Nolte: New York Times Upset over Threats Against Media; Ignores 500-Plus Attacks on Trump Supporters
Breitbart ^ | 30 Jul 2018 | John Nolte

New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger says he is worried about threats against journalists, even as his publication has all but ignored more than 500 attacks against President Trump and his supporters. After meeting with the president this month, Sulzberger released a five-paragraph statement about the weekend meeting:

I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I told him that although the phrase “fake news” is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists “the enemy of the people.” I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.

I warned him that it was putting lives at risk, that it was undermining the democratic ideals of our nation[.]

Sulzberger claimed he was responding to the weekend’s Trump tweets.

“Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times,” Trump wrote. “Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, ‘Enemy of the People.’ Sad!”

Ignored? Hell, it looks to me they encouraged it.

It’s a shame that guy wasn’t some Chuck Norris Jr when those POS douchebags attacked him.

I am honestly upset that there is such placid complacency about attacks on Trump people and the same about allowing the evil leftist media propagandists to get away with everything and go to their cocktail parties in the Hamptons this weekend.

Since leftists always project, this is a serious threat of violence against all of us as Trump supporters.

No one is plotting out locations of places to do violence to media studios. It’s in their fevered minds.

Ever notice when a reporter dies it’s almost as big as a state Funeral For A dignitary. It’s on all the networks for like a week or more. I’m surprised they don’t go half mast with the flags and have the reporter lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda.
