      I’m sure it’s a line from Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 2:

      “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the journalists”.

      Sad to think that while Sopel has devoted his professional life for the past year and more to fully justifying and earning a smack in the mouth – he then metaphorically dodges to let his cameraman suffer. What a grindingly dreadful little person.

      Mark Steyn in 2017

      Mr Kristof is worried that the President’s contempt for the American media may egg on his supporters:

      I’ve lost reporter and photographer friends in war zones all over the world, and have had other friends kidnapped and tortured. When Trump galvanizes crowds against reporters in the room, I worry that we may lose journalists in the line of duty not only in places like Syria but also right here at home. Trump will get people hurt.

      In fact, it’s Kristof, Gitlin, CNN et al who are getting people hurt, right now – including reporters and photographers. Their willingness to cover for brute thuggery has incentivized antifa, who, entirely reasonably, have concluded they’re free to punch the lights out of any fascist who gets in their way. And, happily, if you’re deluded enough to believe that the principal threat to the United States in the year 2017 is “fascism”, why then everyone and his l’il old spinster auntie looks like a “fascist”. In that video up above, that’s a cameraman getting beaten up by antifa. Here’s a female journalist for The Hill getting punched in the face by an “anti-fascist”. Oh, and here’s a CBS reporter antifa put in the hospital. What’s your problem? In America today, Democrat state senators urge the assassination of the President and pay no price.

    Watching the crime drama Shetland now. Looks like whitey is treating the innocent noble black community in those far off isles (neither did I) very badly. On the bright side, the BBC is continuing to meet it’s ethnic actor quota targets.
