The media admits that the Democrats have a violence problem.

In the news industry there's a phrase, "man bites dog story", that describes news events that go counter to expectations.

For example there are lots of cases where dogs bite people but it's rare that a person bites a dog. Since  news is about getting readers the media covers the unusual story more that it covers the more mundane ones.

We're seeing that the media is really going to town covering the unsuccessful attempt by a clearly disturbed Trump supporter while at the same time pretty much ignoring most of the 613 cases of violence by Democrats against Republicans.

Which means that a "violent"--though he didn't actually hurt anyone unlike the guy who nearly killed Steve Scalise--"Republican"--who blamed Bush for 9/11-- is the man bites dog story.

That in turn tells us that the #FakeNews media is either admitting that Democrats have a violence problem because they believe that Democrat violence problems are so common that they won't interest their readers or they're admitting that they cover up violence against Republicans because it's so common that the #FakeNews media knows that if people find out about it they'll be less likely to vote Democrat.

Either way the message is clear; Republican violence is rare while Democrat violence is common.

That's not surprising given that Democrat party leaders are calling for mobs to drive Republicans out of restaurants and gas stations.  It's not surprising given that Democrats have been calling Republicans Nazis for years while simultaneously saying that Antifa violence against real Nazis is either ok or understandable.

But it's good to be able to show voters that the actions of the #FakeNews media show us that they know that Democrats use violence and that they really don't think that's such a bad thing because that makes our claims of media bias more credible.
