Same media that kept searching for violence at tea party rallies.

On Saturday, the major broadcast networks dedicated airtime to the liberal Tax Day protests against President Trump as one network aired a crowd chanting “lock him up,” another refused to acknowledge the anti-Trump violence in California, and all of them declined to label the demonstrations.
This coverage of April 15 protests by liberals stood in stark contrast to how ABC, CBS, and NBC dismissed and smeared the Tea Party-led Tax Day events on this date eight years ago.
CBS Weekend News did not give the leftists their own segment, but shamefully ignored the violence in Berkeley, California.
“As nationwide Tax Day protests reached the sunny streets of West Palm Beach, Florida, today, President Trump spent time at his International Golf Club and Mar-a-Lago resort nearby,” correspondent Errol Barnett explained.
Barnett touched on the First Family joining the President in Florida and the Afghanistan missile strike before hyping that “with a nuclear-armed North Korea saying it is ready to go to war with the U.S., the Trump administration wants to show strength to the world while facing resistance at home.”
As if he were reading their talking points, Barnett teed up a soundbite from one protester by stating: “Protesters want the President to finally release his tax returns and stop using taxpayer money on travel.”
“Based on a report by the Government Accountability Office, CBS News estimates presidential trips to Mar-a-Lago cost at least $3 million, and CBS News has also learned the Secret Service has spent $190,000 so far to travel with and protect the elder Trump sons on their overseas business trips,” he concluded, in part.
Over on ABC’s World News Tonight, weekend anchor Tom Llamas tossed to correspondent David Wright by first acknowledging the “violent clashes” before reporting how “there were about 150 Tax Day protests demanding to see the President’s tax returns, even at the President’s Mar-a-Lago resort.”
