Trump encourages attacks on media? I see the media spawning attacks on President Trump and all who stand by him. TD
What about the MSM's role in this incident?
Shameless CNN anchor tries to bait Capital Gazette employee into blaming Trump for shooting
"The indisputable fact that the deranged shooter’s beef with the Annapolis Capital Gazette predated Donald Trump’s entry into politics was no obstacle to blaming the president for the newsroom massacre on CNN’s airwaves. But’s one thing to irrationally attribute causality for a cable news anchor, but quite another to attempt to lure a near-victim of the shooting into that obsession." . . .
10 Despicable Attacks Blaming President Trump for the Annapolis Capital Gazette Shooting
. . . "On Thursday, a middle-aged white man with a grudge targeted the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md. He killed five people and injured two others. Before his motives became known, both liberals and conservatives assumed a political motive. Many liberals went so far as to directly blame President Donald Trump for the shooting.

Trump has occasionally egged on his supporters to violence in rallies, and that is unacceptable. It is utterly absurd to blame the president for the Annapolis shooting, however.
Before listing the worst liberal attacks — and yes, I am getting there, don't worry — I have to mention alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos' rightly infamous text wishing death upon journalists. "I can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight," Yiannopoulos wrote.
Whatever you think of Yiannopoulos, this text is disgusting and has no place in civil discourse. It is unclear just how broadly Yiannopoulos intended his words to go — it was a text message, so perhaps he did not intend anyone but the direct recipient to see it. Even so, this was despicable. Similarly absurd was Sean Hannity's decisionto blame Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) — who deserves condemnation for urging harassment on Trump staffers — for the Annapolis shooting.
