Americans are rightly angry and fed up, and a clip making the rounds shows why: conservative commentator Scott Jennings bluntly dismantled a MeidasTouch guest on live CNN, laying out fact after fact about a recent wave of left-wing political violence that the rest of the panel reflexively ignored. Dave Rubin — who has made a career of calling out media hypocrisy — reacted to the direct-message clip, and his fury echoes what millions of working Americans already feel when legacy outlets look the other way.
The violence isn’t hypothetical. A sniper attack on a Dallas ICE facility left people dead and wounded, with investigators finding anti-ICE markings and a clear motive to terrorize federal officers and the system that enforces our borders. Federal officials and the Department of Homeland Security described the incident as a targeted attack on ICE, a fact liberals in the media have been pressured to downplay even as agents and detainees suffered.
Then there was the sickening political assassination of Charlie Kirk at a university event — a rooftop sniper strike that ended the life of one of the most visible conservative voices in America and sent a shiver through every parent, student, and patriot who still believes in free speech. The nation watched as police and federal investigators pieced together evidence, and yet too many on the left still prefer moral equivalence or excuses over naming the clear and present threat. This isn’t partisan chest-thumping; it’s a safety crisis crying out for honest coverage and real solutions.
What Scott Jennings did on that CNN panel was important: he forced the conversation back to the facts — the targets, the messaging on shell casings, the pattern of attacks on ICE and other institutions — and the MeidasTouch spokesman had no answer that didn’t sound like the same tired deflection playbook. The media’s instinct to immediately blame conservative rhetoric or cite “both sides” instead of naming the perpetrators reveals an institutional bias that actively shields the political left from responsibility when radicals cross the line into violence.
Conservatives are not asking for special treatment; we are demanding fairness, accountability, and law enforcement that treats political violence as the felony it is, regardless of which ideology the attacker claims to serve. Elected officials and federal agencies must stop sanitizing the story when the perpetrator’s notes and actions clearly point to anti-government or anti-ICE motives, and the President’s handlers must stop reflexively politicizing every tragedy. The DHS and families of victims deserve the truth, not spin.
Big tech and the cable networks have a choice: continue amplifying narratives that excuse or obscure left-wing radicalism, or return to basic journalism and civic responsibility. If they keep choosing ratings and tribalism over honesty, the consequences will not be borne by anchors in Manhattan — they’ll be borne by ICE agents, conservative speakers, and ordinary Americans trying to live peaceful, law-abiding lives. It’s time the media learned the difference between critique and cover-up.
We should mourn the dead, demand justice for the victims, and insist on a national conversation that names the real causes of political violence instead of hiding behind predictable partisan lies. Patriots who love this country will not be silenced by fake outrage or manufactured equivalencies; we will keep calling out hypocrisy, protecting our communities, and insisting that law and order be enforced without fear or favor. The future of American public life depends on it.
