HuffPo swings the anti-Trump hatchet
The Huffington Post shares with most mainstream media a knee-jerk negativity about Donald Trump's wildly popular campaign. Daily we see evidence of the political chasm between news media and the public.
Ideology dictates that the MSM regularly churn out anti-Trump articles. And, utterly unencumbered by anything even approximating respectable journalistic ethics, dodgy scribes hie with slavering glee to their appointed dirty work.
This morning (12/15) brought the latest rickety example. Igor Bobic is the Huffington Post's Associate Politics Editor. His day's attempted hit on Trump was titled, "Donald Trump Rally Turns Ugly: 'Light the Motherf**ker On Fire!'
It followed the by-now tiresomely familiar MSM path: Ignore the thousands of banner-waving Trump supporters and focus only on the isolated troublemaker -- as if he were the entire proceeding.
Bobic's ill-carpentered slur-volley was subtitled, "A pattern emerges." And in that he is right, though not in the manner he intended.
The pattern?
1) A raggedy local oddball attaches himself to a throng-suffused Trump event. It's where the cameras are, after all, and said oddballs are likely not able to attract much notice otherwise.
2) Disrupt the event (respecting others' free speech rights is not at all a concern). Flop onto the floor, claiming to have been mysteriously "shoved." Wail bumper sticker slogans.
3) Shifty ink-stained wretches, or the laptop-era equivalent, will rush to proclaim as gospel any unverified charge the social justice misfit bellows, especially if it involves alleged violence or bigotry. (Long gone are the days in which journalists secured independent confirmation for stories before printing them.)
Smear cobbler Igor Bobic's Huffington Post bio notes that he was once in the employ of donkey billboard Talking Points Memo. For most lucid onlookers, that would be a manifest red flag. But Huffington Post muckety-mucks doubtless fancy it a sterling recommendation.
