And
now for something completely insane: CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane recently
told podcaster Chuck Todd that he was traumatized by the anger the press
faced from Trump rallygoers blaming media for the Butler, PA assassination
attempt last July. MacFarlane actually said he had PTSD due
to the crowd saying things like, “you did this…you killed him.”
MacFarlane was
traumatized? By Trump supporters? Trump was shot in the head and nearly had his
head blown off on live television, and MacFarlane was concerned with his own
feelings?! WTH?! What a stalwart journalist, with a laser focus on what
matters! The President of the United States was shot? Innocent others
were too, including one who later died? And Macfarlane essentially says,
“How do you think I feel with you guys shouting at me?!” What kind of an
unprofessional lout attempts to make this tragic and historic moment about his
own unblemished carcass?!
“How
was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”
“Well,
it was okay until it was interrupted.”
Talk
about tone deaf! If MacFarlane had covered Pearl Harbor, he would have said, “Not
the Arizona, I think I left my windbreaker on it when I interviewed Rear Admiral Isaac
Kidd
yesterday!”
Calling
MacFarlane an asshat is an understatement. As I have repeatedly stated before:
you cannot hate the mainstream media enough. In the highly unlikely event
MacFarlane reads this post, he may be traumatized yet again.
But
that would be on him, not me. Just sayin’. The unrelenting negative coverage
and flat-out lies the mainstream media incessantly spouted-- and spouts-- about
Trump obviously and inarguably had—and has-- an enormous effect on its
viewers/listeners, and a deadly one on the already unstable.
Most
of us were somewhat traumatized with what occurred on July 13, 2024…and how it
occurred. We just weren’t focused on how it immediately affected…ourselves.
