Fox 'News' Fans React With Anti-American Glee To Fatal Mudslides In California

Mod: The following upsetting report comes to us from a site much beloved here called "Crooks & Liars." It details how the viewers of a certain news network have reacted to word of the disasters here in California.

Fox 'News' Fans React With Anti-American Glee To Fatal Mudslides In CA (Crooks & Liars): The response from Fox News fans to the deadly flooding and mudslides in California proves that this is a network for people who hate America. Today, FoxNews.com reported:

At least 13 people were killed Tuesday after a powerful winter storm drenching Southern California sent mud, rocks and debris plummeting down wildfire-scarred hillsides and into several neighborhoods, some of which house lavish celebrity homes. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown confirmed the deaths at a news conference Tuesday, in which he said the affected areas of the state "looked like a World War I battlefield."

Fox News also reported that more deaths are expected.That engendered hideous glee from a slew of readers who seem to have nothing but hate and hostility toward their country.

delivers? From their Twitter accounts to computer, software and gaming development, will they give that up? No doubt the haters will stop watching blockbuster movies and popular TV shows produced here, and they'll never visit California's scenic tourist spots or world renowned theme parks. In terms Republicans understand, unlike their Republican held 'taker states', California is a 'donor state' and we pay more in taxes than we receive back in federal spending. Will the freeloading rightwing haters risk losing California's booming economy, the 6th largest in the world, that supports their mismanaged red states, states that Republicans are deliberately keeping poor, uneducated, sick and underdeveloped to stay in power.

Are they going to give up all the fresh produce, wines and dairy products we produce, or all the popular restaurant franchises based in California? The world, including the states where these idiots live, depends on California's cutting edge aerospace industry, our world class medical and scientific R&D, and they think they can get by without us? PPfftt!

Dear God--people died. It doesn't matter WHERE this happened, it happened, and people are suffering. Lives are destroyed.

How incredibly hateful. Kurt Eichenwald is right. Faux is NOT in any way a news organization. It is the home of white nationalists and anti-Semites.
