Crazy Haters and the Twisted Press"This Saturday eleven people were killed by a shooter in a Pittsburgh synagogue during morning services.
The shooter appears to someone who not only hates Jews, but hates President Trump as well.
Julia Joffe, a GQ correspondent, finds a way to blame Trump for this mayhem:
FollowFollow @juliaioffeMoreAnd a word to my fellow American Jews: This president makes this possible. Here. Where you live. I hope the embassy move over there, where you don’t live was worth it.-9:22 AM - 27 Oct 2018
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the mainstream media handles the background of the man responsible and contrasts it with this week’s perfervid reportage of the man who mailed dud nonfunctioning “bombs” to prominent Democrats and some media.
Without a serious look at the background of the dud bomber, much of the press leaped to blame the president.
Theothermccain dug deeper into it.
While described as a “Seminole Indian” and a fervent Trump supporter, the suspect, Cesar Sayoc is the son of a Puerto Rican immigrant with a long arrest record for making bomb threats, petty theft, grand theft, battery, drug possession, and domestic violence.
Some of these offenses would appear to be felonies and yet until 2016, after years of being registered as a Democrat, he changed his registration to Republican -- something peculiar in a state that bars felons from voting.
...Truly this meme about toning down political speech is one the press likes as a means of silencing the critics of its own partisan, slipshod work and the policies and character of its darlings on the left.
In any event it’s wise to remember that the press follows the “if it bleeds, it leads” by sensationalizing such things. As Seawriter sagely observes we’ve lived through far crazier times.
Keep your perspective."
