The “Words are violence” crowd sure loves themselves some terrorism!
The desperately unfunny Jimmy Kimmel was back at his hacktivist worst as he was angling to generate the expected clap-ter from his seal-like audience. Kimmel was referencing the stories of Tesla dealerships being torched with Molotov Cocktails, and he attempted to humorously encourage more of this behavior.
This little snide facial take is what the leftists love to call a “dog whistle,” and as we all know, this is ironclad proof of signaling some very disturbing behavior.

Prose & Contradiction – THE DAILY BEAST
What, are we not doing the Diversity thing anymore?!
One of the hysterical sidelights in all of the outrages at the Trump administration has been the takeover of the board of The Kennedy Center. There have been numerous angry columns, acts continuing to drop out of the programming in protest (The “Hamilton” producers said they refused to perform from fear of having shows cancelled, if that makes sense) and there was even an extremely effective dance protest!
Now, The Daily Beast has exposed the nefarious plot from within the new boardroom: The intent is to have some slightly different choices for performances.
A leaked Kennedy Center board meeting reveals Trump's desire to make the cultural hub “slightly more conservative” by adding non-woke musicals to its schedule.https://t.co/kHBRoRkbgQ

All of this hysteria has been over wanting “slightly more” options on its schedule? What the new board needs to do is explain why they are simply promoting more Inclusive programs so the shows will be more Diverse leading to a more Equitable schedule of events!

It would seem in complaining about a politician’s bill that speaking to him would have been helpful.
NBC News is clearly bothered by a new bill crafted by Rep. Riley Moore (WV), so much so that reporter Kimmy Yam almost communicated to him. The bill concerns eliminating student visas for those from communist China, given the country is rather hostile and frequently performs breaches of security here in the States.
In a clear case of writing the piece first and then reaching out for comment, Rep. Riley did respond, but in the 750 word article, he is given all of a single sentence to explain himself. He even showed where he responded with a bit more, but clearly Ms. Yam was not interested in delivering his full context.
I wonder why @NBCNews didn't include the rest of my quote. Any explanation @kimmythepooh? pic.twitter.com/tqdibdRpxA

Certainly this defensive stance on Hamas will help with the ratings.
Chris Hayes had on Senator Chuck Schumer and the discussion surrounding Hamas was ongoing. Schumer rightfully was condemning Hamas for using human shields and basing its weaponry in schools and hospitals for strategic human loss impacts. Hayes actually dares to take the side of the terrorists, stating (inaccurately) that Gaza is roughly the size of Manhattan, so where else are they going to store the rockets.
The press just continues to take these unreal positions in their downward slide.
"What does that even mean?!"

MSNBC's Chris Hayes scoffs at Chuck Schumer's outrage at Hamas putting their weapons under schools and hospitals. Hayes seems to argue Hamas has no place else to put them: "The size of Gaza is less than - it's basically Manhattan and it's got 2… pic.twitter.com/IIrD9ikZyT

It is just harmless firebombing tomfoolery, what’s the big deal?!
It is becoming increasingly desperate the fashion in which the press has to defend the wave of violence seen against Tesla owners and dealers. From calling these acts “protests” to even suggesting Elon Musk is the fault for all of it has been a steady wave of shameless deflection.
Now we get this interpretation from Thomas Chatterton Williams, who brushes aside the talk of these attacks as terrorism because — in his wisdom — these are not politically motivated attacks. Yes, he seriously tries selling that concept.
While Tesla as a company carries political and ideological associations (e.g., Elon Musk’s polarizing figure), I am unaware of any clear evidence that these attacks are driven by "a systematic political or ideological agenda." If the motivation is personal frustration (e.g.,…

Better still is that TCW’s desperation is blasted into confetti by…Williams himself. It turns out that as he tries to dismiss these actions as nothing more than “vandalism,” in the past he has looked at far more mundane forms of attacks on property and concluded that — yep — that was something that lived up to the term.
So in conclusion: Tossing a can of Campbell’s on a Monet equals “terrorism.”
Using Molotov Cocktails to incinerate cars and buildings, shooting bullets into dealerships, and compiling a database doxxing all Tesla owners nationwide is simply “vandalism.”
This same journalist called tossing soup on paintings to be "terrorism".

But doxxing the owners of Teslas while dealerships across the country are being firebombed is nothing more than mere vandalism shenanigans.
The press is deeply un-serious any longer... https://t.co/vNmKkyYkGn pic.twitter.com/9OVCgPvlq3
