What would have happened if a Trump supporter had shot a Democratic congressman and other Democratic Washington officials?


The answer is obvious. The New York Times, the rest of the left-wing media and the Democratic Party would have made the shootings the dominant issue in American life. It is not possible to understand the left -- and, therefore, the media and the current state of American life -- without understanding how the left uses and relies on hysteria. Hysteria is to the left as oxygen is to biological life.

But it was a not a Trump supporter who attempted to murder a Democratic congressman, Capitol Police officers, a House GOP aide and a lobbyist; it was a Trump-hating leftist who attempted to murder a Republican congressman and other Republican officials. And, for that reason, what would have been the dominant issue in America today is already a nonissue. The shooting took place on Wednesday. On Friday, the only article about it on The New York Times front page was about the "harmony" engulfing Democrats and Republicans in the wake of the shooting. By Saturday, there was nothing about the shooting on the front page.

Dennis Prager really hits a home run with this piece. I remember the coverage of Giffords shooting went on for weeks and weeks and weeks. This time, not so much because of who was doing the shooting.


Today's American media is a national joke.

"Today's American media is a national joke."



They are but they are running the show as your links show.

Imagine a Trump hating Bernie Bro taking up a gun in an attempt to assassinate members of the GOP. It is a good thing that the capital police were there to stop this maniac or the carnage would have been terrible.

The coverage of this shooting has been minimal compared to what would have happened if it was a Trump supporter going after a Dem.

The media has much to answer for.
