Fox News’ Outnumbered show discussed #AllLivesMatter with a “fair and balanced” panel of five people with the same anti-Black Lives Matter opinion.
On Monday, the four white cohosts of Outnumbered were so busy insisting that there couldn’t possibly be anything objectionable about #AllLivesMatter, they couldn’t be bothered to look into why at least some African Americans do. Even though this has been explained on Fox News.

And they seemed to have no trouble at all supporting Blue Lives Matter…

Apparently, they can’t get it through their thick heads that it is not so much offensive, but that it deflects the argument in a completely different direction. But then fox news tends to be expert at doingnjust that

Was there any doubt #BlackLivesMatter would disconnect with ‘fair and balanced’ right-wing Fox News? This is a repeat of a bad movie with past conservative rants like the NAACP is a racist organization because there’s no National Association for the Advancement of White People. Or maybe there is. The KKK. Never mind.
If #AllLivesMatter grew organically from creating a sense of community or diversity it’d be one thing. However, it’s obviously part of a bigoted conservative movement to discredit the mission of #BlackLivesMatter and even go as far as to paint #BlackLivesMatter as some sort of black supremacist group.
Given the all the recent headlines making it obvious African-Americans have reached a tipping point and aren’t going to put up with not only police abuse but a litany of other biases too, you’d think Fox would get the point. Ah, let me rephrase since I think Fox gets the point. I’d expect Fox to be more subtle about being such callous bigots.
