“It's dangerous talk—and it's being peddled to the masses in broad daylight. You don't have to go to obscure online forums to find this type of unhinged discussion. Just turn on Fox News,” Oliver Darcy on right-wing rhetoric undermining law enforcement.

The all too common failure from major news orgs to be direct with audiences when covering politicians and media figures who traffick in lies and conspiracies leaves audiences with a distorted understanding of events. More in Reliable Sources: view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/16873…
