They are all biased. True. I stopped watching CNN after the 2016 election. However, CNN doesn't use the same type of propaganda that the Nazis used to instill fear of the "other" like the right wing media does. This is what's frightening

Hitler was NOT democratically elected.

He lost every single free election he participated in. In the last one, though, his ability to mobilize the street made Hindenburg appoint him Chancellor to appease his Resistance movement.

The Nazis won the most seats in the Reichstag in 1932. The Communists were told by Moscow not to make common cause with the Social Democrats. Hindenburg reluctantly appointed Hitler chancellor when no majority government was forthcoming and at the urging of, among others, prominent industrialists. Conservatives told Hindenburg they could tame Hitler and most folks discounted the Nazis' ability to establish a dictatorship in Germany:

"German newspapers wrote that, without doubt, the Hitler-led government would try to fight its political enemies (the left-wing parties), but that it would be impossible to establish a dictatorship in Germany because there was "a barrier, over which violence cannot proceed" and because of the German nation being proud of "the freedom of speech and thought". Theodor Wolff of Frankfurter Zeitung wrote:[77]

It is a hopeless misjudgement to think that one could force a dictatorial regime upon the German nation. [...] The diversity of the German people calls for democracy.
—?Theodor Wolff in Frankfurter Zeitung, Jan 1933"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler%27s_rise_to_power#Seizure_of_control_(1931%E2%80%931933)

They were, of course, wrong.

1) yes, his party won most seats given party fragmentation, but not enough to constitute government. Thus he was not democratically elected, he was appointed after 2 other guys had been appointed too and had to resign given the pressure from the street

2) go and find out what he did withi a week, and what no president here has ever tried and could never work

Some here are banalizing nazism and the Holocaust to promote their own very myopic US-centric politically agenda...I frankly find that disgusting.

2)

There, that's what the title ought to be. When Trump starts branding Democrats with pink donkey tattoos and herding them into ghettos, yeah, then I might believe Trump is goose-stepping on our constitution. Until then, such hysteria is nothing more than the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth of crybabies not getting their way.

Trump has already claimed MSM enemies of the public. Our constitution doesn't allow him to do anymore than that, much to his disgust I'm sure. But, I'm pretty sure he'd love it if he as POTUS could have the same kind of power that his buddy Putin or kim Jong Un has. How many times has he gushed over them and their "leadership" style.

Another thread has a fascinating interview with Camille Paglia, apparently a well-known LEFTIST intellectual.

Money quote:

"The mainstream media’s nonstop assault on Trump has certainly backfired by cementing his outsider status. He is basically a pragmatic deal-maker, indifferent to ideology. As with Bolsonaro in Brazil, Trump rose because of decades of failure by the political establishment to address urgent systemic problems, including corruption at high levels. Democrats must hammer out their own image and agenda and stop self-destructively insulting half the electorate by treating Trump like Satan."

oh gawd.. the irony! How many of his people have had to quit over ethical issues or have been indicted. And this just after two years in office.

I'm a white immigrant married to a brown immigrant. We feel perfectly fine in the U.S. - because we came here legally and with enough money and understanding of the social structures of the country. We do not approve of those who try to enter illegally.

DP... I'm an immigrant, too, as is my white DH. You and your DH have stuck your heads in the sands. I would be worried for your brown immigrant DH if I were you. Look at how many incidents there have been against brown people by white people in the name of Trump. Not since 9/11 have we seen this kind of hatred towards brown people. It's actually surpassed 9/11.

Research shows that support for Trump was driven largely by racial resentment, and Trump played into that resentment with his own racist rhetoric. As a result, Trump’s election led to widespread fears that there would be an emboldening of racist acts across America. (Indeed, some attendees at the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August — made up of white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and Ku Klux Klan members — cited Trump as partial inspiration for the demonstration.)

The FBI report doesn’t prove there was a Trump-driven increase in hate crimes in 2016. But it shows there was, at least, an increase in the FBI’s figures that year.

In the month after Trump was elected, there were more than 860 reports of hate attacks to the Southern Poverty Law Center — including school teachers making Islamophobic comments, students telling Latino peers that Trump would deport them, and outright physical violence that was seemingly motivated by racism.

