    In no way does this ever excuse violence, but maybe it should be considered that ordinary people have legitimate reasons to disdain "the media" as a nebulous conceptual entity, given all the horrendous failings that the media has been complicit in over the years

        Once you detach from any mental association with "the media" as a conceptual entity, the attacks cease to register. They're just attacks against an abstraction. Sort of like how people say they hate Congress, but support their individual Congressman

        hasn't the internet obliterated all understanding of what is and isn't media? you have 70k followers. can you make a case that you aren't 'media'? and don't deserve the disdain?

        I do work in media, but I've detached from any mental association with "the media" as a conceptual entity. I also expect to be disdained

        Given that Obama has made legal to propagandize people via the media we are rightfully disdainful. #ThanksObama

        Like, say when they lie about getting a savage beatdown by elderly congresswomen whike filming themselves? Yeah. How do people trust "the media" after blantant falsehoods like that?

        You're supposedly a journalist. Which means you understand language. Is it not a VERY long step between disdain and violence? You appear to think it's but a nudge away.

        There's a massive difference between disdain and inciting violence.
