I predicted on my podcast Monday morning about what some of the mainstream Conservatives would be talking about on their programs that coming day, and unfortunately I was right. I’ve realized that many in Conservative media seem to take their lead from the liberal media whom we know lies, is biased, and works on behalf of the Democrat party, but some Conservatives still trust them for show prep, and yesterday was a great example of what I mean by that. Let’s pretend only two events happened in the last 72 hours, one event was a man named Willem Von Spronsen, who firebombed an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington, and left a manifesto where he uses the same rhetoric about immigration facilities as a sitting U.S. Congresswoman, the other situation is Donald Trump wrote a mean tweet about U.S. Congresswomen who have used hateful rhetoric about him and his supporters, immigration officers, and spread complete lies about detention facilities, those are your two situations, which is more important? If you’re one of the main stream Conservative hosts that I’m upset with, it was Trump’s tweets, because CNN was upset about that, as was MSNBC, sure those of us who are intelligent know that they certainly wanted to talk about mean tweets over a leftist trying to blow up an ICE facility.

The premise of some of these people’s argument is that Trump diverted attention away from that ICE facility attack because of his tweets, but let me ask an honest question to those Conservatives: should I trust that the media would report accurately, fairly, or even at all about the attack against an ICE facility? I doubt they could honestly answer yes, but the entire premise of their argument is that they want us to believe the media would report on Leftist violence (for the first time in ever) and that they would report fairly on the matter educating the American people in the process about the dangers of the rhetoric used by Democrats, I wont hold my breath. The reason why I’m upset about this is because it’s lazy, and it’s the reason why we see many on the Right feeling disaffected because they aren’t hearing their concerns echoed by Conservative commentators save a small few, so they feel like they have nobody supporting them or their families.

I don’t want to live in a country where someone’s tweets are more of a news story than someone trying to burn down an ICE facility and more than likely kill the officers inside, that’s the world the Left wants, and unfortunately some Conservative commentators are helping the Left build that world.
