Evaluating the quantity and news treatment of political violence can be a tedious business, if you do it right. The more information you gather, the more you realize that while ordinary citizens have bias, news outlets can magnify that bias simply by omitting details — either through being short-staffed, biased themselves, or not trained in thorough and fair reporting.

It’s impossible, however, when comparing the torching of political signs at farms in both Massachusetts and California, not to notice that one suspect is being held without bail (the one who torched the Democrat display), and the other is (or others are) still on the loose after doing the dirty deed of torching the Trump display twice!
