MEDIA EATS CROW IN THE NEVADA DESERT

      Tonight's security incident during a Trump rally in Reno shows two things. One is that the US Secret Service is still an efficient organization despite Obama's social engineering experiments in the Federal Government. Lest we forget, there actually was an assassination attempt on Trump in Las Vegas less than four months ago. And with Obama blasting off about 'potential terror attacks' before the election, the Secret Service acted quite properly.

     What the incident does show, more than anything else, is why we need a professional news media. As it turned out, there was no assassination attempt, the suspect was a 'Never- Trump' conservative protestor who reached for a sign and was mistakenly thought to have a weapon. The Alt-Right's would-be alternative media made complete fools of themselves while the establishment Corporate Media pooh-poohed the whole event as some hysterical over-reaction.

     Mike Cernovich, Roosh Valizdeh, and Vox Day were up within the hour not only claiming an assassination attempt, but offering opinions---although to his credit, Valizdeh did say that the details were not fully known. Cernovich and Day, however, had all the answers.

     "Assassination attempt tonight, Secret Service heroes protect Trump {against would-be} assailant. Media is covering this up!"

     No, Cernovich. The media was waiting for a statement from the police, which is what you should have done. See, your theory that 'Conflict is attention, and intention is influence' doesn't really work when concrete facts are involved.

     And Vox Day: "Hilary's supporters are getting increasingly desperate," The Dark Lord warned.

     Meanwhile, the Corporate Media---many of whose members have been caught red-handed in various Clinton-related scandals---have been quick to pounce on the "baseless allegations of an assassination attempt" and the "unprofessional conduct" of their Internet competitors. Which is mostly a lot of projection on their own part.

      Jeremy Diamond of CNN---an effete protégée of Anderson Cooper---states "protestor says he was roughed up," in his headline, and rather ho-hums the whole incident. Diamond also snidely insinuates that the crowd singled out the suspect because he was a known Never-Trumper.

       What happened tonight is simply this, and nothing more: Law Enforcement was placed on high alert in Reno; a protestor acted suspiciously; the Secret Service reacted properly; the protestor was released without being charged. End of story. 

        Or is it? This incident says a lot about where we've fallen as a culture---not so much because of the incident itself, but because of public reaction to it. Essentially the two dominant reactions here are one side ready to form lynch-mobs and the other behaving as though a legitimate security threat was no big deal. The Ameroboobs need collectively to stop behaving as though these elections are Reality TV shows and start taking them seriously.

         Not only that, but we need a genuine media again this country. Between the full-time Internet trolls and the corporate shills, the state of American journalism has dropped to below the levels of sleazy tabloids of a few years ago.
