Trump Campaign ‘Ejected’ Times Reporter From Michigan Rally, Seemingly Without Explanation | Talking Points Memo

I just got down to that part of the article, and I was like wait, what?! She was crying a few days ago because of what Trump said about the military (when the majority of republican congresspeople hid in their bunkers and said NOTHING), and now this because the press is mean to republicans?

Good grief. She’s all over the place, and yes, she’s married to a real “non-partisan” imbecile.

Think of the “battered wife” syndrome where the wife keeps going back to the brutish husband.

Not surprised but saddened. Also, if I never have to read Megan McCain’s opinion on anything ever again it’ll be too soon.

Perhaps her problem is that her only qualification is that she is a semi-famous-daughter who has not earned her way into the national spotlight and has no useful information to impart. She’s out of her depth. She’s an entitled rich kid, and is just self aware enough to know that she doesn’t deserve to be speaking on a national stage, so she whines about it.

She’s lucky that she wasn’t “Kashoggi’ed.”

Well in Portland they “detained” citizen journalists.
During the Michael Brown protests in Ferguson Antonio French who was a St. Louis City alderman was arrested because he was acting as a citizen journalist. (Ferguson is in the County, but French’s ward in the city buts up to Ferguson in the County)
So if you have a phone, you take pictures of police, city official, other politicians doing something then post them to Twitter or FB, then yes you are a citizen journalist.

Well, I guess Woodward needs to release the tapes and show that the whack-job is Trump.

She’s the female example of white grievance. And as @llamaspit said:

No surprise. This is what all cults do. Physically removing reporters is just a preview of the future of America. All hail DJT, the Golden calf.

Buuut the pandemic is fake…right?
Few masks at trump’s rally. That means it could be a “spreader event” for covid.
Thanks trump.
Way to go asswipe.
People will die because of trump’s need for a soothing stroke for his insecure fee fees.

I guess it’s time for the citizen journalists to invest in hidden cameras. They’re not all that expensive. Some of them look like pens and can’t be detected because they are not connected to wifi or the internet. Look on Amazon.

And soon, there will be mini-drones with cameras flying around these events. These people can run, but they can’t hide, and clearly they don’t want to hide because they are not wearing masks.

If you’re crazy you don’t have to fly missions, but if you don’t want to fly missions you’re clearly not crazy so you have to fly missions.

I’m reminded of Brave New World and the hounding press in the novel.

The trumper, his followers and minions spend their lives cleaning up all facts that in any way depart from the purity of their myths that have become their shared false reality.
The real-world has no place in their mythos, in fact they become incensed when they experience the Real world.
