      These people are rotten as hell. One has to wonder, what are they teaching their children? Issue after issue, all they do is display their ignorance, stupidity and hate and somehow manage to keep a job.
      What ever happened to intelligence, integrity and responsibility? These people/broadcasters are devious and those who follow them are dangerous. America is in big trouble..

        Speaking of what they teach their children, I remember once watching a 'Jerry Springer'-type show that had KKK members and their kids. One woman in the audience held a brief conversation with one little girl, then revealed that she (the woman) was Jewish. The poor little girl, who had been taught that Jews are 'less than human' (the extrapolation of the KKK's teachings/views), began crying, because she had a very friendly conversation up to that point. I hope that the girl learned from that, and broke away from the KKK.

      Yeah . . . not so much. While both are probably mentally deranged, I'm thinking the similarities end there.

      So.....what FNC is saying is that two random events can be connected to each other? Isn't this Glenn Back kind of stuff? Next thing you know, FNC is going to try to connect the Fort Hood shooting to 9-11.

      I really wish that FNC would just stop peddling conspiracy theories and actually report news on their news shows. Apparently FNC hasn't realized that saying, "We don't know what is going on yet, but we'll keep you posted." is an acceptable phrase to say when covering news stories.

      everyone on this site is just out to jump all over fox. I'm sure that almost every other new outlet said the samething when they first started to report this news. I thought that the non profit MMFA was to be a non-partisan organization, why is it that all that is on here is Fox bashing?

      Fox hears a report that the shooter was a former employee at the office where the shooting ocurred but announce on the air that "Fox has not confirmed that"

      But at the same time, openly speculate that this is a copycat situation.
