I think that it is interesting to watch the media double down. As usual, watch the language. In the debate, the moderator had the "fact check" that "They contacted the city and there were no credible reports." Oh, OK, so there were reports and you decided that they were not credible despite the photos, videos, and 911 calls. Not that I see anything particularly wrong with hunting wild geese outside of any infractions of the usual constraints of fish and game rules and regulations.

The media have been not only pushing for the acceptance of cultural norms of other people, they have been actually pushing them as being superior to our cultural values that were based on white, patriarchal, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, ablest, transphobic (I think I got them all) values coming from the religious beliefs of slavers and colonists that they think should be set aside.

Personally, I think that this type of nonsense will help to further erode whatever is left of the public's trust in the media.

Acceptance of cultural differences has its limits.
