The media commentators are engaging in much more tasteless rhetoric than was allowed 20 or 30 yrs ago!

Yes, it's called stochastic terrorism. By continually mass broadcasting hatred, anger, and violent rhetoric, then giving people a target, you increase the odds that at least one of them will be so filled with bitterness and so worked up that they will act on it. And as you can see from some of the comments here, it's working.
