On 8/24, CNN's John Blake smeared the 60 million plus hard - working and tax-paying Americans who'd voted for President Trump.
"White supremacists by default: How ordinary people made Charlottesville possible," his essay was titled.
Blake didn't bother to actually examine the differing but valid perspectives found apart from the rancid Nazi and Antifa extremes. Nor did he acknowledge that sincerely good-hearted, well-intentioned citizens might simply disagree on matters at hand, but yearn equally for just resolution.
Instead, Blake lazily opted for a shortcut, dismissing without due consideration his every ideological opponent as enabling the commonly despised and unAmerican foulness of bigotry.
Of course, such disregard occludes necessary, exhaustive discussion, and unfairly disqualifies all citizens innocently holding contrary viewpoints.
Blake's article was itself an expression of bigotry, founded on a falsehood. Which made it appropriate for CNN.
