For the sake of argument, I'll say there are more attacks on MAGA or Trump supporters then attacks by MAGA supporters. This would not surprise me at all. And the reason it would not is because anti-Trump people will, in my view quite understandably, associate MAGA with the hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful rhetoric and actions of one Donald J. Trump. Who among leading political figures on the left is promoting hateful, hateful, rhetoric? If one says Rep. Maxine Waters, you'll just make me laugh. Not even remotely close. I know who has the biggest soapbox in this country. Would it really be any wonder if there were a greater number of attacks on MAGA supporters, given these facts? Well, I don't think so, but that's just how I see it.

The Cult of Trump encourages hatred toward fellow Americans and foreigners both. The Cult of Trump is one ugly movement. And groups like the Proud Boys relish this hatred, and relish violence, and they contribute to it at times. Opponents understand this is the truth.

Violence cannot be condoned. Ever. But it can be seen as a natural result of what Donald Trump has unleashed in this country.

The leading political figure of all political figures, our Commander-in Chief, the Chief Executive of the executive branch of our federal government, is leading the charge where hateful rhetoric is concerned. And we can point to his actions as well, as being symbolic of his absolutely mean spirited approach to individuals and institutions that do not agree with him, at all times. Now he would strip Congress of the power of the purse.

I do not condone violence from anybody, or from any end of the political spectrum. I have been present when violent confrontations occurred at demonstrations during the Civil Rights era, and the Vietnam era. I did not condone such violence then, and I don't condone it now.
 
ABC, CBS, NBC and even PBS have a liberal bias to some degree. It's not just MSNBC. Stephen Colbert has devoted the Late Show to mocking and bashing Trump for at least 30 minutes a night for the last 2+ years whether there's any substantive content or not. Clearly there's a bias and an agenda among the commercial networks. Fox, however, is very pro-Republican and more often than not pro-Tump.

On the one hand, these networks are pandering for ratings. On the other hand, they're trying to frame and control the public discourse. They set clear boundaries on which topics can and cannot be discussed.

I wonder if there is a reason for the liberal bias.

I feel like PBS does its best to be fair to both sides.

I think it's because liberals do a very good job of making people believe that their emotional based appeal is actually an intellectual based appeal. Liberals are also very skilled at shaming people for having conservative opinions. Many conservatives are cautious about expressing their real political opinions in public because they don't enjoy being called racist or having their intelligence and morals questioned, especially when they know that these attacks are not even remotely related to the reasons that they hold the opinions that they do. This is one reason that the conservative vote often turns out to be larger than polling numbers indicate.
 
I'm glad the media has a liberal bias. Imagine if they had to give the right's brain-dead ideas the same air time as rational ideas? Imagine giving NPCD the same platform as intelligent, educated people. Absurd.
