What is Fox's obsession with blacks looting??

[liberaliraqvet26]

This is unbelievable. How many times are they going to show the 10 minute riot in Toledo?? Isn't anything else more important going on?

1. They know how excited it makes their viewers.

2. The Faux demographic is skinheads, they're feeding the beast.

[MADem]

3. It's that old plantation mentality

Keep them guns nearby, now, 'cause you never know when those cheerful field hands might get restless!!! :sarcasm:

[Marr]

4. Hate and fear are the glue that holds the conservative movement together.

If you want to maintain hatred and fear, you have to give people enemies to hate and fear. Several enemies, in fact. They've got "islamofascists", liberals, blacks, and a handful of others.

17. On that note - I saw this on a church sign this AM

"Fear and Faith - both work on what can't be seen"

Not the exact wording, but you get the idea. Both are used by the Fundies . . .

Reminds me of the "Church Police" sketch from Monty Python.

5. FEAR.

and to also counter the Million More March.

11. Right

Bingo. I imagine most of their features are cooked up to take attention away from what the left is doing.

[WarNoMore]

6. I know.

Was just telling my daughter about their coverage. Gawd! The newsperson? was talking about a "race war".

[ComerPerro]

7. Well, lets see. I imagine this is rhetorical. Consider:

Fox viewers are conservatives.

Conservatives tend to be racist (hell, its a traditional value, right?)

It is human nature that people like to see and hear their views reinforced.

Therefore, Fox News, a network built by conservatives, for conservatives, is helping to spread the message, "black people bad".

8. Fox is rebutting the Millions More March with this

Isn't that easier than covering Wyclef and the speakers?

9. We need to call off

this darned Plame investigation. Free Tom Delay, too. Blacks are rioting.

[StClone]

10. Great time to advertise Saddam's Trial

It's all sport to FUX's loyal viewers.

12. Be afraid! Be very afraid...

They tried to do it in New Orleans. I think hatred & fear are two things the neocon movement feeds off of. Not just fear of terrorists but fear in general. This is all my mother wanted to talk about today. I think they exploit people's fear in order to maintain & get control. Once people are afraid enough, they look for someone to make them feel safe. And there's Bush with the martial law solution.

13. They realize most of their audience doesnt want to go to Iraq to kill the

bogeyman. So they're working on rekindling another favorite bogeyman of American history.

[converted_democrat]

14. They are appealing to their base..........

[Arugula Latte]

15. A lot of people can't or don't want to grasp complex issues

like Bushco helping Enron screw California or corruption by the top Repukes or corporations pillaging taxpayers or a staggering national debt, etc. But, dark-skinned people rioting? Why, it just feed right into their simplistic, rascist view of the world and confirms that they are Good and "the others" are Bad. I think most of these people are insecure and they are constantly looking for ways to prop their own egos up.

[gatorboy]

16. They're still waiting for that one orgasm-inducing story....

Rioting...in Aruba! Oh, MAN! Light the cigarette's after that one!
