Though I've explained to a large number of people (some of you readers offline) how the soviet-style media (SSM) was the biggest villain in Ferguson Missouri from the start, I've got to commend Daniel Greenfield for exposing how the villainy goes further back than that. Very long indeed.
Communists realized how useful race riots and the authoritarian backlash
could be to their agenda. Terrorists don't just aim for the target;
they also exploit the fallout to polarize a society.
That is what the left has been doing for generations since.
Everything from the Weathermen to September 11 became a means of
polarizing the response while removing the context. The left plants the
bombs and then acts as if the security men running around are insane
fascists who could have no other possible motive except abusing innocent
people.
Ferguson is more of the same. The left's army of activists and reporters
troop down to the city. The activists start the violence while the
reporters dramatize it. The coverage polarizes Americans and gives the
left another hook for hanging on to power long after its economic
policies have been as thoroughly discredited as those of the Soviet
Union.
Law enforcement is an immune system. If we have an overdeveloped and
oversensitive immune system, that's worth discussing, but it has to be
discussed in the context of the infection it is reacting to. Until we
treat the infection of the left, the country will be caught in the same
cycle of crime and authoritarian backlash, liberals who open the door
for criminals and conservatives who slam it shut.

Read the whole thing.
The Progs, from their 1800s start, labeled all who would react to their destabilizing as Reactionaries. That was even before their first attacks began. Mr. Greenfield never says that explicitly, but it is there as his underlying theme.
What is more, now that the Left has so thoroughly infiltrated our institutions, it is
they who are the Reactionaries. It is so because they wish to conserve their incrementally gained, unconstitutional powers. Their DHS has designated TEA Party affiliation and returning veterans as primary terrorist concerns precisely because they fear we the people as we attempt to regain some sanity and order not just for ourselves, but for the sake of our posterity.
As each individual encounters and bridles at the checks on our once taken for granted liberties, then it may be more common to see groups form to challenge their authoritarianism on one or more fronts. Then watch as the militarized responses are used against native born Americans and not our border crashers -- because it is the decent, hard-working people (and not any of the FSA) who are a threat to the Left's unconstitutional power.
This all needed to be said because whatever has happened and will happen, would not have happened to such an extent but for the villainy of the media.
What with all the special powers granted it in our constitution, it is that institution which needed to be on guard for excessive power grabs.
Instead it lauds it and has become a vital part in advancing that crime. Hampering other watchdogs, discouraging real justice by assisting those who invented the fallacy of "social justice," and inducing societal decadence by parading in front of its audience uncountable varieties of flamboyant indecencies.
Each of those affronts has made media strongly complicit in and essential to our societal decay. This all was essential in the Left's attack on American culture, and the media in all its forms provided the means and developed the programs for the attack. That is how our soviet-style media became the biggest villain, not just in Ferguson which makes their role all the more noticeable, but for so much more.
