The conscienceless monster that is left-wing political violence has a voracious appetite. And the Trump-hating media are feeding it. 

A new Rasmussen Reports poll finds a majority of likely U.S. voters — 60 percent — believes that the constant barrage of negative coverage of President Donald Trump likely contributed to the latest assassination attempt. The national telephone and online survey of 1,076 Americans, conducted April 27-29, shows 41 percent of those surveyed think it “very likely” the media’s one-sided treatment had some influence. A mere 13 percent of respondents said it’s “not at all likely” that the media has some culpability. 

As media watchdog Newsbusters reported, the poll numbers include 45 percent of voters identifying as Democrats believe it’s likely the Trump-loathing media inspired the attack, with nearly 4 out of 5 Republicans saying the same. 

“For most of us, it was here we go again,” Tim Graham, Executive Editor of Newsbusters, told me on a recent episode of The Federalist Radio Hour podcast. Sadly, he said, the latest assassination attempt did not come as a surprise. Corporate media created an environment leading up to the widely anticipated get-together of the self-important D.C. journalists and members of the Trump administration. 

“In the lead up to this there was such screeching about a permission structure for fascism,” Graham said. “They have talked about Trump for the last 10 years in such a hyperbolic way.”
