FoxNews Thinks Domestic Violence is FUNNY - Oh yes they did go there...




The hosts of Fox and Friends discussed the incident of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching then-fiancée Janay Palmer, knocking her unconsious after entering an elevator - all captured on security footage. The hosts go on to mention that the fight between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles had also occurred in an elevator.

Their takeaway after all the discussion? The important message regarding domestic abuse?

“The message is, take the stairs,” Kilmeade said.

the hosts react with audible laughter and grins.

Steve Doocy then goes on to offer his take on the subject:

“The message is, when you’re in an elevator, there’s a camera,” Doocy said.



Domestic abuse... a subject of hilarity on FoxNews. Yes, they consider this a NEWS program.

It's easy to understand how Fox News could be so tone deaf on the issue of domestic violence when you realize that their only reason for running this story is to further their narrative that black men are thugs; and want to take every opportunity to portray them as such. Suddenly it makes sense. "What? Violence against women? What does THAT have to do with this story?"

with the exception of Greta, the rest of the women are all Hair, Makeup, boobs and short skirts.
"Sexy" women reciting rw talking points. Brains optional.

Why DO so many women who are abused go back, and even MARRY their abuser? Should be outlawed?
