What Fox is accused of by Media Matters for America or anybody else is a political opinion and not a legal charge. Read some court cases about inciting a riot. It is very difficult to meet the elements of that crime.

Does yelling at the TV set count?
Democrats believe that "words are violence". I believe in the old "sticks and stones" meme. I understand that in prison culture, just "looking at someone" can be considered violence.
I have never rioted.

Not only does that depend on the particular incitement law being used, but you're also wrong. Criminal incitement refers to conduct, words, or other means that urge or naturally lead others to riot, violence, or insurrection.

Where did you learn that?
This is 18 U.S.C. § 2101 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure § 2101. Riots:

(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or
(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;
and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other overt act for any purpose specified in subparagraph (A), (B), (C), or (D) of this paragraph 1--
Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

Furthermore, in Brandenburg v. Ohio, the Supreme Court ruled that incitement of events in the indefinite future was protected, but encouragement of "imminent" illegal acts was not protected.
