• The Legacy Media Is Complicit In America?s Assassination Vibes

    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Sun Apr 26 21:18:53 2026
    For the ninety seconds when members of the media were diving under
    tables at the White House Correspondents? Dinner, watching as
    politicians and cabinet members were yanked from the room by security,
    you have to wonder how many had the honest thought: did we do this?

    The repeated media normalization of assassination fantasies on the
    American left hasn?t been a quiet trend. A decade after Kathy Griffin
    posed with Donald Trump?s severed head, their attitude is the same as
    Steve Schmidt?s in the immediate aftermath of this latest attempt: to
    the extent anyone is to blame for repeated attempts at Trump?s
    assassination, it?s the man himself ? and then maybe his supporters for
    having the audacity to elect Orange Hitler twice.

    Remember the Rutgers study that found more than half of Left-of-center respondents said it would be at least somewhat justified to murder
    Donald Trump? When the ?radical Left? describes such a vast portion of
    the Democratic electorate on the question ?should the president be
    unalived,? believe them.

    The legacy media has declared who they want dead. They continue to
    platform the Left?s voices who urge his death. They rely on the violent
    Left?s bark being worse than their bite ? even as those who bay for
    blood continually show their eagerness for the exact outcome that
    motivates the president?s would-be murderers.

    Hasan Piker?s call to murder capitalists and drench the streets with
    their blood gets the New York Times and Conde Nast imprimatur. ?Your
    cool murderous communist message is such a song of the summer vibe,
    tell me more, lol.? That casual endorsement of bloodshed isn?t fringe ?
    it?s increasingly mainstream by the same people who claim democracy
    dies in darkness. Well, it almost died in the sun in Butler and West
    Palm and the bowels of the Washington Hilton. How many more cracks does
    the media want their psychotic fellow travelers to take at this? How
    long will they stand by Senate Democrats who have blocked security
    funding in the midst of war and blatant terror threats? Or should we
    just get used to a political reality where we refuse to treat violent
    rhetoric as the incitement it is?

    The WHCD attack was not an isolated incident of random violence. It was
    the predictable outcome of years of rhetoric, glorified in newsrooms, popularized on campuses, featured on podcasts, and given serious,
    intoned consideration in the pages of glossy magazines by the same
    people who claim to be standing against hate. The Left?s open
    celebration of political murder did this, and it will continue to do
    it, fueled by a legacy media that knows a click is a click, no matter
    the motivation.

    --
    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    That's almost exactly what the girlfriend said last night when we were
    watching the news reports. She wondered how many of those tuxedoed legacy corporate media simps were maybe regretting all their Nazi/Hitler rhetoric as they cowered under their banquet tables.

    Sadly, the answer is probably none of them.

    Given that it looks like the shooter was acting out because of Trump's
    rhetoric and not the media's I'm not sure what they would be feeling
    guilty for. Hell the bits I saw today had the media bending over
    backwards to protect Trump's feelings. Well, the mainstream media, but
    not the social media.

    Why cannot The Daily Wire opinion piece, BTR1701's girlfriend, and you
    all be wrong?

    That's not how it works. That's not how any of it works.

    He had already decided to commit violence. Anything he read or heard
    would have then been used to justify the action he had already decided
    upon. We don't know what he read. It could have been the Bible or
    fiction or nonfiction literature in which he found a character in a
    scenario analogous to Trump and he decided that the only solution was assasination. Just reading something doesn't radicalize someone, but
    choosing to listen to nothing other than what feeds one's resentment
    will do it.

    It could have been benign. It could have been written a long time ago.

    If I point out that you all just took moviePig's position, would you
    engage in a bit of self reflection?

    Go to your room and do not come up till you have written an essay
    defending the free press and why it makes America the greatest country
    that ever existed.

    Frank, I have a sick headache.

    Wow, talk about blaming the victim!
    Do you think women who got raped deserved it too?

    You have quite an active imagination!

    This is a simple case of the right-wing Daily Wire trying blame the MSM
    or "legacy media" (of course this doesn't include the now 30-year-old
    Fox News or other super popular conservative channels, radio shows,
    podcasts and websites) for the latest Trump assassination drama.

    Trump is like Pigpen in the Charlie Brown comics, everywhere he goes a
    cloud of doom follows him around.

    Wonder if it ever occurred to the Daily Wire if Trump acted dignified
    and presidential like just about every president who came before him
    that might not be the case.

    Yeah, he cultivates a shoot-from-the-hip persona. Not an asset here.

    This is a simple case of the right-wing Daily Wire trying blame the MSM

    Fox News or other super popular conservative channels, radio shows,
    podcasts and websites) for the latest Trump assassination drama.

    Trump is like Pigpen in the Charlie Brown comics, everywhere he goes a
    cloud of doom follows him around.

    Wonder if it ever occurred to the Daily Wire if Trump acted dignified
    and presidential like just about every president who came before him
    that might not be the case.

    Yeah, he cultivates a shoot-from-the-hip persona. Not an asset here.

    And the above-mentioned outlets never hurled their share of personal
    insults at Biden and Obama did they. Now Sweet Karoline is giving press conferences blaming this entirely on "Democrats and the left-wing."

    The Legacy Media Is Complicit In America's Assassination Vibes
    The legacy media continues to platform the voices on the Left who urge >>>President Trump's death.

    Fox News or other super popular conservative channels, radio shows,

    It's a simple case of The Daily Wire blaming freedom of the press for distributing hateful rhetoric, and hateful rhetoric in and of itself radicalizing the perpetrator enough that he attempted assasination.

    Why is moviePig logic perfectly acceptable to you when moviePig does it
    but not when The Daily Wire does it?

    Trump is like Pigpen in the Charlie Brown comics, everywhere he goes a
    cloud of doom follows him around.

    Wonder if it ever occurred to the Daily Wire if Trump acted dignified
    and presidential like just about every president who came before him
    that might not be the case.

    We've literally had past presidents assasinated or victims of
    assasination attempts. Were James Garfield and Ronald Reagan, or even
    Gerald Ford, victims due to being undignified?
