The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >piece criticizes liberal media<\/a> for refusing to acknowledge their role in national division and instead trying to blame former President Donald Trump for political violence associated with the Left. <\/p>\n<p>During the show, Raddatz questioned three politicians-Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT), Governor Jared Polis (D-CO), and Senator John Curtis (R-UT)-pressuring them to denounce Trump for blaming &#8220;the radical Left&#8221; for kirk&#8217;s assassination. Though, all three declined to criticize Trump, leading the article to label Raddatz&#8217;s efforts as unsuccessful (&#8220;0-3 swinging&#8221;) and naming it a &#8220;Liberal media Scream.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brent Baker from the Media Research Center is quoted, suggesting that Raddatz had an agenda to get guests to condemn Trump and proposing that a more relevant inquiry would have been why more attention isn&#8217;t directed toward the real threats of political violence instead of focusing on Trump&#8217;s words. The article concludes by rating this media episode four out of five on their &#8220;scream&#8221; scale, highlighting it as an example of biased media behavior. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Martha Raddatz went 0-3 swinging for Trump hate: Liberal Media Scream<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2229575\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>In the fallout of the assassination of youthful Turning Point USA founder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/charlie-kirk\/\">Charlie Kirk<\/a>, there has been the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trend-holds-trump-up-by-2-points-over-harris-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Trend holds: Trump up by 2 points over Harris - Washington Examiner\">liberal media&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s refusal to accept its role in dividing the nation, as it instead tries to blame President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> for the Left&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3444699\/timeline-increasing-incidents-political-violence-in-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">political violence.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Martha Raddatz led the way while hosting ABC&rsquo;s <em>This Week<\/em> on Sunday.
