“I Hate White People”: Journalists Exempt Themselves From Social Media Lynch Mobs

President Trump spent most of his time whipping up the crowd and bashing the mainstream media at his campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, PA this evening:

“WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — President Donald Trump is renewing his campaign against the media, claiming at a Pennsylvania rally that the media is the “fake, fake disgusting news” and casting journalists as his true political opponent.

Trump barnstormed Thursday night in a state that he swiped from the Democrats in 2016 and that is home to a Senate seat he is trying to place in the Republicans’ column this fall. But the race between GOP U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta and two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey took a back seat to Trump’s invectives against the media, which came amid a backdrop of antagonism to journalists from the White House and hostility from the thousands packed into a loud, overheated Wilkes-Barre arena.

“Whatever happened to the free press? Whatever happened to honest reporting?” Trump asked, pointing to the media in the back of the hall. “They don’t report it. They only make up stories.” …”

He reiterated that the “fake news” is “enemy of the people” this afternoon. This appears to be part of a larger strategy of running against the media in the midterms:

They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!

It is not a bad strategy either.

He didn’t address the Sarah Jeong situation which is even worse than was originally reported as more tweets have come to light of Commissar Jeong cheering on social media lynch mobs:

tim hunt sad. tim hunt too sad to do science. twitter criticize him and he just start crying.

@topynate What I’m getting at is that what happened to Sacco was not that bad and white America’s obsession with her is deeply telling.

Also, is there anything more tedious than media navel-gazing over “outrage mobs”? Start paying attention to what’s happening outside of your Ivy League NYC-centric circles. Look at how pile-ons operate in other contexts and get some goddamn perspective.

She did a bad tweet, she got ~ engagement ~ for it and then didn’t want to engage back. The Discourse is not being harmed because of people questioning a bad ice skating tweet, the Discourse started getting harmed with, say, the online death threats etc

Tucker Carlson had a scathing segment about it this evening:

The Huffington Post ran an article in which it claimed that anti-White racism doesn’t exist and that The New York Times should have ignored the outrage:

“The proper way to respond to a bad-faith troll campaign like the one the right-wing internet is waging on Sarah Jeong, the newest member of The New York Times editorial board, is to not respond at all, to not even listen in the first place. This is a hard thing to fathom if you’re The New York Times and your brand identity is tied to an otherworldly patrician rectitude.

But ignore the trolls you must. This includes the gleeful, snickering chuds who strip old tweets of their context and send them back out into the world. And this also includes the establishment figures like Ari Fleischer and publications like the National Review, the folks wailing about an Asian woman’s “anti-white racism,” as if there were such a thing. …”

Splinter News defended Jeong’s anti-White racism:

“Making jokes about white people isn’t the same as making racist jokes about black people, or Asian people, or Jews, or gay people, or any other historically oppressed minority. This is a very simple principle, but one that many aggrieved whites find difficult to accept. …”

Jeong’s current employer The Verge chimed in to claim that “journalists” are the real victims:

“Online trolls and harassers want us, the Times, and other newsrooms to waste our time by debating their malicious agenda. They take tweets and other statements out of context because they want to disrupt us and harm individual reporters. The strategy is to divide and conquer by forcing newsrooms to disavow their colleagues one at a time. This is not a good-faith conversation; it’s intimidation.

So we’re not going to fall for these disingenuous tactics. And it’s time other newsrooms learn to spot these hateful campaigns for what they are: attempts to discredit and undo the vital work of journalists who report on the most toxic communities on the internet. We are encouraged that our colleagues at The New York Times are standing by Sarah in the face of feigned outrage. …”

Slate also rationalizes Jeong’s anti-White racism which it attributes to “white fragility”:

“The Times’ bigotry-on-many-sides explanation is infuriating for a number of reasons. The first is that, as Splinter News’ Libby Watson notes, Jeong’s tweets were clearly jokes, not policy proposals. When people of color rail against white people, that’s often shorthand for speaking out against the existing racial structure that serves to keep white people in power. The jokes that people of color make at the expense of whites are furthermore not supported by past and present state and corporate institutions. A white American telling an Asian American to “go back to where you came from,” for instance, isn’t the same as an Asian American saying the same to a white American, even if neither individual can claim ancestral roots as America’s first residents. To claim otherwise is to be blind to the history and social dynamics of this country.

But that’s pretty much what the Times did with its explanation. It more or less validated the dangerous misconception that conservative trolls harassing a woman of color in a male-dominated field, an action that could potentially drive away even more marginalized voices, is equal to a woman of color joking about “canceling” white people, which carries no real-life weight because that doesn’t mean anything. White fragility is real, and so I’ll grant that some readers may have had their delicate skin stung by Jeong’s comments, but it’s more than likely that the very same trolls who tried to endanger Jeong’s position at the Times were acting in bad faith. The Times also ignores the fact that the current alt-right hysteria about besieged whiteness is also fuel for a violent movement that uses its power in the White House to justify inhumane and racist policies. …”

Tucker Carlson is correct that leftists share this anti-White mindset. Millennial Matt has done a great job of exposing how prevalent it is among verified users on Twitter. Congress needs to confront Jack Dorsey about the ocean of anti-White hate speech that is permitted on the platform:

This is only a small sample of it.

Tucker Carlson also had Tommy Robinson on to talk about his experience in prison and with British “journalists.” Once again, I know lots of people hate Tommy Robinson for understandable reasons, but this is one hell of a performance art project if he is faking it.

The last 24 hours have driven home the point that these “journalists” are scumbugs who cynically use charges of “racism” to bludgeon and destroy their political enemies. They don’t have any principled moral objection to “racism.” They’re not morally better than anyone else either. They are just elitists who hate and disparage White people and take pleasure in harming them. They want you to know that these taboos which they use to browbeat ordinary people don’t apply to their caste.
