THREAD: There are some seriously bad takes about today, about how the media causes political violence
So let's ask a basic Q
If Fox News "caused" yesterday, what caused 100+ straight nights of "mostly peaceful" riots & violence in Portland?

Secondly, the ludicrous notion that new UK media channels will somehow precipitate similar here is utterly numbskulled It's a total credit to Brexiteers that after 4 1/2 years of vote suppression there was no protest even akin to DC yesterday. We fight & win at the polls!
Talking of 'bad takes'... Condemned Trump yet?
Never gonna happen

Still waiting on the Trump condemnation.....
and Portland has to do with rioters planting bombs in Congress and smashing the place up how?
The issue has been that large sections of the media and many politicians, normalised political violence over the years if the pursuit was a ‘noble cause.’ What they have failed to appreciate is that rightly or wrongly, each side sees their respective cause as a noble one
I've long pondered this hypocritical notion of "virtuous violence"
