I have never in my life seen the media reach such a level of advocacy before.

The level of scandal at the highest ranks of government right now would fuel a thousand Pulitzer Prizes had the perpetrators been republicans. Instead of being seekers of truth, they shill as the American ideal slowly dies.

There really needs to be some sort of FCC regulation that prevents the kind of 'journalism' abuses we have suffered in the past 2 years.

And dems stroke their confirmation bias while lapping it up, never pausing to question why a supposedly objective media is telling me exactly what to think. They are unwitting members of a cult.

I still don’t understand what is behind it all. And is it designed to be this way or did it evolve. And if it’s just “money” where are the republican water carriers and line toe-ers in the media because no one purely interested in collecting a check would just cut off half their potential customer base so three or four news outlets could fight over the other half. And don’t tell me Fox because they are nowhere near the level of partisanship the others are, not even close.

They are running out of things that ring true to the general population attempting to vilify the non-liberals. Playing on the emotions because it was kids involved in this tragedy is a tragedy itself. We almost always over react in after action responses due to emotions. Emotions interfere with common sense and good judgement. We have become so overly sensitive to the feelings of crazies that we stop short of keeping our public safe rather than facing the real problems with mental health and dealing with it. This guy showed all kinds of symptoms and predictable actions as he pretty much raised his hand on multiple occasions and told anyone that would listen; "I am going to kill someone". And that's all I am going to say about that.

They received their marching orders from Soros and the DNC, plain and simple. They know not to let a good crisis go to waste, so they seek this as a great opportunity to hit TRUMP and the Republicans ahead of the 2018 mid-terms.

I read an article the other day that said Cruz purchased his AR-15 "approximately one year ago" while at the same time lamenting that Trump rescinded Obama's executive order on gun purchases and mental illness in February 2017. Of course they mentioned the exact date that Trump issued his Executive Order although I can't remember the date off the top of my head and I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

I'm very curious as to the exact date that Cruz purchased his AR-15, was it before or after Trump rescinded that mental health EO. Based on the way that the article was written I feel fairly confident that it was during the Obama era regulation.

It's been there since Watergate.

Very little is different in terms of actual underlying attitude over the past 40yrs. E.g., beneath a superficial facade, identical anti-conservative venom, vitriol, and hate was certainly awash during the "W" years. We simply never had a POTUS capable of forcing it so visibly to the surface.

Until now the Media has been a bit like David Duke.
You knew there was underlying bigotry, vile vicious prejudice. But on the surface the ugliness was slathered over with attractive calm personalities presenting leftist talking points in tones of reserved expression, reasonable sounding posits and even pseudoeloquence.

Suddenly now though their message is not breaking through. Everytime they pose what in the past would resonate as an effective attack, they are thwarted. Worse yet they are beaten at their own game. There is frustration; even panic.

What you are seeing is a loss of composure. They badly underestimated an opponent. Now they sense the game is getting away. On the nightly news, wild-eyed, red-faced anchors issue spittle producing diatribes, and as their composure wanes, the public is given full glimpses of reality -- an unrepentant MSM revulsion to anything outside of leftist extremes.

Eventually, we should hope such exposure will lead to conclusions, both on the right and left, that our media shirked its journalistic responsibilities. That it gave up honesty in favor of socialist propaganda and progressive advocacy. Perhaps Nate Silver's recent irrefutable Presidential Historian critique stands as an early example.

So far, other than exposure, nothing attitudinally has changed though.

I love it. Have you ever considered that it's your party that's wrong about this? What other civilized country on this planet lets its citizens have the type guns that Americans have?

What’s more amazing is they give 0 voice to second amendment supporters. Literally 0 so far this morning on CBS.

They aren’t even trying anymore
