Shame on Fox News - Baton Rouge

Don't give me crap about watching Fox...I rarely subject myself. But there are good reasons.

Today...the first three people they interviewed concerning the the shootings in Baton Rouge dumped the blame on Obama. They said that he had blood on his hands. They have no shame in using this tragedy for political purposes.

Fuck Fox News.

By the way...Someone mentioned that the person who called 911 that lured the police into the ambush was African American. How do they know. Typically 911 operators don't ask a persons ethnicity. And if it was by voice alone, that would be difficult especially in Baton Rouge.

I don't have the stomach to endure it, but I also appreciate when some brave soul keeps us informed.

It's what they do. Tearing at the fabric of America.

Do people really watch Fox expecting truth, decency and impartiality?

...the Fox commentators did nothing to stop the people being interviewed AND they mentioned the term "law and order" several times...tying into the Trump emphasis.

Anyone who says his words were divisive or intended to inflame hatred against police is mentally ill or a lying propagandist.

The absolute insane clown posse that is their party. How they're owned by every corporation, bank and MIC, whatever. How they hate and use people for wealth extraction and nothing more. The stupidity in this country is really burning us all.
