As Democrats - or at least people hired by groups funded by George Soros - break windows, burn cars, and assault suspected Trump supporters in liberal cities around the country, neither President Barack Obama or Presidential-wannabe Hillary Clinton have admonished their violent followers to return to peaceful protests.
Only Senator Bernie Sanders has.
But there is another danger to public safety President Obama and Presidential-wannabe Clinton have not addressed.
That's the imminent danger to those who work in, or near, America's newsrooms.
The American media, now exposed as frauds, liars, and incompetent pollsters - in the case of the New York Times, which has belatedly apologized, admittedly so - are doubling down, and are so much in denial of reality they are on the edge of a psychotic break.
It's only a matter of time before one of them goes postal, and comes to work with a gun, shooting the innocent receptionists, secretaries, advertising sales reps, and cleaning crews who are unfortunate enough to be working when the final wires snap.
So far they are concentrating their ire on one individual, former Breitbart publisher Stephen K. Bannon. President-elect Donald Trump has chosen him to be the chief strategist for the White House, a position for which associates say he is better suited than the chief of staff position that went to former RNC chair Reince Preibus, because Bannon is said to favor casual dress and a looser schedule than the chief of staff position would require.
But casual dressing is not what the establishment media is attacking Bannon for. They claim - with no evidence - that Bannon is a "white nationalist"...or maybe encouraged or mainstreamed "white nationalists"...or maybe supported something they call the "alt right" which they then associate with white nationalists. Or something. Anyway, the party that earns about half of its campaign donations, after Wall Street of course, by kidnapping poor black children and selling them to National Education Association and American Federation for Teachers bureaucrats in exchange for candidate support, is as usual screaming that the people who beat them at the ballot box are racists.
Bannon doesn't really need me to defend him. Bernard Marcus, of the Republican Jewish Committee has already publicly said he knows Bannon and he is no anti-semite. I'm a lowly gay libertarian writer at Breitbart and have barely met Bannon, though I have been to an event at his home.
If you check any of the TV or print stories denouncing Stephen Bannon and Breitbart, you will mainly see the headlines of two articles cited over and over. You won't see the articles quoted. You won't find a link to them so you can read them. You won't learn who the authors are. You will just be told the headlines, and be expected to conclude from that that Breitbart is an oceanic cesspool of bigotry with Stephen Bannon as its slimy Poseidon.
The first article is entitled "Bill Kristol - Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew". I'm personally not a fan of headlines that discuss people's religion, but what the smear merchants aren't telling you is that the author of this piece, David Horowitz, is himself a Jew and a constant critic of anti-Semitism. He simply thinks Kristol inserts himself into elections in ways - helping recruit independent conservative Evan McMullin to run for President, for example - that are rarely helpful for Republicans. But the smear merchants on TV or newspapers want you to assume that this article was anti-semitic.
The second article was headlined "Gay Rights Have Made Us Dumber It's Time to Get Back in the Closet" and the author is one of Breitbart's gay contributors (I am among them), its most famous gay editor and contributor, the satirist and provocateur Milo Yiannopolous. One can easily not like all of Milo's shtick, though he's very clever and very funny and almost exclusively targets the intellectually dishonest academic and media types conducting the smear merchantry against Stephen Bannon. But what none of the smear merchants will tell you is that this inflammatory headline is to an article written by a very openly gay man criticizing parts of the gay establishment.
The media have few tools. Mainly all they know how to do is scream "racism" (or in the monotone hectoring of Presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton "racist... sexist... homophobic... xenophobic... Islamaphobic..." What they actually fear is that a "paradigm shift" is happening, to use the academic jargon of the 70s, or we are at a "tipping point," to use the jargon of a few years ago. They have been the American Pravda for decades, the well remunerated propaganda class of the ruling political elite.
It is projection that journalist's journalist Jack Shafer labels Breitbart to be Pravda in the pages of the DNC house organ Politico.
Now a populist politician has beaten their elite candidate. And he has his own media allies. They are shut out. Trump is already tweeting rebukes at them when they lie.
They have no idea what to do.
So the only thing they can do is to slime and decry as a racist the person they most fear, their media rival, Stephen Bannon, who helped Andrew Breitbart build an alternative to the mainstream media, who then beat them in an election they were sure they would win, and who is now a chief strategist in the enemy administration-elect.
