Just skimmed the article. Maybe I missed something.

Would you look at that, I assumed he was a Republican because he targeted CNN and railed against African-Americans and Jews, and probably called in threats to an Islamic centre. Consider my head hung in shame.

And the way he spouted Trumpisms.

Making assumptions about people is okay as long as it's not a Muslim terrorist attack.

One crazy guy makes death threats against a media outlet, predictably gets arrested, and this is suddenly world news why?
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

That's true, I failed to consider that.

The "War on Media" in the United States seemingly escalating is the reason this got attention, I'd say.

Hardly. CNN gets threats like these all the time. I can actually picture the staff receiving the phone call rolling their eyes. Hell most of CNN’s filming takes place in NYC with some in Atlanta for big events. Only HLN is filmed constantly in Atlanta

Because it was against CNN.

Presumably this gives the MSM an excuse to nail itself to a cross and tell the president to stop being such a big meanie to them.

Ok? And that doesn’t mean that they are republicans. It’s disingenuous to claim that this nut case is a white republican. For all we know he’s an extremely nutty black nationalist, or a kooky guy with no political leanings

Can people just stop trying to pin this on Trump? Trump has called CNN 'fake news' multiple times, but he has never actually advocated violent action against them, and if he did, it most likely would have been a joke. He is in no way responsible for the actions of this lone idiot.

Well apparently CNN didn’t care enough to run their own story.

Congratulations on being more open-minded than me in this particular case. I severely doubt he's a black nationalist or someone with "no political leanings".

Because global communication is really easy now. News can be broadcast to the world as easily as it can be broadcast around a village. More easily. This article could have been written by an intern from their bed.