There have also been reports of mosques being burned, violent attacks against Indians, and a drive-by shooting at the Tulsa, Oklahoma, headquarters for the LGBTQ organization Oklahomans for Equality. And then there were the white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, in which a Nazi sympathizer allegedly killed a woman after he drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters.

While you obsess with 127 incidents you seem to ignore a much more relevant statistic: annual MURDERS grew several thousands under Obama and have started to decrease under Trump.

My family and I feel safer today than in 2015 and 2016.

Even the undocumented immigrants we know feel safer today -- at least there's more attention and support for them. Under Obama no one gave a damn, they were terrified and alone.

Oh yeah, that tiny tick up from the FIFTY-YEAR LOW in 2014 was just terrifying.

That equals several thousand extra murders a year, you moron.

And disproportionally black.

This was a national tragedy, unless you are a white supremacist, I guess.

Must be because you are white. If you were not, you'd not feel this way since hate crime has gone up.

Also, you have more chance of being killed by a mass shooter (by a white male) than an illegal immigrant, especially if you live in a white suburb.

And as a PP stated, violent crime has been going down even during Obama years.

liberals love to label people. Stop it already for effing sake. What Nazis? Who? Where? Are you guys out of your damn minds.

Fox News coverage of illegal immigration mirrors Nazi propaganda. That’s the point of the thread.

You are certifiably crazy.

1) I'm not white. I'd be considered brown by US stupid thinking

2) Hate crime is a very small percentage of total crime. You and I should worry more about total crime, especially violent, and less about some fabricated little category called "hate crime"

3) Yes, immigrants commit less crimes per capita than US-born citizens...but that has nothing to do with my previous comment.

4) Violent crime actually went up surprisingly and strongly in the last 2 years of Obama, breaking a long trend. And that's clear in the graph that you had to see before posting your stupid comment. Can you read a graph?

You do understand that a person can actually read the news from several newspapers and never watch any cable news, don’t you? Fox is pure propaganda and you know it.

I disagree. I think FOX is as useful as any other cable news network. Useful in that we get to hear the same news stories but from different POVs and with different spin. You do understand that there is not one acceptable POV and all others are fake, propaganda, etc., don't you?

And yes, reading the news works in the same way. All news outlets have their biases which is why it's worthwhile to read a wide variety. It's disingenuous to claim that you somehow have access to completely non-biased news reporting because you don't and you know it.

Not the day Hitler was elected. Meanwhile, there are kids in cages being sexually abused. So there is that.

That started with Obama, who also promoted racist and violent and anti-semitic BLM.

Hitler would have approved.

Okay so let's say you're right on the money.
It started with Obama who also promoted racist and violent anti-semitic BLM.
Is the shit curbing under Trump?
NO!!
As a matter of fact the shit is escalating under Trump.
Not only has the rhetoric and propaganda and fear-mongering about immigrants ramped up ridiculously,
but anti-Semitism has intensified significantly under Trump also and as far as violence goes uh, I don't recall any mass-killings at synagogues under Obama.
So even if you're right on the money about it starting with Obama which Hitler would have approved I got money says Adolf is looking up from hell grinning and doing cartwheels about the job Donald's doing.

We are mixing 3 topics.

On immigration, the reform Trump proposed made a lot of sense. Legalize close to 3 million immigrants, move system towards merit-based, get some funding for the wall. It didn't get any traction because both the media and Dems attacked it viciously.

On antisemitism, we have the first administration that moved the Embassy to Jerusalem and that supports Israel any chance it gets. We have the first President with a Jewish daughter aND grandkids and nothing but loving words for Judaism. If you see increased tension, and there is, it's because Dems can't respect the verdict of the 2016 election and instead are mobilizing the crazy mob with indeed very unfortunate consequences.

On mass-killings, you probably know that the synagogue killer hated Trump -- he thought Trump is a traitor because he was aligned with Jews. So it's hard to see how Trump is responsible for that. Additionally, in terms of violence overall we should all celebrate that murder rates went down in 2017, as opposed to 2015 and 2016 when they went up.

In short, don't buy the media crap.

Well said. You are correct on all counts.
