normally I'm not a "the press is responsible for trump" person, but it is incredibly jarring how little attention his more violent and disturbing comments have been getting in mainstream press coveragenormally I'm not a "the press is responsible for trump" person, but it is incredibly jarring how little attention his more violent and disturbing comments have been getting in mainstream press coverage

Yesterday, Trump raised the prospect of deploying the military against his political opponents. Extraordinary by any historical measure. Here are the front pages of 8 of the leading newspapers in the US the morning after. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Democracy dies in silence.

Front page of the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal with no mention of Trumpā€™s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of LA Times and Boston Globe with no mention of Trumpā€™s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and USA Today with no mention of Trumpā€™s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer and NY Times with no mention of Trumpā€™s threats to use the military against his political opponents.

Why is it so jarring? Normalizing that pig and his racism has been the norm for years now.

I think we underestimate the lack of outrage by the public. The fact that 90% of Americans aren't rejecting trump is the real problem.

I'm not going to cry 2 tears when Trump finds a way to shutdown WaPo (because Bezos has more money) and turns NYT into some kind of Baghdad Bob state organ. They made their bed they get to lie in it

This is funny to me because all I see are comments about what people consider, in your terms, ā€œā€¦ his more violent and disturbing commentsā€, and not nearly enough about his very practicable strategies or praiseworthy stances that make him a great candidate for office.
