The normalization of violence in Republican rhetoric seems to already have predictable consequences.
Two stories currently running in the Guardian back-to-back;
One about Jordan’s death rant, the other about a lone gunman shooting up a Democratic campaign office in Kentucky. Credit to the Guardian for putting these stories next to each other thus making the obvious connection.
"We don't know if we are dealing with someone who has mental issues or is venomous". That strikes me as quite a telling statement in the PD's press release.
As I continue to read this fiction known as The Rain and Pain of the Republic that Could Have Been Mine I now note the beleaguered protagonist, tfg, just put a hit out on The Smart Woman, and Gymn the White Shirt just volunteered to handle the wet work. What next will come in this dramcomedy? The supposed heirs will turn out to be spawn of The Accountants?
I think that when this nightmare is past, more books on the subject will be written by students of abnormal psychiatry than by historians and political scientists.
In review, story selection favors the left but is generally factual.
The Guardian holds a left-leaning editorial bias and sometimes relies on sources that have failed fact checks. Further, while The Guardian has failed several fact checks, they also produce an incredible amount of content; therefore, most stories are accurate, but the reader must beware and hence why we assign them a Mixed rating for factual reporting.

Indeed! Maybe both. It seems an apt description of a number of Republicans I can think of, especially the one holding court in Mar-a-Lago.

Agree 1000%, Ralph.
Will somebody besides the Guardian tell us
Yes, it is fair to be a little skeptical of "The Guardian":
