Curious? Is the media responsible as trump is suggesting?

No. People are responsible for their own actions. I don't even blame the democrat leaders who got on TV and told their party to start harassing republicans in public. The ones who do make their own choices.

Curious? Is the media responsible as trump is suggesting?

Not responsible, but I do feel the way that media on both sides slant their stories contributes to the narratives that crazy people come up with. The news(again on both sides) should have a responsibility of presenting facts not shaped by personal opinion, but when was the last time that happened?

 

[Septic]

My point is this, the left only cries out about tragedy if it can be linked to a white man, the nra, it Trump. This board is exactly like social media, and the news. Example, Dylan roof shoots up a black church, outrage from liberals. Muslim man shoots up gay night club, crickets from liberals. Now before you say bullcrap, go read the threads. Wrong should be condemned no matter who does it, but the left is generally silent, unless the guilty person is one of the 3 I mentioned.

Peter Sweden couldn't agree more.

Welp, this current president is revered by his own fans for his "trolling" skillz.

And the left never trolls? What would you call HRC's "basket of deplorables" comment if not trolling?

Curious? Is the media responsible as trump is suggesting?

Certainly. As I posted earlier, even if Trump went silent and stuck to the script, the path of the media would not change, continuing with their barrage of a negative campaign against Trump.

I feel like you said "not responsible" but then followed it with some reasons why they're kinda responsible.

It's not really an open-ended question.

Folks are rushing in here to say that "not trumps fault for crazy folks", but were dead ass silent when trump was blaming the media yesterday.

It's a fascinating thing to behold.

She wasn't trolling, she absolutely meant it.

Irrespective of your one bad example - you keep trying to change the subject. If you agree that it's bad behavior but then to go on to qualify it "because <insert reason>", you're undermining your own argument. Many of trumps supporters see it as a positive that he's trolling, the division it sows is funny to them.

 

[Septic]

So personal responsibility is only a thing to you when it's affected by the media and not by the leader of the free world.

Interesting.

I don't think Trump should be blamed for the actions of a lunatic, but that doesn't mean I disagree that he needs to curtail his rhetoric. Same idea applies to the media. I don't believe them responsible, but that doesn't mean they should continue to stoke the political fires rather than simply report unbiased news.

That's not what I said or implied.

The guy was a body builder and an Indian. I'm blaming roid rage plus too much firewater.

I support the office of the President, that does not mean I blindly support whatever Trump does. And Hillary was absolutely trolling with the comment, looking for reaction.

Lol this thread is a great read for a Friday afternoon.

Batshit crazy people gonna be batshit crazy people.

This incident wound up exactly where most anybody figured it would. An extremist unstable person. Any trying to pin his actions on any external influence just seems ridiculous.

We need EXTREME VETTING

In your opinion, who has a deeper responsibility - the president to represent all American's or the media to report the news without bias?

I understand these are inherently different - I'm just curious as to which carries more weight in your opinion.

 

[volfanhill]

that to me would be the only thing keeping him from facing charges of terrorism. even then I can see the argument for it. motive will be important. what was he trying to accomplish?

It’s still terrorism

Why should it be about designating who has "deeper" responsibility? Are you wanting to do a pie chart showing how much responsibility should be designated where?

If we play your game, and say as POTUS that Trump has a "deeper" responsibility, does that exonerate anyone else from responsibility they themselves might hold?

Calm down, it's not a trick question. Which one do you fancy being more important, personally?

Edit - I see you answered. Thanks.

Does anyone think these captions from CNN are helping the polarization of the country at all?

BTW, these aren't doctored. these are screenshots directly from YT

Is either headline the list bit untrue?

I disagree. Repeatedly this week I have heard left wing commentators say that Trump has a chance to flip the script. That he can be presidential.

Not their fault he is literally incapable of that.

 

[luthervol]

He already does.

lol.....About one tenth as much as Obama was a unifier.
