6. No one tells the press what to print except their editors. If the word is dangerous, blame the press
Edited on Sun May-25-08 03:07 AM by McCamy Taylor
I do not see what is so hard to understand about that.

If the word "assassinate" can get someone killed, who is printing it 1000 times and saying it on the air 1000 times? The nation's corporate media. Therefore, the nation's corporate media is inciting to violence,

And every time the press compared him to Jack Kennedy they did it too, because we all know what happened to Jack Kennedy. And OMG! Teddy Kennedy did it too! Because the very first thing that everyone thinks about JFK is assassination.

Remember when Obama was in Dallas? All his supporters at DU were posting their assassination fears. So they were inciting? And the Dallas police department was inciting when they went to the press and mentioned that he had no metal detectors at the door (tipping off assassins?)

And if Michelle worries about it, she is inciting?

If someone prints Clinton in the cross hairs of a rifle scope which they have been doing since the 1990s is that inciting? She should be dead about a million times by now.

What the press would love to see right now is someone take a shot at either Democrat and then have the spouse of the dead one accuse the living one of being responsible on national TV, so that the Democrats do not have a viable candidate. That would be better than 1968. The journalists would have a field day.
