I see, it is about my reply to the issue you raised, not to Kevin's post as you stated before.
I was not linking Trump to desecration; you were when you shifted the focus to it (hence my reply to you about the bait question). I did not make a link to Trump until you came up with it, nor do I think that such a link is justified in this case. My contribution to this thread has been about perceived media hypocrisy not in uproar when allegedly similar acts happened during Obama's term. Do you imply that I consider such an uproar justified today? I already made it clear that outrage is not what I consider news, and my point is that when you're seeking outrage you'll miss the real news.

OK, next time perhaps we should talk about facts rather than opinion, and I'll try to come up with comments more exciting than the answers to "Where was the media outrage when Obama was in office?"
