It is a big deal that a cesspool of racist trash produces stuff that eventually finds it's way into official white house statements IMO.

The subject matter is also a pretty big deal in light of the fact that the most powerful man on earth, on most days, sends out messages demonizing the press. 

On top of all that, the Gianforte incident proved that the USA is now pretty much okay with people who physically assault journalists holding high office. 

If this post isn't trying to be sarcastic then wow.

That's an MSM junky for you. People like you are still in denial about being okay lapping up TMZ-tier garbage instead of finding some worthwhile news with actual journalism involved.

It's like the media is attacking some underground shit for giggles comedy bar because of the words being thrown in there. Whether it's quality joke or not is irrelevant because the whole thing is as IRRELEVANT and will be forgotten in no time. Till of course someone like CNN makes a big deal about it and audiences like you make "thought provoking and intellectual" conversations about it.

I liked the part where you didn't respond to anything I said and instead decided to rip a strawman to pieces.

I didn't?

Oh well. I'm no miracle worker to make """"blind"""" people like you realize the stupidity of this whole """"national issue"""".

That's not promoting violence. Promoting violence would be the Cnn making a gif of the user, even if it's just his avatar, getting beat by another person. If that were to happen, you can call them hypocrites. What you're doing here is reaching.

In the USA, we now tolerate an elected Federal official who can't keep his cool and physically assaulted the press just a day before his election. This is an indisputable fact.

I happen to think that is a very bad thing. I also happen to think that things don't happen in a vaccuum and that we did not get here overnight. 

What you are doing, calling me names like junkie, saying Im "blind" and using cute little quotations, is not conducive to good discussion.

I could have looked at one post you made and sized you up in an instant. I could have called you just another one of ten million Internet edgelords with an anime avatar and completely discounted everything you have to say.

I didn't do that though.

Chew on that a bit. 

Except for the part where you addressed nothing I actually said, as I didn't ask who you voted for.  The fact is, you whined about me not addressing the topic, which I obviously did, but now you really aren't.  

Tolerate? Is being reserved about something and seeing how bullshit this whole overblown fiasco about some god damn tweet that absolutely means nothing is being  tolerant or even worse disensitized?

Regardless of Trump's dumb tweet, the media isn't a clean player and they just demonstrated that here. How is finding the one responsible for the gif or video going to help anyone? And why are we crying over inciting violence again? 

Last time I checked, we're all lapping up Hollywood's antagonistic portrayals with no problems. We don't question it. WWE was ok it's just entertainment. Then we make a pathetic gif, it's suddenly inciting violence and is a """"""national issue""""""".

Back the hell up please. Like what they used to say, "Don't sit too close to the T.V."

My point still stands you're indeed very blind person.

Yes. We tolerate violence from people elected serve at the Federal level. This is demonstrably true, as I said. A few weeks ago, a candidate assaulted a journalist, lied about it, and was elected into the House of Representatives the following day. He later plead guilty, but was just slapped on the wrist and welcomed with open arms into congress. Some congresspeople and conservative thought leaders even cheered what he did.

We're "crying" about violence because violence isn't something that mature adults in civilized society should do. Especially not people ushered into the highest positions of power. 

Sometimes the media gets things wrong. But they pay a price and are held accountable. See just a few weeks ago when CNN fired several journalists. Our elected officials, and the "alternative" media willfully lie and deceive on a massive scale and almost no one holds them accountable. This is a very dangerous double standard that we're facing.

I don't know what you're getting on about with Hollywood here.

I don't watch TV. I rely mostly on newspapers and following the work of favorite journalists to stay informed. I certainly don't follow CNN. That doesn't mean I can't be objective when judging their behavior though. 

It's clear that you just want to assume things about me and shout past me. I get it. That's any easy thing to do. I'd suggest that you go somewhere like 4chan though. There are a lot of people there eager to play that game with you.

The best suggestion that I can offer though, if for you to step away from the Internet. You seem kind of like an angry person. Staying on the internet too long can feed into a cycle of anger and nastiness. I don't think that's very healthy though. Anyway, best of luck.
