If the media keeps this up, someone’s gonna get killed

[night_son]

To be clear, Fox News is NOT my go-to source. I don’t have a go-to source, but I happen to agree with this article. If you don’t believe the media has lost it, you’re probably one of their victims.

Here's a quote from Rush Limbaugh: "If the media keeps this up, they're going to get somebody killed."
He's right. The language used in the immigration debate has been so extreme that it does indeed encourage violence.
"Nazi" ... "concentration camps" … "child internment camps" … "slave labor" --we've heard them all. The people using these terms should think carefully about what they're doing. A disagreement on immigration should not be an excuse to label your opponent as the most despicable human being on Earth. They are fighting words, and they will be used to justify violence.
The left doesn't need much encouragement.... Tuesday night, a socialist mob ambushed the Homeland Security secretary. It was ugly. And one of the activists was an employee of the department of justice!
The thug-like antifa organization is now tweeting the names of ICE agents.
Occupy Wall Street -- remember them? -- promotes the killing of ICE agents in a gory cartoon.
Let's be clear what's going on here: The left, and their media allies, are whipping up hysteria. It's based on hate. Hatred for our president. It's wrong. And it's dangerous. It's a terrible thing for America.

If media keep this up, they're going to get somebody killed: Varney — Fox News

The greatest current danger seems to lie in the hands of radical leftist celebrities with large followings. Peter Fonda was also calling for 90 million Americans to assemble in protest against our POTUS. Seems to me he wasn't asking for peaceful resistance. The Nazi card played recently also rings dangerous as it provides extremely prejudiced justification for direct action. The left is weaponizing the most polarizing imagery, soundbites and talking points as a base for grinding axes in the hearts of tens of millions. Strange and unbalanced times ahead.

There is no valid comparison between Rush Limbaugh and the ENTIRE Leftist Media machine. He is one guy with a radio show. Weigh that against the enormous reach and power of TV network news and social media. Give me a break.

Funny, folks want to blame the media when chat rooms and message boards like this one allow and facilitate discussions about murdering and shooting people.

And what the liar omits, is that it all revolves around what was said in the media. Funny how you trolls leave that out, huh?

 

[Camp]

Limbaugh spent decades working to bring our country to this point. Now he’s hoping he doesn’t have to reap what he has sown.

As for the media’s treatment of Trump; he’s the one who set the table.

No good reason for the media to deem Trump “kidnapper of children” like Vanity Fair did. No good reason to put all the blame on Trump for separating families when others deserve blame too. No good reason to compare the border crisis to Nazi Germany when it’s literally not the same thing whatsoever. It’s not the media’s job to influence you to think a certain way and that’s what they’re trying to do and for many (you included) their rhetoric has worked. Their job is to report the news. Can you honestly tell me they’re not going beyond that in their coverage of Trump?

The media has A LOT of power. You and other Trump haters are proof of just how horrible the consequences of that power can be. Your hate for a man you don’t know and will never meet boggles my mind and a lot of it is based on hearsay and the opinions of strangers.

Too bad you hate the free press and free speech so much. It's an American thing. Why do you hate America so much?

 

[impuretrash]

Can't go on like this much longer. Lots of people are gonna die. We've allowed ourselves to grow fat and weak and squandered everything our forefathers bled for.

Rush sucks as a human in the first place, why would you donate anytime to this man that has been proven a liar and Charleton several times over in the thirty years I have known about his antics.

If he could only be as good as CNN right?

The press has not been free in ages. The press is owned--bought and paid for-- and most every outlet is biased one way or the other. If the press simply reported the news without spin I'd agree with you. That rarely happens. Nowadays most left leaning news outlets clearly seek to fan the flames of just about every divisive social meaning political issue identifiable. The modern press fans flames. You know it. I know it.

They all suck in my eyes so I do not patronize.

You’ve obviously never listened to Limbaugh a day in your life.

Listened to plenty. He’s spent decades radicalizing you all and convincing you that anybody woth a different opinion is a traitor that wants to destroy the nation. All the partisanship we have now, Rush was a key player in creating it.

Here is what one group would say about a free press:


“It is the press, above all, which wages a positively fanatical and slanderous struggle, tearing down everything which can be regarded as a support of national independence, cultural elevation, and the economic independence of the nation.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf


“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.”
― Vladimir Lenin, Revolution!: Sayings of Vladimir Lenin

And then there is another:


“No government ought to be without censors: and where the press is free, no one ever will. If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defence. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting out the truth either in religion, law, or politics. I think it as honorable to the government neither to know, nor notice, it’s sycophants or censors, as it would be undignified and criminal to pamper the former and persecute the latter.”
― Thomas Jefferson, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 24: 1 June-31 December 1792


"To the press alone, chequered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression." - James Madison

So just curious... what side are you on? Who does Trump sound more like?

 

[TheOldSchool]

One thing is certain, liberals thrive on seeing people hurt if it helps their cause. Of that is no doubt.

Look at you, about to cry about the public backlash against Trump kidnapping children, and completely mum on Trump kidnapping children. Pathetic.

Keep the lies going. Perhaps by tomorrow you can instigate another mass shooting.

Rush isn't as good as he used to be...

When he was hopped up on pain pills.

That he was getting illegally making him a criminal.

He decided he didn’t like that law, you know, we are picking the laws we want to follow now, thanks idiot liberals

Because that ranks him much higher on the Honesty Scale than you?

Nope, he just has a low blow way of separating money from fools.

He WAS one guy with a radio show. Now he’s part of a massive propaganda network.

Informative post rendered completely inane by your POTUS is a Nazi insinuation. The modern press so obviously sabotages both sides on a 24/7 basis. The press is and always has been a political apparatchik. You're just unhappy because a democrat isn't sitting in the white house facing policies sabotaged by right leaning media. Time to autorotate in on the Nazi name calling.

You lie! It's all about the media! Where do you think scum like you get your stories from so you can be outraged? You liars are the ones fanning this bullshit! You!

Lenin isn't a Nazi. I didn't say anything other than asking a question and passing along the wisdom of these leaders. Why can't you just answer the question and be honest about it?

What statement in my post was a lie? The post is actually comprised of two undeniable facts followed by a subjective conclusive opinion. Not a lie in the entire post.

Fair enough.

I'll assume your innocence in posting the mustachioed guy up top to be viewed first.

That being said, our POTUS has repeatedly criticized openly dishonest reporting in a manner that is similar to your comrade Lenin's quote, by exercising his own right to free speech. The day he orders the asshole media shot for exercising freedom of speech and press you may have a valid point on your hands. However, comparing Donald Trump to a murderer of millions by leading the reader of your post to said conclusion by insinuation again renders your entire post inane, and I'm being nice about it. You do history and the memory of those who perished under Soviet rule a great disservice.
