Here's what the media gets wrong. Imagine instead of them being white, that they are brown. Now instead of them being Christians, they are Muslims. Now consider HOW you would cover that scenario and if the reason you aren't covering them that way has to do with your own personal

called terrorism and he a Christian Extremist? If you can't answer those questions without giving some bullshit excuse, then you are allowing your own white male perceptions and biases to color your coverage of events. Supremacists are Terrorist, they intend on terrorizing the

people around them. Supremacist, Nazis, Atomwaffen, Vanguard, RAW are all Extremist, and generally Christian Extremist. Why in this nation the media cannot call white men extremist when they are, and terrorist when they are, is one of the biggest issues we face and it's an issue

More diverse newsrooms would fix this right quick, btw. White journalists telling other white journalists how to cover white supremacists is fascinating and all, but more diverse newsrooms would also be something to try.

Endless coverage of tweets, rallies, empty podiums, a blank check to call in to any show, & hiring pundits to appear and spread false info has a way of desensitizing and serving as a free loud speaker for misinformation and hate. So glad to see CNN is aware of this...

And yet, the media's obsession with appearing to provide "balanced" coverage of "all sides" ensures that the tiny sliver of nazi nationalists continue to punch far above their weight class. Racism & hate is not guaranteed under the 1st Amendment.

You must have been so, so happy when you found that so you could deflect from the actual Nazis walking around chanting Trump’s name today.

So it's okay to beat up reporters, as long as you agree with the people doing it?

For someone who is ostensibly a journalist you sure do have a poor grasp of logical inquiry. But then again, that’s probably why you don’t work for a real news organization.

I'm not a journalist and I've never claimed to be one. Now: Why do you think it's okay to beat up reporters?

I’m glad we can both agree that your shitty bloviating isn’t journalism. https://pjmedia.com/columnist/jim-treacher/ …

And what kind of coward retweets all of their own comments to get their waterhead brigade to bring reinforcements?

Calm down and answer the question: Why do you think it's okay to beat up reporters?
