Not sure it’s new. Calling an abortion doctor “baby killer” night after night on tv seems like it could be inviting ardent abortion foes to action.
Or are you thinking more direct calls for action?

TheDoctorIsIn:No. This isn’t about “us”.
I don’t accept your premises.
Fair enough but…I don’t like it. “We” are too heated and it isn’t good…period IMO and it’s the MSM that’s fanning the flames with sometimes…lies.
Can you give some examples of what you consider “fanning the flames” by the MSM?
I am amazed that responsible yet fallible journalism like ABC, Reuters, AP, NYT are discarded as being worthless yet the same people that trash those sources provide links to GatewayPundit, Drudge, Project Veritas and Breitbart.
This.
…
If it’s the Liberal Democrat Mainstream Media(ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN),
then no. They always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.Everyone is America should automatically listen to these media outlets,
and consider everything that they say is a fact!And don’t you ever!!! EVER question them! Or your a Racist, or a Sexist,
or phobic, or an ist of some kind!!!
This is known as a straw man “argument”.
Or in other circles, 90% of Rush Limbaugh programming.
My question is this:
Who gets to decide what media stories are true or not? Who do you trust with that kind of power?
TheDoctorIsIn:As far as I’m concerned, its the conspiracy theorists, james okeefes and videos of talking cats that are at the root of this problem. Not the “MSM”.
Since Trump has become President especially…I’m surprised to hear that response from you …that you’re not seeing it?
The more straightforward explanation is that Trump is like no president we’ve ever had before…and not in a good way.
Smyrna:Now we have doctored videos that don’t just say something. It fools the viewer into believing with their own eyes. It’s a tad different now…don’t you think?
This is a fascinating concern coming from someone so fond of the Project Veritas series.
You know “veritas” mean truth in Latin?
So, they would never mislead.
Yeah its called sedition, conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a country, these days known as fake news which makes the current day MSM a true enemy of the people and the country.
but when I see large segments of Trump’s sentences being left out and then piece mealing in words to imply something totally removed from what he said
Clipped this part because it amazes me to read a criticism of a technique much used by Our Esteemed Host, and Fox News more widely.
Cf. " … you didn’t build that …", Obama’s alleged “apology tour,” and many more. Those clip jobs made a lot of people angry.

I bolded what hopefully even you can figure out is the truly nonsensical part of your post.
Can you figure out why it’s nonsensical?
The “hands up don’t shoot” lie pushed by the fake news and Politicians caused a lot of cops to be killed IMO
Police fatality statistics are matters of fact, not your opinion.
IMO.
I definitely think a President who habitually and recklessly lies and distorts the truth SHOULD be held accountable.
Unfortunately, his immoral and rudderless base has no intention of ever holding him accountable for anything negative he does. He doesn’t even do anything that really helps them, but he regularly echoes their xenophobia and racism, which is enough to keep them happy.
What does that have to do with fake news pushing lies that caused Cops to be killed?
Held Responsible by who?
Sigh…
That it’s your OPINION that “fake news” is responsible for police fatalities.
Stay off the weed, hopper.

Well, many media outlets (newspapers, radio/tv networks) have a very long history, some over a century, of using the tenets of journalism as a guide.
Others, mostly created in the last 25 years, were created as a business model meant to cater to a certain ideology. The fact that anyone would think those outlets are trying to be the least bit “fair and balanced” is ridiculous and incredibly naive.
But I guess as long as you can find a talking head to agree with you, you don’t care if what they’re saying is actually true.
Fact, the hands up don’t shoot was a lie pushed by very sick people.
Well, no, there are innocent people murdered by cops on an unfortunately regular basis.
Just go ask Daniel Shaver.
It was a lie!
No, there are cops that shoot innocent people in America. It’s real and it happens.
