Are you serious? Do you really think they have just as many as before the President of the United states hissed his fans on them on national television and twitter?

Good joke.

Good job moving goalposts. Quantity or frequency is irrelevant. The point is that it's been there even since so stop making it out to be some new Phenomenon.

If you wanna talk about quantitative comparison go show some solid proof since you're so sure about your claim. Give me data or back off.

Well, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence from the journalists who are receiving death threats for the first time, or greatly increased death threats from what they have in the past:  http://deadline.com/2017/07/cnn-brian-stelter-anti-journalism-smears-lies-death-threats-reliable-sources-donald-trump-jr-1202125711/

If you want something more objective, how about this:  When was the last time a member of Congress (note: this example is of a successful candidate; he has not yet assumed the actual position) physically assaulted a journalist acting in his capacity as a member of the press?  Before, that is, the time when then-candidate Greg Gianforte body-slammed a reporter for asking a question, knocking him to the ground and breaking his glasses, and many Republican voters applauded him for it. 

Fox News reporter Alicia Acuna, who was at Gianforte's headquarters to interview the candidate and witnessed the incident, posted a full-length story on the channel's website saying Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck, “slammed” him to the ground and punched him.

Acuna wrote that "at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte."

(The congressman-elect has since pleaded guilty to assault in return for a no-jail-time sentence.)
