Fox News Delivers The Word Of God On Mass Shootings Like San Bernardino

Fox News doesn’t just want you to think that prayer is the answer to mass shootings, it wants you to think the network is a direct pipeline from God.

The messenger for this absolutist view was Alveda King, Fox News contributor and the conservative niece of Martin Luther King. She’s estranged from the family (which Fox always seems to forget to mention when they hype her lineage). You need look no further than her ridiculous complaint about President Obama’s widely-praised Selma speech to understand why.

This particular Alveda King appearance was an attack on the New York Daily News for ripping Republican politicians for offering “prayers” (instead of solutions) to the San Bernardino shooting victims.

KING: When I saw the front page of that paper, and the words, “God is not going to fix this,” I realized immediately that people just don’t have an understanding of what prayer is, and we certainly must pray for the families, the colleagues and the friends of those who have been slain. …It is the human heart that causes good or evil. Some people can be violent, and some people can be helpful, and so God will fix this through the hearts of human beings.

Cavuto interrupted to whine and kiss up, “They don’t buy it. Alveda. You are a wonderful woman of God. What I like about you is you’ll tick off both sides. I think God would be proud of that.”

God would also be proud of smearing the “mainstream media” for not seeing God the way Fox News does, apparently. Cavuto continued, “But my honest point is on this, I think this really provided a window into the mainstream media’s thinking. Always critical of God, always critical of those who rally around God, either they’re hypocrites or they’re not really men and women of good intent, that the religious right is always grilled for being just silly and hypocritical, and I think this just provided an opportunity to say it.”

“We have to stand firm and take action,” King said. By which she meant we have to take no action other than to pray. “And when we get our motivation from our action is through prayer. …We do need gun control to a certain extent, but we don’t need any new laws, and we don’t need to disarm the people. …We have to pray, get direction and change our hearts.”

”Well said, as only you can,” Cavuto said approvingly.
