Stirring up Hate
John Nolte, Breitbart News, provides evidence that the Left Wing Media groups are inciting the public towards violence against President Donald Trump and his supporters (https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/08/06/nolte-heres-proof-the-establishment-media-encourage-violence-against-trump-supporters/).
He offers the following proof that the main stream media encourages violence.
First, the media seeks to protect itself from violence against them as if their suffering is more significant than the suffering they cause Trump.
At some point, calling — when you call a group of people you otherize them the way he’s doing with the press, calling them sick, sort of dehumanizing them, it makes violence against the press easier to rationalize for some. That’s the concern that many news organizations have right now.

I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists ‘the enemy of the people.’ I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.
I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt.
[Trump’s] treating the press corps as his opponent because it’s convenient and creates a… perceived enemy for him to attack. That really is a hate movement and the results are what we see at these rallies. … And because he’s holding rallies more and more often, we are seeing it more and more often. And this is why reporters like Acosta are saying that ‘this is worrisome, someone might get hurt.’
But, the media has its own problems with vicious rhetoric.
Second, the media makes sure its mindless followers get the message that just as it was o.k. to kill Nazis, its o.k. to kill Trump followers.
Nolte adds the following snips:
CNN others Trump and declares him the enemy by calling him racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist.
CNN others Trump supporters and declares them the enemy by calling them racist, racist.
CNN dehumanizes Trump by calling him an “animal” and “crazy” and “racist” and “mentally unfit.”
CNN dehumanizes and declares all Trump supporters the enemy by saying their vote for Trump was driven by “racial anxiety.”
NBC News others Trump and declares him the enemy by calling him racist, racist, racist, racist…
NBC News dehumanizes Trump supporters and declares them the enemy by calling them racist and a “Nazi” and a “Nazi” again.
NBC News others Trump supporters, dehumanizes them, and declares them the enemy by calling them “Nazis” and racist.
CNN whips up hostility against Trump and declares him the enemy by calling him “unhinged,” “unmoored,” and “un-American.”
CNN whips up hostility against Trump voters by calling them racist.
If the media keeps this up, someone is going to get hurt.
