1. Always Blame the Left 1. Dems are constantly being blamed for Republican extremism. Pundit on TV show Nattering Noggins: If Democrats want to defeat Trumpism, they need to stop moving so far to the left. 2. But what exactly have the Dems done that's so radical? Woman: That does it! Lowering prescription drug prices and funding infrastructure are too far out for me. I want a right-wing dictatorship! 3. Like someone's not going to be a neo-Nazi because Democrats shift slightly rightward? Insurrectionist: Hmm... I was hoping to violently overthrow the government to install a white ethno-state. But if they cut back on school lunch programs, I'll reconsider. 4. Maybe it's time to start blaming fascism on fascists. Female pundit on Nattering Noggins: The right has been propagandized into extremism for decades. Pundit from first panel: What an unserious opinion! You need to move to the right.

    Murc’s Law describes news framing that makes Democrats responsible for Republican antics, chaos and dysfunction
    
    from KATHY GILL, associate editor
    
    Murc's Law? Bothsidesism? News media bias continuously presents Democrats as culpable for problems Republicans caused.
