Totally clueless aren't they? So shocked anyone would point the finger that them... ...and they will never buy that clue either. What did anyone expect them to say? "Oh! You got us..."

what total white privilege to deny deny culpability in the growing climate of racial divisiveness and hate. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. White privilege and racism in the media. Fine example. DAMN!!!!!!

There is no question about it. They might as well be wearing swastikas.

7. Fox 'News' is nonstop hatred and division.

Of course they distort the message of the South Carolina lawmaker. And don't give him the opportunity to clarify his views. Instead they drone on about how Fox (and by extension their hate-filled white viewers) is the victim.

That way they keep bullying & blaming minorities (and everyone with decency & intelligence) with their incessant self-righteous bullshit. Zero self-reflection. They say that can be a debate at a later date. Like, when pigs fly. They have no intention of having a meaningful conversation at any later date. Unless it's on their terms, where they can continue bullying and cutting off any other voices but their own.

The one purveyor of truth constantly under attack by an evil force. The media version of fundamentalism.

Ya'know a cult.

Within the bubble of constant reinforcement of message, even Heaven's Gate seemed like a good idea.

like they are the real victims helps them to bully or ignore or pay lip service to the millions of us who aren't a part of their 'blame the poor, blame the immigrants, blame minorities' hogwash.

Jmho, but how dare she claim a right to these people, when she's among those trying so hard to make it out to be anything but what it is - pure racism and hatred - which they absolutely do push on Faux Snooze. I hate when people do that. They don't give enough of a * to tell the truth about why this horror occurred, yet portray themselves as victims for losing them. Pure, dishonest bullshit.
