Soledad O’Brien eviscerates CNN: ‘You have normalized’ white supremacy with shoddy Trump reporting

Former CNN host Soledad O’Brien blasted the cable news business over the weekend for profiting off the hate speech that has fueled Donald Trump’s political rise.

According to O’Brien, the media had gone through “contortions to make things seem equal all the time” when comparing Trump to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“If you look at Hillary Clinton’s speech where she basically pointed out that what Donald Trump has done — actually quite well — has normalized white supremacy,” O’Brien explained to CNN host Brian Stelter on Sunday. “I think she made a very good argument, almost like a lawyer. Here is ways in which he has actually worked to normalize conversations that many people find hateful.”

I wouldn't say that they've normalized white supremacy. But if you take out the unnecessary racial cast, O'Brien identifies a real problem. The media have normalized Donald Trump. They've made Trump and Clinton seem somehow equal when any rational assessment would find otherwise. Trump lies far more often, has far fewer qualifications and is less emotionally suited for the job. But the media narrative is that both candidates are horrible.

Good. Nathan Damigo and Richard Spencer needed all the help the media has provided
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.
