It would appear the left has completely forgot about Covid-19. Its fascinating how three weeks ago, liberal media was condemning “open up protesters” but condoning actual rioting (burning, looting, shooting) today. Unbelievable.

How many internal--and ultimately unsustainable--contradictions of liberalism are on display here alone?

The ideologies of left and right are so diametrically opposed, that I've lost hope we'd find some common ground to coexist. If we truly believe in freedoms this country was founded upon, I think it's time to let each side live as they see fit apart from the other. We can still be neighbors, but it's a fairy tale to think we'll be united again.

Political divide has been a thing in this country even before it officially became one. The difference is we have an overzealous media that the Founders hadn’t thought about.

Well, if you believe the nonsense he posted about the liberal media condoning rioting, looting, burning , and shooting, I'd have to agree with you. When a person so loses sight of reality there's little that can be done to overcome such extensive ignorance.

I can see how one can say the media does not "condone" the rioting & looting, fair enough. However, they do treat it with kid gloves, rationalize why it is occurring and look to offer excuses for those committing it. They probably walk right up to the line of condoning and stand on their tip toes at the edge. It is a much softer treatment than they have given to, say, people who make a rational argument against wearing masks in outdoor public areas. The media treats those folks like rioters!!
Using the word "condoning" to describe what the media is doing is not as you say "extensive ignorance". Rather it may be a slight embellishment, but by any measure, it does come close to the target. You are using the same tactics as the media by claiming that usage of that word means one has lost sight of reality, when in actuality, condoning is a much closer apt description of what they are doing than "condemning" is.
You took a fair point (the medias action does not meet the criteria of condoning) and then molested it into an unfair an incorrect assessment of The Frog. In fact, it could be said that for one to make a stretch such as you did, one would have to completely lose sight of reality.
