"Consider: Over the last several days, Donald Trump has called for the execution of one of the nation’s top generals, threatened prosecutors, mocked the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s elderly husband, and endorsed more extra-judicial killings.
For the most part, the media shrugged."

“'I had expected every website and all the cable news shows to lead with a story about Trump demanding the execution of the highest military officer in the country,' the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg told the Wapo. 'If Barack Obama or George W. Bush had done so, I’m sure [the news media] would have been all over it.'”

@f884fa2b Convicted of molesting a woman. Civil, not criminal, but morally he belongs on a sex offender registry list.

IMO the media hasn't "shrugged," they've picked a side> mainstream media has clearly already concluded the trend of the future is fascism so they're catering to the egos of fascists
just as they catered to Reagan & Bushes when only a few comedians would admit these puppets for evil had **** for brains
media lies helped condemn generations of former middle class to poverty & media paid no price> experience tells them pandering to fascism is a no risk strategy for them

When the media amplified Trump's crazy in 2016, he won. Perhaps they are trying not to fall into that trap again.
