Yes, there is a media influence on the violent events of the last week and earlier. You can find it on Fox and other right-wing media groups. Where on CNN or MSNBC do they have guests that regurgitate alt-right and bigoted views and comments that do not get universal condemnation? There is no equalvelancy between hated guests on these right-wing channels and proper condemnation of the popular vote losers words, lies, and policies. It is wrong to think there is.
