US sees surge in violence against journalists under Trump, report says

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The United States has seen a dramatic increase in violence against journalists since Donald Trump again took office.

‘Most of the reporters and photographers who were allegedly attacked by law enforcement officials were covering protests over the Trump administration’s efforts to deport undocumented immigrants, according to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, a non-profit that tracks such incidents.

The US press have suffered about as many assaults this year as in the previous three years combined, the organization states in a new report.

That rise is largely because whenever there is significant civil unrest, journalists cover it, which makes them more vulnerable to attacks. But anti-media rhetoric from the US president and other public leaders has also increased hostility towards journalists, which can lead to more violence, according to press freedom advocates and journalism researchers.

Trump has repeatedly lambasted the mainstream US media, baselessly accused it of lying about him and his policies and repeatedly insulted several journalists in public.

“When the president models ridicule and delegitimization, it signals to supporters that journalists are fair targets,” said Lars Willnat, a Syracuse University professor who has studied the impact of political polarization on perceptions of journalists. “That shift matters because violence becomes easier to justify once journalists are seen as political combatants rather than neutral observers.”’

Trump’s unwarranted hostility toward the press clearly contributes to the increase in violence, along with Trump’s contempt for freedom of the press.

Trump’s lies about ‘the media’ embolden Trump Cult members to engage in acts of violence against journalists; that journalists are truthful and accurate about their reporting on Trump doesn’t make journalists ‘anti-Trump.’

Indeed, Trump’s most recent attack on a free press falsely accuses the New York Times as being a national security threat – when in fact it’s Trump who is a threat to national security.

Well, he has control of CBS now, so those journalists are under control. He is getting ready to have CNN. Local journalists are too many, so no action on cops snagging the small fry, and doing with them as they may.. I am sure he would like to net The New York Times. It is all part of the fascist control of news media, important to anyone, who would want to put the country under the thumb.

Indeed, Ms. Jones, “journalists” should be shielded from criticism.

The white devil, Trump, should be impeached for such audacious behavior as to criticize leftist slugs pretending to be doing journalism.

Leftist riots are mostly peaceful™ right, despite the burning buildings, cars on fire, Molotov cocktails exploding, etc.
