If you think we have a free press, compare and contrast these two headlines.
New York Times: - Trump's Unparalleled War on a Pillar of Society: Law Enforcement
Washington Post: - Once the party of law and order, Republicans are now challenging it
Here's your free press. You can read the same propaganda at the New York Times or the Washington Post. Some of the words will be changed to match the house style.
"Republican leaders' open defiance last week of the FBI over the release of a hotly disputed memo revealed how the GOP, which has long positioned itself as the party of law and order, has become an adversary," the media blob bellows.
"Defiance" is an interesting word choice. Elected officials don't defy unelected officials because they aren't subordinate to them. Congress can't defy the FBI. The FBI can defy Congress.
At least that's how it works in America. It is how it works in this anti-Russian Russia in which the left uses the power of the government to spy on its political opponents and denounce them as traitors.
Meanwhile the leftist law enforcement lynch mob which cheered when Obama's community organizer branch of the DOJ was aiding race riots aimed at police is now lecturing conservatives on respect for law enforcement.
Two words. Ferguson Effect. Before the left decided that Comey was a martyr, it was indicting him for acknowledging its existence.
How many police officers were killed because the left unleashed its racist mobs? The statistics speak for themselves. But when conservatives stand up to some Obama supporters who abused the power of the FBI and the DOJ to go after their political opponents, the lynch mob switches from cheering the thugs throwing bricks at police officers to lecturing conservatives about respecting law enforcement.
Let's listen to the lecture after the phrase, "Blue Lives Matter" crosses their lips.
