When mere commentators do it in an opinion segment, I "counter" with.... Hannity. That's some serious stuff too.

Funny, I don't see the terms "neo-nazi" or "fascist" or "anti-semite" either--unless the press is reporting on actual events like the destruction of Jewish cemeteries and bomb threats to synagogues, which have spiked recently, or the white nationalist celebrations which followed Trump's election.

Sometimes the terms appear in press reports of what prominent people say about leaders; but the MSM mostly filters that out unless deemed relevant. E.g. When actress Stacy Dash calls Obama an "Islamic Fascist" and doesn't seem to know what she is talking about, only Fox covers it. There one frequently hears the term "Islamofascist." Right wingers see this filtering of nonsense as bias. Liberal bias for the most part is their term for upholding standards.

So the terms appear but they are not "thrown around" in MSM outlets.  There really isn't anything comparable to Rush and Hannity in MSM news commentary.
