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.) 

Anecdotal doesn't begin to paint the picture properly.

I checked the link, I saw only claims. But there is no data. So why am I again being quoted with no answers again?

We can all go bring up quantitative comparissons just for the hell of it but go ahead and do refute my point of this existing for a long time.

Because right now it's just he said she said thing.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
