Following the tragic shootings that occurred at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church on Wednesday night, a Democratic lawmaker from the South Carolina House pointed fingers at the hateful rhetoric of Fox News. Filling in for Megyn Kelly, Martha MacCallum attempted to repudiate this claim of fear-mongering and hate-mongering along with Howie Kurtz of Media Buzz. They were stunned, stunned I tell you, that ANYONE could ever accuse Fox News of what Todd Rutherford, House Minority Leader in South Carolina said.

RUTHERFORD: &quot regarding the shooter)...he did so based on some ill-gotten, wrong belief, that it's okay to do that. He hears that because he watches things like Fox News, where they talk about things that they call news, but they're really not. They use coded language, they use hate speech, They talk about the president as if he's not the president, they talk about church-goers like they're not really church-goers...He didn't just generate this out of the sky."

The reality is that Fox 'News' has been 'thrashing hysteria' for almost two decades and have poisoned the minds of a significant segment of the population. The network is banned in Canada for being irresponsible and misleading (by the CRTC: Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission, like our FCC) as they have a law that prohibits lying in the news, or “prohibited programming content” that includes “broadcasting false or misleading news.”
