bravery and doing what it takes to fight hate

Liberal backed main stream media didn't plan it that way

I predict there would be many melts by both sides. It would be all Obama's fault from one half, and all Trump's fault from the other. One side would scramble to find examples of this being done by Muslims and the other side would scramble to find examples of this being done by Christians.

There would be a revisionist take on history, and neither side would be correct.

Completely different than what actually happened. Completely...

Is this board a driver of public opinion?

The point is, in the media, the narrative is the same regardless.

Lefty protestors.....conservatives show up.....violence ensues........Conservatives fault

Conservative protestors......lefties show up......violence ensues........Conservatives fault.

To be sure, that's an exaggeration.

But, we watched ON VIDEO, ANTIFA people attack conservatives........and then, the Press interviewed them like they were the good guys.

Hell. In one video, ANTIFA dude attacks people.......people respond and kick ANTIFA dude's arse.

Reporter who sees the WHOLE THING runs to the ANTIFA guy to get his point of view and portrays the other guys as "violent".

Let's not act like we didn't just watch all that last year.

It's a driver of my private opinion.

I don't think the media would blame the right if a person ran over someone on the right. You're just playing victim because you don't have any empathy to give when something goes against your narrative. I'm sorry to inform you that your side has shite heads too. I have seen very little remorse around here. Just playing victims in hypothetical situations

To be fair, that leftist group is also known for violence.

if we are, you know, doing this "just for fun"

Well my posts would be the exact same. I've been calling both sides evil and full of idiots. I called the victim an idiot yesterday for throwing her life away over a statue and got called a racist.

Run over?

Probably not.

But, they absolutely DID blame the right for the protestors kicking their arse. I mean, come on man. A little honesty here.

I don't doubt they're biased but to say if someone on the right getting killed would make the media blame the right is a pipe dream of yours. That's just not reality. Most of you would filter through the comments on CNN and cherry pick ones that sounded less sympathetic and make 100 threads about a blurb.

First off, i think we have a different definition of fun. Secondly, you cant flip the events because there arent white supremacist liberals that would protest the Lee statue coming down.

Sorry but you cant just pretend that isnt part of the equation. Now go live in your fantasy land of infinite possibilities while the rest of us deal with reality.

Well now you're out of your fricking mind.

If the right showed up to a lefty event, they ABSOLUTELY would get labeled as instigating violence.

Oh, the media would be mad the lefty ran someone over.

But the violence would have been portrayed as "instigated" by the right.

I mean for frick's sake. How do you people pretend you never watch the media?

The narrative after the Dallas BR cop murders was "Aggressive racially charged policing has driven people to commit these acts."

I try not to watch the media dude, you need to calm down, I know they're awful. Being just as bad on here doesn't "even it up". It makes me think you're both shitty. And I know you're a better poster than that.
