(18,624 posts)Anyone who watches the evening version of Fox News entertainment is certain Obama et al have destroyed "their" beloved country, and they're just months away from internment in a FEMA camp where they'll slave away producing solar panels and CFC light bulbs.
I used to watch Hannity once in a while when he still had Colmes on the show, and I can attest that the daily bombardment of Democratic Doomsday is indeed maddening. I just wish the perpetrators of this recent spate of random shootings just skip to the inevitable final phase of their sinister plan and spare their innocent victims all the misery.
Perhaps along with responsible and tempered gun legislation we can look into laws governing responsible journalism. At least a disclaimer before the "news" show that lets the viewer know that they're about to hear one man's opinion that may not be based in actual facts. I talk to a fair number of conservatives who spout wild conspiracy theories ranging from mass gun confiscation to Obama's Agenda 21, and when I ask where they learned this, they say "it was on the news". Actually, it wasn't.
