Remember this story?
Wait, no evil RED HAT?! Florida man arrested for deliberately ramming van into GOP tent full of volunteers registering voters https://t.co/A0aV0Se7R5

Jeryl Bier kindly noted that the New York Times is yet to write a story on the anti-Trump Florida van driver arrested a few days ago after he casually drove his vehicle into a Republican voter registration tent, sending volunteers running for their lives:
Oh, look, the @nytimes is finally covering the story of the Florida guy who drove his truck into a GOP voter registration tent because "someone had to take a stand" against Trump…
Oops, no, wait, just another AP wire story. Nevermind.https://t.co/0u5u6dI0XW pic.twitter.com/Kns4jMkISS

You see, there are so many other more important stories out there other than a crazed anti-Trump American using his vehicle to cause mayhem:
Oh, thank God… because this is clearly one of the most important stories in America today…

WTH is wrong with him?
Poor Charlie.

Trump broke him:
I don't know…a story about political violence seems kind of important.

You’d think the NYT could devote at least one column to it, especially since they have reporters in Florida anyway:
When supporters are attacked because aggressors want to silence opposition, it clearly IS an important story today and always, Charlie.
Thanks for weighing in.

Thankfully, nobody was killed:
a near-fatal, politically motivated attack seems fairly important. but you do you.

And this is a good question: How much coverage is the correct amount?
How much converage would be appropriate for politically motivated attempted murder?

Because we think the media coverage might have been a little different if it was a Trump supporter behind the wheel:
If this was a Trump supporter, Charlie would spend weeks lamenting the end of American decency https://t.co/mydi23l2vt
