Walmart yanked the shirt within a day of receiving a complaint Wednesday from the Radio Television Digital News Association. The clothing was offered for sale by third-party vendor Teespring on the Walmart site.

The product ?clearly violates our policy,? said a Walmart statement to CBS News. The company is now reviewing all products for sale on its site from Teespring. The shirts have also vanished from the Teespring site.

RTDNA noted in its emailed complaint that nearly three dozen journalists have been assaulted in the U.S. this year ?merely for performing their Constitutionally-guaranteed duty to seek and report the truth.? Such messages ?inflame the passions? of those who don?t like the media and, at worst, ?openly encourage violence targeting journalists,? added the email, written by RTDNA?s executive director, Dan Shelley.
