The Neo-Leninist News Formula for Reporting on Donald J. Trump

Imagine the worst – go even farther, and then print it.

 

In Reading the Anti-Trump Columns By David Brooks…

… LPR suggests that you keep in mind his December 4, 2015 column called –

“No, Trump Won’t Win, ” and his March 18, 2016 column called—

“No, Not Trump, Not Ever.”

Where are the protests from “ethicists” and civil liberties groups

…denouncing harassment of members of the Trump family?

Apparently criticism of leftists harassing of members of the Trump family remains locked in the drawer with protests of abusive treatment of conservatives in Wisconsin, harassment of Tea Party groups by the IRS, and so forth . For LPR their silence at abusive treatment of conservatives denies any moral standing to “ethicists” and civil liberties groups who usually get all the public media attention they demand.
