The media keeps claiming that President Trump is encouraging violence against them. But the media are not the true victims here, and they will largely have themselves to blame if violence does befall them.

Talking about Trump, MSNBC's Katy Tur said last Friday: "Yeah, we get it, you don't like us. Fine. But do you have to put our lives in danger?"

You know, conservatives have been asking that ever since the election.

But you prissy media twits haven’t had your heads smashed in with bike locks like conservatives have.

In other words, world’s smallest violin time. Boo hoo.

I'm willing to wait until the riots the Partisan Media Shills (PMS) are inciting turns into a new civil war. Thanks rogerantone1.

18 Apr 2016: NBC: Bad News: Just 6 Percent of People Say They Trust the Media
by Associated Press
Just 6 percent of people say they have a lot of confidence in the media, putting the news industry about equal to Congress and well below the public’s view of other institutions. In this presidential campaign year, Democrats were more likely to trust the news media than Republicans or independents…

Faced with ever-increasing sources of information, Americans also are more likely to rely on news that is up-to-date, concise and cites expert sources or documents, according to a study by the Media Insight Project, a partnership of The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute…
The poll shows that accuracy clearly is the most important component of trust…
The news media have been hit by a series of blunders on high-profile stories…

By that logic the media already has Steve Scalise’s blood on their hands.

They want violence perpetrated against them so they can then claim victim status and become untouchable. Victims in this country are always considered not responsible for what happened and completely innocent of any wrong doing themselves.

“They want violence perpetrated against them so they can then claim victim status and become untouchable”

And yet they won't report the violence perpetuated against the NBC News Team by ANTIFA.

They want violence perpetrated against them so they can then claim victim status and become untouchable.

Exactly, but they're not getting any violence (except from Antifa) which leads them to whining about nothing.

No harm has come to any ‘news person’ in the United States because of Trump.

BUT Trump supporters have been attacked and damaged... because of press hated of Trump and his supporters.

More cheap stupid projection on the part of the press.

Remember when that Lara Logan from CBS news was raped in Egypt? CBS execs was more upset with her when she reported about Benghazi that the obama administration did not like and they suspended her.
