You know things are bad when the mainstream media is asking you to tone it down.

The infotainment industry thrives on conflict and combat.  These are the sort of things that drive ratings and revenue for the folks at CNN and Fox News, and you can tell by the way that they constantly goad us into warring with one another.

In places like Portland, this media-driven division has turned violent, with groups such as Proud Boys and Antifa constantly squaring off in the streets – much to the delight of the media machine who then broadcast the carnage to the masses.

But that’s not to say that there isn’t a limit to how much emotional exploitation is too much…and it looks as though Sean Hannity has hit his breaking point.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity condemned radical protesters from both political extremes who demonstrated in Portland, Ore., over the weekend, saying there is no place in the United States for physical violence in pursuit of political ends.

“To each and every single person on either side that has an extreme agenda, you must stop this insanity — this lawlessness,” Hannity said Monday night.

The host said violence among both left-wing Antifa protesters and right-wing white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups must be quashed by authorities whenever it pops up.

“Police need to stop this and end it and drop it right when it starts,” he said.

Just because these political punks aren’t lining up in infantry formations and firing rifles at one another doesn’t mean that this isn’t the New Civil War – it may very well be – and Hannity is right to call these clashes into question.
