Fox News As A Hate Group
Fox News has proved again and again it is promoting hate and terror among the American People!
How else could Steve Doocy have opined on Fox News that it was “extraordinary” that the Charleston church shooting was called a hate crime? How can Fox wonder if it had a racial element to it when Roof is on record as saying during the shooting that he wanted to kill black people because they are “taking over”?
This combination of warped mentality, group think and profiting off tragedy is the hallmark of Fox, But the poison of its commentators is effective because it taps into a history of white supremacist belief that appears widely and perniciously in many guises.

Why is this important?
We don’t care to debate whether the Fox commentators are sincere when they voice their corrosive ideas, or if it is simply a matter of a herd mentality that kicks in when more than one of them is in a room and the klieg lights are on, but there is no denying that they and Fox make money off this. This is a classic example of sensationalistic yellow journalism. And it’s worse because it is also ideologically driven, and it perpetuates racist ideology.
