Someone tell the AP hacks that “snarky memes and trendy videos” from people they disagree with aren’t the driving forces behind political unrest and violent extremism.

Take discomfort in knowing media has it all figured out, however inaccurately.

Some Twitter users are treating the AP article with beguiling snark and mockery.
If the administration farted, the AP would report that it wasn't actually a fart, but white supremacy so potent that it caused a ripple in the space-time continuum that caused an airpocket to burst behind their supreme leader.
And the smell was just fake news. https://t.co/mEx7nNjXr3

They have to be joking, right? Nothing about an article that takes aim at one side of the partisan madness without mention of the other is genuinely believable.
Good thing a conservative Supreme Court justice wasn’t just the target of an attempted assassination 24 hours ago… Which was definitely not spurred on by Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, etc. riling up their base. https://t.co/ZNVVpoOPB5

One way to rile people up is to tell them white nationalists are plotting their demise in secret code online.
You might even say such an effort could lead to violent extremism.
