Once again, @AG_Conservative comes through with a thread you’ll want to read and probably share. He states that he has asked several members of the mainstream media in private about why they don’t cover bigotry and extremism coming from Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
Take a gander.
I’ve privately asked several members of mainstream press (& others) over last week why their organizations refuse to cover bigotry and extremism from Omar/Tlaib.
Sample of answers:
“Not worth the trouble”
“Our readers don’t care”
“It will be twisted as an attack on Muslims”

Covering the actual news is not worth the trouble.
Their readers don’t care about the truth.
And if they report on their bigotry they’ll get accused of being bigots.
All believable responses … and just wow.
They all concede that it’s wrong. They concede that a Republican with white nationalist leanings would be treated differently. Doesn’t matter.
Their organizations are too scared of the far-left and don’t feel like it’s worth the fight. Can’t explain how infuriating that is.

In other words, our friends in the media created a monster they can’t control.
Sort of like what the Democratic Party has done.
Those are real quotes. And they are a good summary of things I’ve heard from over a dozen people. Some direct members of the media and others (left and right) who have had similar conversations with people in the press.
This just can’t be treated as acceptable.

Sadly it seems to be acceptable. We’re not seeing the mainstream media call Rashida out for using her grandmother or Ilhan for refusing to condemn the Palestinian Authority for banning LGBTQ activity in the West Bank.
And wow, that IS actual news.
A biased news media. You might be onto something here…

Yet they wonder why Fake News stuck…

Most journalism these days is anything but journalism.

So it’s gotten to the point where Jewish hatred is expendable and tolerable. Actual racist attacks on them are fine, but reporting the truth about a racist Muslim could be taken the wrong way so we better stand down here guys.

Do they not understand that if they prop up the intolerant Left, they will get more of the intolerant Left? When they no longer need the press to prop them up, we all know what will happen.

Yikes.
Yep. Meant to serve as a warning to others: https://t.co/09hZLueeDz

They also went after Bill Maher, calling for a boycott.
In a way, we can almost see why they’d be scared … the far-left is nothing more than a bunch of bullies.
