Terrorism in Charleston, SC

Should pastors and other church leaders pack heat? Maybe even hide it in their bible so they can blow away any potential threat?
 
Even if he target them because they are Christians that would still qualify as a hate crime.

Pastors should carry if that individual pastor and church think he should. A general "yes" or "no" wouldn't work.
 
Jesus, that's terrible. Gotta be whacked outta your gourd to do something as despicable as that. This guy clearly hated the world.

It sucks that he had a gun, also, mentally ill people gonna mentally ill.

Huge difference doe. According to Fox

Christians are being attacked for their stance on gay marriage.

Blacks are being attacked because they're lazy, get women pregnant, and want to live off welfare. So when they're attacked it's really just whites and cops acting in self defense.
 
1) Why do we care what Fox says? Only one person in here is talking about them, and that's you.

2) Why do I even bother with you? Why do I hate myself so much?

What do you think feeds this racist fire?

You can't have an entire network dedicated to pissing people off and flaming the racism fire and not feel its effects. Did you know that the majority of republicans still dont t believe that Obama is an American? If you don't think fox has largely contributed to this then I have beach front property in Kansas to sell to you.

We need to address racism in this country. We can start by shutting down a racist propaganda source like fox.
 
Why do I hate myself so much?

It stems from your time with Father O'Haagen when you were 11.

I dunno... most people hate themselves to a degree. Every once in a while I get caught up in internet nonsensical areas too.

Perfectly put. The retarded masses are easily manipulated and it's very disturbing the Fox News execs and personalities are fine with exploiting that with cheap tactics for the sake of making a lot of money.

You know that average age of Fox News viewers is something like 72, right? Not exactly "the masses". Most people don't follow the news very closely, propaganda or otherwise.

Exactly.

And we would be better off without it.

I really do believe the propaganda on Fox is hindering our progression as a country on various issues.
 
Naw you guys are right, CNN and other mainstream media types aren't provoking people or inciting racial stuff at all. And good job politicizing a tragedy. You guys rock!

Not quite. Compared to its rivals? It gathers far more younger views.

n a generally overall down year for the cable news genre, Fox News remained the dominant ratings force in 2014, while CNN made some meaningful demo strides relative to a sagging MSNBC.

Behind the highest-rated programs in cable news -- including "The O'Reilly Factor," which was again top dog among all programs -- Fox News finished on top in both total viewers and the adults 25-54 news demo for a 13th straight year, according to Nielsen's "most current" estimates through Dec. 26.

Fox News was also the only cable newser up in the demo in primetime, as it opened up bigger advantages over the runner-up network in both 25-54 and total viewers.

It is the channel for the GOP:

The Fox News audience skews more ideological than that of its two main competitors. Fully, 60% of Fox News viewers describe themselves as conservative, compared with 23% who say they are moderate and 10% who are liberal, according to a 2012 survey by the Pew Research Center. By contrast, the ideological makeup of CNN viewers (32% conservative, 30% moderate, 30% liberal) and MSNBC viewers (32% conservative, 23% moderate, 36% liberal) is far more mixed.

And it still leads in the "news"

But with 1.7 million viewers each evening, the channel still drew a bigger audience than CNN, MSNBC and HLN combined.

Scary no?

They aren't to the extent of Fox News. Sorry. The truth hurts.
 

1.7m is miserably tiny. Just because the rest of the trash news channels (all TV news channels apart from Al-Jazeera) do a lot worse doesn't mean people are clamoring to watch Fox News. Given the incredibly old age of the average viewer, it is basically a channel that is made to pander to old conservatives who want to shout at the TV about how Mexicans are destroying America. It is utterly irrelevant. No reason whatsoever to get worked up over it.
