As Twitchy told you earlier, Max Boot is blaming “right-wing media” for helping to create “the environment in which right-wing terrorism has become far more commonplace”:
There is partisanship on both sides of the political spectrum, but no left-wing outlets propagate extremism as successfully or widely as conservative media do. Conservatives are being brainwashed in an “echo chamber” for “rumor and conspiracy theory.” Me: https://t.co/GVsXBolSt9

CNBC’s John Harwood couldn’t agree more. In fact, he’d actually like to take it a little bit further:
this is 100% correct. most important: extremism on the right has gotten baked into the entire movement and GOP – WH, Congress, Fox, Limbaugh, Breitbart, CPAC etc https://t.co/Kh1BmekLko

We’re honestly not sure how clowns like John Harwood can possibly expect to be taken seriously with asinine takes like that.
I see the Left has gotten the memo to refer to everything non-liberal as "extremist."
Old playbook.

So predictable. And so very, very stupid.
This is 100% BS https://t.co/g31N9GDZCI

Everyone knows it’s BS.

Oh man I must have missed the memo where I was supposed to be an extremist now.

Local liberal media member blames world's problems on fox News. It's as predictable as the sun rising in the east.

Keep covering yourself in glory, John Harwood. It’s really doing wonders for your credibility.
Oh Harwood, do you really have to try to be such a partisan ass? Fringe left and right are equally abhorrent. Putting you in the "fringe left" category after that tweet.

This 100% fake news. I always kinda shook my head when the president says the press are the enemy of the people but when I read crap like this it makes me believe he may be on to something.

You can toss Harwood into the “not even biased, just a Democratic operative” pile too
