I would post this

under Shepherd's article of October 17 but I'm not smart enough to put some things into comments.

I heard that there were over 100 demonstrations against the legacy media all over America but of course you won't find it on the legacy media.

Is it any wonder that journalists are despised as much as they are?*

Notice the crowd in this video. These are normal people, not some wild-eyed radicals. When the left has a march, they target businesses to damage. I will bet you that there was no property damage done to any of these businesses and that they pitched their trash in bins. Compare the pictures of the Washington Mall after the Ascension of Barry O to the same mall after the 9/12 Tea Party. The first was trashed; the second immaculate.

Once a friend and I went to Austin to run and play; checking out I joked with the desk clerk. "Did you have a Democratic convention here?"

He looked shocked. "Yes, we did. How did you know?"

"The light bulbs were missing from the table lamps." True story.

Why is it that the media is more comfortable with looters than with orderly people? Why is it that the media, which bangs the drum incessantly for green policies, including recycling, doesn't care that leftist mobs always leave huge amounts of debris?

Oh. That's right. There is a consanguinity of opinion of course, but as I've said before: the media, the left, will trash anything which won't hit them back.
