The blinding hypocrisy of the right's #StopTheBias campaign

The GOP

refuses to debate election opponents,

blacklists & slanders reporters,

maliciously and arbitrarily strips press credentials,

puts reporters in pens where they are subject to verbal and physical threats,

threatens Democratic politicians (inciting pipe bombers, wink-wink coordinating with the NRA to circulate threatening videos),

calls the media "enemy of the people,"

arrests constituents (even kids and grannies) visiting GOP offices,

never answers their (taxpayer-funded) phones,

all but cheered the murder of reporter Jamal Khashoggi,

uses official accounts to publish the names and addresses of private citizens who are critics (Red Hen Restaurant),

refuses to condemn attacks on media (Capital Gazette),

gives press credentials to white supremacists and propaganda outlets,

but claim THEY are being unfairly shut out.

Really.
