‘Lowering The Temperature’ Starts With Ending The Political Prosecutions

Top Points:

1. End Political Prosecutions to Lower Tensions: The media should demand that President Biden dismiss all federal charges against Donald Trump, including the biased charges of mishandling classified documents. Accountability for Democrats in these inappropriate prosecutions would help de-escalate the political climate.

2. Stop Targeting Trump Supporters: There must be an end to the legal system's abuse against Trump’s attorneys and supporters. This includes ceasing proceedings against Trump lawyers and dropping the criminal charges against Trump electors. The media should investigate and expose any coordination of these charges with the White House.

3. Demand Accountability and Tough Coverage of the Left: The media should critically cover and challenge those who demonize Trump and his supporters, holding themselves accountable for their role in inflaming tensions. They should press Biden on his inflammatory language and actions against Trump, ensuring a fair and balanced approach to political coverage.

Full Report:

There's a straightforward way to gauge the sincerity of the media elite suddenly advocating for lowering political tensions.

In the wake of the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the mainstream media is now urging everyone to “lower the temperature” of political rhetoric. That's quite ironic. This comes after years of Democrats and left-wing activists relentlessly comparing Trump to some of history's worst figures, branding Trump and his supporters as an “existential threat to democracy” without any media pushback.

To truly test the sincerity of these media elites parroting the “lower the temperature” mantra, we must ask: Are they willing to stop the unprecedented and abusive legal attacks against Trump and his supporters? Will they call out those who spew the most hateful and vitriolic rhetoric against Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement? Are they ready to admit their role in inflaming tensions and pledge to help de-escalate?

End Lawfare to Reduce Tensions

If the left truly wants to lower the temperature, they must address Biden's unprecedented strategy of attempting to secure re-election by prosecuting his political rival—not through the ballot box, but in court.

A genuine media interested in de-escalation would demand that Biden dismiss all federal charges against Trump, including the biased charges of mishandling classified documents. It's clear that Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have more culpability in this regard, yet only Trump faces these charges.

The media should collectively demand that Biden instruct his Democratic allies in New York and Atlanta to end their baseless prosecutions. Even former New York Governor and Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has admitted that the legal theory used to charge Trump would never have been applied if his name wasn't Donald Trump and if he wasn't running for president.

The case against Trump in Atlanta has already been tainted by allegations of prosecutorial corruption and is based on an illegally recorded phone call. If the media wants to lower the temperature, they should be questioning Biden’s role in these inappropriate prosecutions. Accountability for Democrats would help cool the political climate.

Stop Targeting Trump Supporters

Where is the media outrage over the legal system's abuse against Trump’s attorneys? Anyone genuinely seeking political unity and peaceful elections should demand that state bar associations, including the D.C. Bar, cease proceedings against Trump lawyers. This includes reinstating John Eastman, who was disbarred for providing Trump with accurate constitutional advice. Where is the media coverage on this?

State media could also pressure Biden to call on Democratic state attorneys general in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin to drop the criminal charges against Trump electors. These charges are a clear attempt to curry favor with Biden. Where are the media investigations into whether these charges were coordinated with the White House?

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by Biden, joined a ruling that concluded Biden's Justice Department twisted financial legislation to charge hundreds of January 6th rioters with felonies instead of misdemeanors. De-escalation would mean Biden should pardon these unfairly prosecuted Americans and create a compensation board for them.

Demand Tough Coverage of the Left

Lowering the temperature would involve critical media coverage of those who have spent years demonizing Trump and his supporters. Will the media challenge those who use terms like “dictator,” “evil,” “Hitler,” “threat to democracy,” and “dangerous MAGA Republicans” about Trump and his supporters?

The media must also hold itself accountable. Publications like The New Republic have depicted Trump as Hitler on their covers. Even The New York Times showed no restraint the morning after the assassination attempt. Where is the media outrage over these publications?

What should be the consequences if a national leader publicly targets an opponent? Such rhetoric should be grounds for impeachment if acted upon. Yet, Trump's words encouraging peaceful protest led to impeachment and criminal charges. Where is the media scrutiny over Biden's inflammatory language?

Hold Biden Accountable

Biden has been allowed to use dangerous rhetoric against his political opponent, describing Trump as a threat to America. This, despite Trump's term being marked by more prosperity and global peace than Biden’s tenure. Domestic unrest under Trump was fueled by leftist activists trying to destabilize his re-election.

To truly calm the political storm, Biden’s campaign message must shift from vitriolic and hateful rhetoric. The media should press Biden on why he attacked millions of Americans as dangerous simply for supporting Trump.

The lawfare against Trump, his lawyers, and his supporters has destroyed lives. Elite institutions concerned about political participation must acknowledge that these political prosecutions and vile attacks on patriotic Americans are the real threats turning the U.S. into a banana republic.

To avoid further violence and conflict, the media must look in the mirror and recognize their primary responsibility in raising the political temperature. When the corporate media start holding Biden accountable for his actions, only then can we believe they genuinely care about lowering political tensions.
