Liberal Media: WHAT Foiled Supreme Court Assassination Plot?

Nicholas John Roske is who?

That would be the bottom line of media “coverage” of the 26-year old California man who flew across the country, showing up in the neighborhood of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh with, according to Fox News, “a gun, ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, a screwdriver, zip ties, and other gear.” Doing so with one purpose: to assassinate the conservative Justice because of Kavanaugh’s presumed position on the forth coming Roe V. Wade decision. Roske now faces a murder charge.

Isaac Schorr, an analyst at Yahoo News, analyzed the Yahoo News article New York Times “coverage” of Roske and his violent plotting was headlined this way:

New York Times: Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt Buried on Page A20

Schorr said this: 

“Stories that did earn a spot on the front page of Thursday’s Times included a primer on the primetime January 6 committee hearing set for Thursday night and a piece on returning to office spaces to work after the Covid-19 pandemic. Even on page 20, the Kavanaugh story received short shrift, coming in below the headline “New York A.G. Set to Question Three Trumps Under Oath.”

The Kavanaugh headline does not acknowledge Roske’s stated intention to murder the justice, instead stating ‘Man With Pistol, Crowbar And Zip Ties Is Arrested Near Kavanaugh’s Home.’”

Yahoo also found other prominent media outlets who downplayed or ignored the story. USA Today, which had exactly zero coverage of the story in its print edition on Thursday, “and Politico Playbook also failed to mention the narrowly avoided assassination of a Supreme Court justice.”

This is the obvious question. Can you picture – Imagine! – if there had been a similar assassination attempt by some right wing nut – against a then-sitting liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg or any other liberal Justice? Of course you can. It would make a great headline. The Times, USA Today Including all the endless TV coverage by every left-wing media outlet. 

As it happens, the Roske assassination attempt story arrives just as the January 6 Committee is going out of its way to stage hearings that insist President Donald Trump’s language at a White House rally on January 6, 2021 incited the later attack on the Capitol. 

Curiously? Following the revelation of Roske’s plot to kill Justice Kavanaugh in a plot by Roske, this 2020 statement made by New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, who is also the Majority leader of the United States Senate, was lost in media memories. This was the statement that Schumer made on the Supreme Court’s steps. 

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. Kavanaugh! You’ve released the whirlwind and will be punished. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

This is the obvious. If the media and their January 6 Committee allies are trying to hold Trump accountable for  his language before the violence at the Capitol, why aren’t they holding Schumer accountable for language he used about Justice Kavanaugh? After all, would-be assassin Roske was there prowling Justice Kavanaugh’s neighborhood to, borrowing from Schumer, “release the whirlwind” and make the Justice “pay the price.”

Do not stop there.

The liberal media double-standard is what is in fact being demonstrated here. Left-wing activists attempt to murder a conservative Supreme Court justice? Continue reading to page 20. A liberal United States Senator – not, co-incidentally, the Majority Leader of the United States Senate – threatened that very Justice that he will face the “whirlwind” and “pay the price” if he writes a court decision the Senator doesn’t like? Ho-hum, no big deal. Schumer’s Senate investigation committee will not exist, nor primetime television coverage of the probe if it did.

This is yet another example of the strong alliance that exists between the liberal media with their liberal allies at Congress. 

Of all places, there was this headline over an Evan Siegfried op-ed at NBC back in the ancient times of 2018. It says: 

It is true that media bias toward conservatives exists. This is why most people don’t trust the news.

Although it may not seem obvious, the liberal tendencies of reporters have always been evident in how they treat conservatives.

Bingo. Bingo. The entire page of this report is 20 New York Times illustrates, in a snapshot, how the liberal media plays the game – and plies their “journalism” trade.

Conservatives get it. This is precisely why conservative media exist – and thrives.
