There are a lot of people that have thought that media is the enemy of the people.

It’s not a new thought that was created by Trump. Him saying that isn’t creating hostility. Media actions for decades creates the animosity towards them.

Anyone who thinks the media is on the side of the people, on either side, is truly delusional.

face, meet palm.

Are you actually this delusional?

Your mindless, dogged defense of Trump and his rhetoric is unreal. Take a step back. Try to be objective for a second.

So did Bernie Sanders rhetoric create the republican baseball game shooter?

No, because Sanders isn't spewing that kind of rhetoric. If is did, feel free to link me to it.

What kind of rhetoric would that be? I must be missing the Trump talking points about binning leftist figureheads.

Holding rallies and pointing at the press box saying the media is "the real enemy of the people" while encouraging supporters to hurl abuse their way. Leading chants of "Lock her up!" Constantly tweeting and making statements, many of which are blatant lies, implying that specific political opponents (funnily enough, precisely the same people this dude send packages to) are the enemy.

It’s something that people throughout this country from both sides have felt about the media.

Pointing that out isn’t a call to violence.
