If an extremist right wing nutcase tried to assassinate dozens of Democratic congressman

we'd hear non-stop about the guys affiliations and preferences and watch the media bend over backwards to use guilt by association

"He listened to Sean Hannity! Look everyone, the murderer listened to Sean Hannity!"

Will they do the same for Rachel Maddow?

We'd also hear non-stop about how dangerous right wing rhetoric emboldened and provoked him into action, and they'd demand every Republican politician in America come forward and denounce/apologize as though they themselves did something wrong.

The media is the greatest enemy in this country because they run propaganda cover for nutcases like the political terrorist this morning.

I know folks will chime in to say it's time to give this thought process a rest, but it really is hard to imagine if someone did such a thing with a Facebook page that had just half as much adulation for Donald Trump as this guy had for Bernie.

Now this I'll agree with. There is a double standard

The media and Obama admin called the Tea Party a radical extremist group that should be under close watch.

I will not hold my breath waiting for the same people to call out Bernie Supporters.

it's not ignored but y'all overplay it and play victim to such an extent that after awhile it's hard not to roll your eyes at it.

Case in point. You don't even believe it exists.

There's no helping someone as biased as you.

It would sound a lot like this board.

Let that sink in

They've already come to their conclusion. They have no need for facts that do not support said conclusion.

How can you not look objectively at the MSM and see there is a problem with the way they report "news"?

The petty bickering between two parties who are essentially the same amazes me. Certain posters on this board are so quick to point out the "global elites" who run the show but fail to recognize the tactics being used.
