In a single 48-hour news cycle, ABC NEWS quickly transitioned away from their Monday FAKE VIDEO disaster. Tuesday morning, they jumped to “finding Hunter” (Biden, that is) and gave him an exclusive interview to help him save face. By Tuesday afternoon ABC had enlisted the help of none other than Richard Blumenthal, who announced his newly proposed bill to help protect journalists from “threats and violence.” Furthermore, ensuring that the act of threatening or attacking “anyone doing fact gathering or news operations” is now a federal crime.
The media and the left have officially crossed the rubicon. Take a look at Blumenthal’s presser from Tuesday afternoon:

I honestly have a hard time finding words to describe this ridiculousness. Da Nang Dick Blumenthal MUST now ask the same media hacks he’s defending, to DEFINE “violence,” “threatening,” and “attacking.”
Dear Mr. Da Nang: might the violence you’re referring to, be this behavior (from the left) that you and your media hacks have ignored and supported for the past three years, in the effort to take down Trump?
Everyone on Twitter today was gasping over a meme depicting Trump committing an act of violence.
It's a meme.
It's fake.
It's produced.
It's not real-life.
Guess what is not fake?
These violent attacks on real conservatives by real leftists.

Maybe “threats and violent acts” are not quite that severe. Might the “acts of violence” you’re referring to, be as simple as mispronouncing a transgender person’s name? (See pronoun anger exhibits from recent CNN town halls.) OR MAYBE it’s now considered “threatening” or “violent” to ask tough questions during a media interview? Just asking for “a friend.”
ABC News’ Amy Robach took cover in a “safe space” for Tuesday’s exclusive interview of “Finding Hunter.” She put on her baby gloves and avoided asking Hunter Biden any tough questions about the money he’s cashed in on. In the process [insert “threatening and violent” vocabulary], Robach made an asshat of herself.

Later Tuesday morning, the Outnumbered team on Fox News discussed the ABC Hunter Biden exclusive. Watch this take until about the 7:11 mark; they mention here how “Robach didn’t know to ask” him if he will receive the money when he cashes out:

Honestly, did Robach NOT know to ask Hunter Biden about cashing out when he exits? That is the question. I think it is pretty clear that Robach knew what NOT to ask.
JUST A HUNCH, because asking “THE RIGHT QUESTIONS” is mandatory and comes with the territory “for anyone who has the last name, Biden.”
“ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS!” Remember this from September? Here’s Biden when he started freaking out when the Ukraine story began breaking. Poor guy.
Why is Joe Biden getting so bent out of shape over someone asking him a question about a shady deal he made in Ukraine? 🤔🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/EOz876Y744

Sincerely, Mr. Blumenthal, if there is a “media safety” handbook that you recommend, I’d like to read it. All of us Deplorables and Irredeamables across America, especially those of us who Mr. Strzok said voted for Trump and smelled like Wal-Mart; we’d all like to understand better the scope and boundaries of your proposed federal crimes and propaganda, now positioned to PROTECT THE JOURNO-HACKS. While you and your media pals fuel your egos with the false rhetoric, stating that we’ll all go out on a fake news rampage and “threaten” journalists….well, I’m afraid you’re misinformed.
The truth of the matter is that there are millions upon millions of patriotic Trump supporters who love America so much that we will rise and take the high road. The biggest “threat” you face is when we all decide to TURN OFF the noise of ABC and all other false narrative media brands now claiming to be VICTIMS of the Trump era. I’m afraid, my media friends, that your karma is going to be what stinks.
