Trump’s Ugly, Hateful Attacks on Media Suddenly Take a Dangerous Turn
His posting of a video of a man cursing at Joe Scarborough sends a broader message: If elected, he’ll use state power to come after countless other Americans.

"suddenly take a dangerous turn"?
What direction did they think his actions were headed?
For real. This is a straight path. No turning necessary.
Who ever could have seen this coming?! So outta the blue!
You’re right. There has been plenty of danger from his posts. From the insurrection, to driving a car through BLM protests, the attack on Paul Pelosi, charging the FBI headquarters, and attempting to drive onto Capitol Hill.
This is the video to which the article is referring.

😮
… suddenly?
To be fair, you can't expect the news to know about things that happen.
Dear media,
You're maybe two verses of Niemoller's poem from "...and there was no one to speak for me.".
Stop carrying water for this man and his sycophants, it will not end well for you, or anyone you care about.
Scarborough is a Reagan Conservative. That he's being branded a "Liberal" because he disagrees with the MAGA camp should be a scary item in and of itself.
Correct. And a neocon. That's the GOP exit strategy when the Trump cult collapses: We never thought it would go this far, but we are back to our core conservative principles which are just about the same but without the clowning.
The media and the oligarchy need to become self-aware of the threats in front of their faces. Maybe then the former will return to doing its job for us and our safety and not for the latter.
We used to have laws that decentralized control of media. An entity could only own a certain number of newspapers, tv stations, or radio stations. There were incentives for smaller news companies to insure that there was competition in each market. Congress kept chipping away at those laws letting larger companies buy up more and more of the market, allowing mergers that restricted competition. Now radio is nearly a monopoly, TV and newspapers are oligarchies. The Internet fell into an oligarchy disturbingly quickly.
The only way to get the media serving the people again is to break up the big companies and restore the guardrails that protected and supported small local companies.
I hate to say it, but that will never happen. Politicians only chase the money, and the money wants to keep their monopolies and oligarchies.

Danny Boy has forgotten he's Lebanese. He's not on the favorites list for White Nationalists sadly, and Uncle Donnie will deport him. Jesus these people are fucking clueless about what he is.
Media is shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
yes what a turn
Some will give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Surely Trump thought the video was funny. Surely he only intended his MSNBC nemesis as the target. Surely calling a person or group “done” is just a figure of speech. And Scarborough doesn’t appear to feel threatened by the guy in the video. He was just a crank, right?
And the rest will correctly read the message and violence will occur and Trump's hands will be clean because "obviously he was misinterpreted."
