Media's mass editorial anti-Trump editorial collusion actual proves the President's point
Erick Erickson:
Virtually all of the political violence today is directed toward Republicans and toward Trump supporters.
From the shooting of Steve Scalise and others at a baseball practice to the fascists' mobs of Antifa, the targets have been Trump supporters. Many of these thugs appear motivated by the very material the media is publishing expressing various forms of hatred of those supporting the President. People wearing hats and shirts supportive of the President have been assaulted. A bumper sticker supporting him is enough to provoke a vehicular assault on the car.
Not one journalist has been assaulted by someone wearing a MAGA hat.
Running coordinated editorials decrying the President just plays into the President's hands.The contention by some in the media that is is dangerous to be so critical of the media is delusional.
Over 200 newspapers across the country are together running editorials on the same day decrying President Trump’s attacks on the press. In so doing, these news outlets are confirming in the minds of many that they do coordinate efforts to attack the President. They play into the President’s hands and he will use these editorials as further proof they are out to get him.
The truth is the American press is not the enemy of the people, but is its own worst enemy. The press corps in the United States exudes a sense of entitlement. Only a few years ago a reporter at a prominent outlet declared the freedom of the press belonged only to reporters. Just last week, CNN ran an opinion piece comparing reporters asking the President questions with soldiers laying down their lives in defense of the country.
The President can attack the press so savagely because the American press corps currently has popularity ratings hovering somewhere beneath the piece of toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Instead of trying to get stories right, the press is trying to be first. Instead of trying to understand and account honestly for both sides, the press is more and more playing to the left’s political prejudices.
