The War On Democrats
“[The gunman] hears that because he watches the news and he watches things like Fox News, where they talk about things that they call news, but they’re really not. They use that coded language, they use hate speech, they talk about the president as if he’s not the president, they talk about churchgoers that they’re not really churchgoers. And that’s what this young man acted on. That’s why you can walk into a church and treat people like animals when they’re really human beings.”

Fox News Spin Can Cause Your Head To Explode
Within hours after Wednesday evening’s horrific massacre at a Charleston, S.C., church, police openly labeled the violence a “hate crime” after a witness said suspect Dylann Storm Roof declared that he came to kill black people. And yet, somehow, a handful of Fox News hosts and pundits refused to concede the racial aspect, instead making the story about the so-called “War on Christians.”

Larry Wilmore got a hold of all that footage and declared that the network’s coverage “makes my fucking head explode.
