Michael Moore: Fox News Helped Create Generation Of ‘Violent Conspiracy Theorists’
“Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel and right-wing radio have preyed upon those who’ve seen their American Dream go up in smoke.”

By Lee Moran


Michael Moore said Fox News is partly to blame for helping to create a generation of violent conspiracy theorists in America.

The filmmaker’s criticism of the conservative network came after an image of his face in crosshairs was found stickered on the van of suspect Cesar Sayoc, who is accused of mailing pipe bombs this week to leading Democrats, critics of President Donald Trump and CNN.

“Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel and right-wing radio have preyed upon those who’ve seen their American Dream go up in smoke,” Moore said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “And they have helped to create a generation of angry and violent conspiracy theorists who will believe any lie that is perpetrated on those airwaves.”

Rarely is cause-and-effect so obvious, but I do not doubt the ability of the average StormTrumper to delve even deeper into denial.
