Thankfully we have social media to get this story out, if they had social media back in the 1930's hitler and his brown shirts might have been dog food before he really got started
The fact that the press is not reporting on the continuing violence at Donald Trump's rallies reflects an acceptance that is troubling.
Once again, one has to sympathize with news people as they are confronted with Trump’s steady bursts of venom, deception and ignorance. If they covered them all equally, would there be any space left for Syria, North Korea or the Clinton emails? It’s a genuine professional problem, and I sympathize with the editors who have to make the daily news judgments as to which dog-biting men are worth more attention than others.
Still, the danger for journalism, as also for the republic, is evident. The new normal is a grotesque abnormality. If outbursts of violence, as of venom, fade into the hush of background noise, the deplorables have won. Journalists have to stop taking mob violence for granted.
