In Wake Of Lafayette Shooting, Fox News Goes To O'Reilly Rerun

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on July 23, 2015 · Flag

There was another mass shooting in the United States tonight. A gunman opened fire in a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, killing two people and himself. Fox News covered the event during most of the Hannity show. But at 11PM ET, Fox left the news to rerun the night's The O'Reilly Factor. CNN and MSNBC stayed with the story.

At 11:34 PM ET, CNN was carrying a press conference with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal live.

At 11:35 PM ET, MSNBC covered the breaking news.

But at 11:33 PM ET (or 8:33 PT) Fox News was discussing how host Kennedy got started in her news career.

Do you think Fox's apathy may have had something to do with the fact that the shooter was reported to be a white man? Let me know what you think.

Watch the mashup below, from late July 23, 2015.

As long as we all realize than the easy availability of guns in the US had absolutely nothing to do with this shooting. Nothing at all…………………

From CNN: John Russell Houser apparently penned anti-government, anti-media blog posts.

Anti-government, eh? He was part of Fox’s target audience! No wonder they don’t want to talk about it!

It should be interesting hearing Junior O’Reilly’s perspective on this gunman. The gunman being one of Junior’s fellow elderly white males.

They ran the usual BOR repeat, huh? Hmm, it does make one wonder why – but I feel quite secure in suggesting that if the heinous act at the theater had been perpetrated by a suspected/confirmed Muslim shooter, the BOR repeat would have been pushed aside.

I heard a report the other night about a FL gun shop owner who, after the Chattanooga, TN shootings, declared his business to be a Muslim-free zone. He said, “Now, I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community,” Hallinan said in front of a Confederate flag. “And so effective immediately I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply a Muslim-free zone.”

So, using that same logic, after last night’s shooting and the Aurora, CO shooting, perhaps movie theaters should be declared white male-free zones? Just sayin’…

This wacko is an old hateful white guy. Just like what you might find at Birther Boy Trump rally. Move along, nothing to see here.

Had he been one those illegal Mexican immigrants or a radical Mooslem, Fux Noise would be focused on it 24/7.

And yes to the question. Or maybe they realized Jindal’s a buffoon and did something right. Shoot. i’m having a cognitive dissonance attack.

Her acute skills came from the difficult task of working for MTV. Challenging.

@ Bob Roberts: “Hell, I’d rather hear about Kennedy’s start in news anyway, it must be more special than her career on MTV.”

Shoot — I thought her start in news WAS on MTV . . .

Do you think Fox’s apathy may have had something to do with the fact that the shooter was reported to be a white man?

I think Fox’s apathy had EVERYTHING to do with the fact the shooter was reported to be a white man.

Had the shooter been a minority/immigrant/Muslim/all of the above, Fox would have been on the story nonstop, would have had one of the victims’ family members on for an interview, said how it was one more example of an “illegal” committing a crime, called for closing the border, and reiterated how we need to start profiling based on race and/or religion (while decrying the need for any gun regulations.)

Oh, and they would have made sure to blame President Obama . . .

I don’t know about this, were any of the victims “beautiful” young women with their wonderful, giving, charitable lives ahead of them. If not, was the shooter another crazy white guy armed to the teeth, who of course was suffering from some mental illness, not like the shooter in San Fran who wasn’t mentally ill, but an illegal and a felon.

I guess it was the former. Chalk another white shooter up for mental illness. Nothing for O’Loofah to see here. Hell, I’d rather hear about Kennedy’s start in news anyway, it must be more special than her career on MTV.

Do you think the lack of interest was due to the fact that the shooter was reportedly a white man?
