The media just loves the Ku Klux Klan.
Here’s a small sampling of headlines:
The New York Daily News:
Donald Trump supported by former KKK leader David Duke: 'I hope he does everything we hope he will do’
Donald Trump supported by former KKK leader David Duke: 'I hope he does everything we hope he will do’
The Daily News gasped:
Donald Trump's been knighted by racist David Duke.The former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan told his bigoted followers that not voting for Trump would be “treason to your heritage” and implored them to volunteer for the billionaire candidate because they would find like-minded haters in the campaign.”
Then there was USA Today: Former Ku Klux Klan leader declares support for Donald Trump
The paper then wrote in breathless style:
Donald Trump once said he’s “the least racist person there is.”Even so, multiple white nationalists have found appeal in Trump’s message and have aligned their support with the presidential candidate.The latest is David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, who called for listeners of his radio show to support Trump and volunteer for his campaign.‘Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have,’ Duke said Wednesday on the David Duke Radio Program, as first reported by Buzzfeed.Duke reasoned that ‘voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage.’
And so it went in the mainstream media universe, Trump’s rejection of Duke irrelevant to their stories.
...So with all this attention to Trump on David Duke, surely you read the news about John Bachtell, right? He endorsed Hillary and the headlines were everywhere.
Oh, wait, sorry. Mr. Bachtell’s Hillary endorsement was apparently not newsy enough to make the mainstream media headlines.
Curious, yes?
If the endorsement of Trump by the ex-head of the Ku Klux Klan is big news, one would expect a Hillary endorsement by the head of the Communist Party USA would be a big deal as well.
That’s right. Hillary-supporter Bachtell is, as seen here, the very proud “national chair of the Communist Party USA.”
That’s right, Mr. Bachtell is a literal card-carrying Communist.
You recall the Communists, yes?
The folks who produced Stalin and Mao? .."
