      Journalists obviously shouldn't be maliciously threatened, but let's be clear about something. The average journalist in the United States is in no way at risk of physical harm. Pretending otherwise inflates their collective ego. Try talking to commercial fishermen or roofers

      Comparing direct occupational hazard (accidents and injuries) to risk of being targeted for assassination is wildly disingenuous and misleading.

      Prior to today, a total of 3 journalists had been murdered in the past 15 years. So if we're talking about the notion of endangerment, it's a totally valid comparison

      Not at all. But trends have to start somewhere. My main concern was the ridiculous invalidity of the comparison. I’m in health care. Nurses and doctors get targeted all the damn time. Look at abortion clinic docs and nurses. Don’t want journalists to end up in that demographic

      And there's no good reason to believe they will. Nothing bothers me more than threat inflation, which always leads to unreason and hysteria

          Threat inflation is real. Like when Maxine threw you off a cartoon cliff.

          For the last year and half they have been targeted as an enemy of the American people. That’s scary and can certainly start a trend. People r wearing shirts that say “get a rope” abt journalist. That’s fucked up man

          So then you're bothered by trump's inflating the threat of immigrant crime? You're bothered by Bush's inflation of terrorism? I don't recall you ever mentioning that.

          So, Drumpf inflates threats every day about the press. His base is the least educated in forever. But no chance one of them might act on his Dear Leader’s words?

          Other than them being labeled enemies of the state by a president whose base advocates taking up arms for impending civil war, runs over protesters, and is responsible for upswing in hate crimes.
