Democrats Act to Protect Their Most Loyal Constituency -- The Media

JUST IN: Dem lawmakers reintroduce bill to protect journalists because of Trump's "climate of extreme hostility" https://t.co/7Oz2Ew72Jd pic.twitter.com/nDMGaazZ4E

Joe Concha:

Three Democratic lawmakers re-introduced a Journalist Protection Act that intends to designate "certain attacks on those reporting the news" as a federal crime.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).

..

"The Journalist Protection Act makes it a federal crime to intentionally cause bodily injury to a journalist affecting interstate or foreign commerce in the course of reporting or in a manner designed to intimidate him or her from newsgathering for a media organization," reads the Tuesday press release.
...
The lawmakers said they were introducing the bill as a response to President Trump's "climate of extreme hostility" towards the media.
"Both before and since taking office, President Trump has blatantly stoked a climate of extreme hostility toward the press," the release said. "He has called the press 'the enemy of the American people,' and described mainstream media outlets as 'a stain on America.'"
"Such antagonistic rhetoric encourages others to think, regardless of their views, that violence against journalists is more acceptable."

Meanwhile, the media pushes the lie that Trump is an actual traitor and agent of Russia, which seems to me like something that could "encourage others to think, regardless of their views, that assassination attempts are more acceptable."

The media also excuses and defends antifa attacks against conservatives, which, again, could "encourage others to think, regardless of their views, that beating people in the streets with deadly weapons are more acceptable."

For example: CNN's Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon both repeatedly justified Antifa's attacks on conservatives. This led to Antifa threatening Tucker Carlson's family at their home at night.

As far as I know, neither man has apologized for having "encouraged" others to think such tactics were acceptable. In fact, both have denied that their justifications of Antifa violence and harassment were justification.

Will the Democrats be passing a resolution condemning such mainstreaming of extremist violence?

Maybe they can dilute it down to merely say, "Herebeit resolved, bad people r bad."

But the media need to be protected. They're allowed to direct violent wrath towards their enemies, you know. They're providing a public service.

You, on the other hand? You're acceptable losses. You're collateral damage. You're acceptable casualties of war.

Meanwhile, Democrat All-Star Ilhan Omar has totally learned her lesson about the dangers of dehumanizing people you don't like.

Fox News’ Guerin Hays asks Ilhan Omar about last week's Politico article: “Do you think President Obama is the same as President Trump?”

Omar: “Absolutely not. … One is human the other is not”

Omar's dehumanizing remarks come after she was slammed last week for anti-Semitism pic.twitter.com/zFvi4KoicY

I don't know about the rest of infowars, but Paul Joseph Watson isn't a douche. I got the sense he just barely tolerates Alex Jones' conspiracy nonsense, and Paul has done some solid reporting over the years on non-conspiracy stuff.

That being said, he hasn't posted to Youtube in about 2 weeks. Made an announcement about being demonitized (censorship, anyone?), and he's made mention of frequently being threatened on twatter and elsewhere.

I don't know what makes journolists so special, but yeah, actual threats of violence probably hit right leaning types more than lefties.

294 Henriette Caillaux shot and killed the editor of Le Figaro in cold blood after he exposed the fact that she'd carried on an affair with her husband during his previous marriage.

After an ugly, public trial the jury acquitted Henriette. Because everyone knows a press man is a low down dirty dog, and when a decent woman pops a cap in his lousy ass nobody really gives a flying fuck.

That's the proper societal attitude toward pressmen.

Not this.

297 "Both before and since taking office, President Trump has blatantly stoked a climate of extreme hostility toward the press," the release said. "He has called the press 'the enemy of the American people,' and described mainstream media outlets as 'a stain on America. Such antagonistic rhetoric encourages others to think, regardless of their views, that violence against journalists is more acceptable."

I have said it before and I will say it again - D-Lamp was absolutely spot on for how the MFM should be treated. Nothing that has happened since he left has convinced me otherwise.

So, you can have mens and women's leagues, which keep the two apart, or you can have men only leagues, because the women are gonna get sick of having their lights punched out every night. Choose.

It's a lot like the controversy over unisex bathrooms - men don't give a shit. Men will drop trou in the middle of the street if they know they can get away with it. Keeping the sexes apart is all about protecting the WOMEN, not the men!
