This is the comment that I said earlier that it was "not the time" to make.

When the shooting in Maryland happened today I happened to be watching
MSNBC.

Within 20 minutes of the shooting ... before authorities had identified
the shooter and while the situation was still "active"... and before
any kind of motive was known ...

the MSNBC host, Nicolle Wallace, was already suggesting that it was
likely the result of the emotionally charged political atmosphere in the
country and blamed the shooting on Trump.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing and watching.

It's been interesting watching the transformation of Wallace.Â* She's
a Republican, was GW Bush's Communications Director and was a senior
advisor for the McCain/Palin campaign.Â* She started on MSNBC years ago
as a "token" Republican/Conservative on their various panels including
on "Morning Joe".

Now, although still listed as being a Republican, she hosts a daily
show on MSNBC and focuses on trashing Trump and anyone associated with him.



Trump has been calling the news media the enemy of the people...

"The shooting today in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis,
Maryland cannot reasonably be separated from the President's mission to
villainize the press as 'the enemy of the American people,'" tweeted
journalist Lauren Duca.

Spot on. Trump has many, many nutso followers and he is demonizing the
media. Sooner or later, one of his crazed fans is going to shoot up a
major media outlet.

I think it is the patriotic duty of journalists to point out Trump's
foibles, fallacies, bull****, and ****ups, and there are plenty of them
on an almost daily basis from which to choose. Trump is a horror
show...no decent American should support him.

Everything in the world is not about Trump.
This guy just seemed to have a beef with one of the reporters and
their reporting of his criminal charges about harassing a woman.
