Banner headlines across the top of all columns of a newspaper are rare and normally reserved for major catastrophes like an earthquake, a plane crash or the like, but not in today’s USA Today, the left-leaning national newspaper.
Today, in 60-point type, the paper’s headline read, “Poll: 51% fear Election Day violence.” The sub-head – Clinton up, but voters anxious: many Trump backers won’t recognize a win by Democrat. But in the second paragraph of the article we learn that “A 51% majority of likely voters express at least some concern about the possibility of violence on Election Day.” Did you get that? “Some concern.”
There’s more. “Three out of four say they have confidence the U.S. will have the peaceful transfer of power that has marked American democracy for more than 200 years …” This warranted a banner headline?
Continuing, the article is obviously designed to scare voters and blame Donald Trump’s supporters for anything that might happen. Incidentally, the fire-bombing of a Trump campaign office in North Carolina was relegated to a one column headline the following day.
This is but one example of a runaway media piling on the Trump campaign.
