    There's something deeply wrong with the media's sense of proportionality when approximately 20 far-right nobodies can show up to a "rally" and it commands fervent national attention for days

        Blaming society's ills on media failures and breathless hyperbole is the flip side of blaming "division" on Russian Internet antics and agitprop. There are some purely organic causes for American society fraying e.g. slavery, genocide and poverty.

        Pointing out one instance of media failure and hyperbole isn’t to blame every societal ill on those things.

        Bingo! We came to the understanding that the mainstream media is the biggest promoter of racial division in this country. Check out the "Boston Free Speech Rally" from last year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9X2ZRB9GCU … - 30-40k demonstrated against this rally.

        Was thinking of that when forced to endure abt an hour of CNN "reporting" from Charlottesville earlier today at friend's house--remember ALL those antiwar marches (also Bernie rallies) w participation in tens or hundreds of thousands & how according to MSM they didn't even exist?

        Ever since the Trump campaign, circa 2016, fringe White nationalists suddenly became terribly important to the media. Can you think of why?

        With a skewed and unethical MSM in groupthink mode indicating hiring practices and educational system are funneling bias into news business and steering them to adopt democrat party views which are often corrosive and divisive for the nation. Free press is now groupthink bias.pic.twitter.com/gASgYfsZMm

        Perhaps we should look at it this way: hundreds of neo-nazis stayed home for fear their parents and employers would take them to task; hundreds didn't fear to show their faces as people who defy Nazism in all its forms.

        wild hypothetical stretch Actually, when there are "hundreds of neo-nazis" they DON'T stay home and counter-protesters have a hell of an afternoon - not to mention police messing things further. It's just that you didn't saw that Europe did, though

        It was a fairly consequential deal exactly a year ago and no one knows the outcome. It’s precisely the attention and mobilization that makes only 20 people show up. Last weekend was literally this, here, which addresses state power’s role in it:pic.twitter.com/3iL9T2fnXK

        Send tweet when their provocation shuts down Occupy or Vancouver justice groups in the most “liberal” city in America. or cutting deals with police so they can keep their weapons & goading police to fire off flash bangs that get at least 5 people very injured.

        You’re actually advocating the press not cover white nationalism in America in 2018. And you’re a journalist? That’s pathetic.
