CNN’s Climate of Hate: Anti-White Fresno Killer Despised President Trump

   DailyWire.com

According to the Daily Caller, the left-wing cable news network CNN completely ignored Tuesday’s murders of three white men at the hands of a racist black suspect in Fresno, California. “A review of CNN’s broadcast through primetime shows that the Fresno killings received no mentions on air,” the Daily Caller reported Tuesday evening. The same network that obsessed for weeks over the 2015 racist murders of black parishioners in South Carolina, chose instead to cover anti-Trump stories, including Tuesday’s special election in Georgia (in the hopes it would embarrass Trump — it didn’t).

If you know anything about CNN, this is not at all surprising.

For starters, Tuesday’s horrific murders are politically inconvenient for the last place network.

The suspect in custody, 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad (pictured below), is not white, is not Christian, is not a Republican, does not appear to be a member of the NRA, and, according to police, has already confessed to the murders and stated his motivation was hatred for whites.

Numerous news outlets have also reported that the suspect despised President Trump, might have specifically targeted two men associated with a Catholic charity, and shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the murder spree.

Shooting suspect Kori Ali Muhammad, 39.

Another motive for CNN ignoring the story might have to do with the Climate of Hate the Least Trusted Name In News has spent a year intentionally stirring up, not only around Trump, but also around his supporters.

The Daily Wire has documented CNN’s propaganda campaign to “other” Trump and his supporters, to turn them into hate-objects, to brainwash CNN viewers into believing Trump is an existential threat to freedom and people of color, to terrify Americans into believing Trump voters are outright Nazis — which is odd when you consider the fact that nearly 55% of Trump voters are women and minorities.

CNN’s star anchor, Jake Tapper, has been the worst in creating this Climate of Hate around the President. Tapper has repeatedly lied about Trump mocking a reporter’s disability, and through his use of words like “unmoored,” “unhinged, and even “un-American” to describe the sitting president, Tapper has sent out a highly-irresponsible and even dangerous message about Trump’s mental capacity and loyalties. Tapper is also responsible for hyping and making national news of a completely phony Russian dossier on Trump, a file filled with malicious and debunked serial-lies.

As of now there is no known connection between CNN’s ongoing assassination dogwhistles aimed at President Trump and Tuesday’s murders. But I think we will all find it a useful exercise to remember the CNN article excerpted below, which only required a little rewriting:

There’s no evidence the heated [Trump coverage at CNN] played any role in the shooting spree that left [three white people dead], but observers say if nothing else, the tragedy will force [CNN] to re-evaluate their rhetoric.

Militant-themed messages and speeches laced with fear have marked recent [CNN coverage of Trump], but in the aftermath of the massacre in [Fresno], [decent Americans everywhere] are calling on [CNN] to tone it down.

“An event like this really ought to make us rethink the way we speak to each other every day about politics and policy in the country,” … [Jake Tapper never] said.

The article then closes with this ominous warning, “Rhetoric can definitely have severe consequences or we wouldn’t employ it.”

Indeed.

And what are the consequences when CNN points what looks like a sniper scope at the Oval Office, puts what looks like a crosshairs on Steven Bannon’s head, when CNN smears Bannon as a hero to white nationalists?

Could it be something like this — which, according to the Daily Caller, was found on the suspected murderer’s social media account?

We don’t yet know.

We might never know.

But out of respect for the tradition of journalism … I’m just asking questions.

Regardless, as CNN itself helpfully explained to us, there need not be a connection between the rhetoric and the crime in order to stop and do a little soul-searching about your ongoing Climate of Hate.
