Why mainstream media hysteria is increasing
2018-06-25
[AmericanThinker] The past week featured well-known cable news hosts in tears over the separation of children from their parents at the border, a practice that was common in the Obama administration, drawing little notice and no weeping. And every day in the United States, when the head of a single-parent household is arrested, children of American citizens are separated from their family and placed in the custodial care of others.

Were Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell entirely ignorant of this reality? Was last week the first time they realized that parental criminality breaks up families?

I sincerely doubt that either of them was so ignorant of the realities of the criminal justice system. So what accounts for their total loss of composure on air?

History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce.

You'd think the good leftists would have read Marx.

#7  Dear Legacy Infotainment Enterprises, lines are being drawn. The reason so many are not listening to you is because of those lines. If you had a modicum of knowledge you would understand the last time this happened on this scale was around 1860. So, keep pushing that hate. While history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it follows patterns, like the flow of a river.

#5  Gorb, it's not about winning elections for them -- it's about making sure their zampolit know they have the Right Thoughts. It's about keeping their status, and especially keeping their over-paid sinecures.

#4  Maybe they are beginning to realize their bags really are full of wind.

#1  But what accounts for the hysteria that results in loss of self-control?

Because they think they have an election-winning issue and they think it's working?
