The mainstream media is generally oversensitive and prone to hysteria over any criticism of it.

We’re talking about the same people who decided that being told “learn to code” was a hate crime that demanded immediate social media censorship.

Being called the “enemy of the people” was a death threat and, as an NBC News op-ed insisted, “The president’s dangerous rhetoric has consequences. It’s only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.”

And yet from the media’s blasé attitude, you wouldn’t know that two anti-Trump Muslim men were busted for planting a firebomb under a news van in Utah last week. And a former teachers’ union legislative director was released after shooting at an ABC affiliate.

Had conservatives done either of those, not to mention both, within the space of a week or two, and there would have been a massive media freakout with warnings that ‘journalists’ were on the endangered species list.

Had conservatives shot up a TV station or tried to blow up a news van, it’s the only thing you’d hear about. For weeks. If not months.

But it’s the ‘wrong sort of people’ doing it. It’s leftists. And so the media just doesn’t talk about it.

Either the media’s really not that sensitive to violence or it’s willing to take one for the team or the party. Or, it really does believe that radical violence, even directed at it, is speech, while speech it opposes is violence.
