Heaven Help Us When Joe Scarborough Is the Conscience of the U.S. Media

................

None of the panelists give voice to the reality that, after her opponent called for her assassination, Hillary had to wake up this morning, and get ready, and hit the campaign trail again.

None of the panelists even wonder, in passing, what it might mean for her that Donald said these things; what it might be like to have to carry on with this new and exponentially escalated threat hanging over her.

None of the panelists mentioned that Donald has now obliged Hillary to face in three debates (provided he has the courage to show up) an opponent who has openly called for her to be killed.

Even though all of these panelists condemned Donald’s words, they never actually explored what they mean for the person who was their literal target.

And this is the best we’ve got in the media. People who will condemn Donald’s exhortation to an assassination, but show zero compassion for the woman whose life he tacitly admonished someone to end.

That is not good enough. It is not good enough at all.
