SURPRISE: Fox News Doesn't Find Murderer's Reading List Newsworthy!!!!!!!!!
Edited on Mon Jul-28-08 09:20 PM by charles t





Fox "News", the channel that has treated America to numerous month long frenzies of 24/7 non-stop coverage of the latest murder or sex crime, has had a conversion.

From now on, nothing but straight news.

So what if books by its 2 top pundits are in the meager possessions of the Tennessee church murderer!!!!

Sensationalistic, irrelevant information about motivation is not the province of a "fair & balanced", and newly reformed, non-sensational "news" organization like Fox. :sarcasm:







_____________________________________________________________

Addendum:

Here's Fox "News" homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/index.html
Nope, nothing in the headlines.


But here's a story from further down the page
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,392081,00.html
They report that the Knoxville paper interviewed a neighbor that said the shooter didn't like Christians.
But hours after the Knoxville News (below) reported on what was found inside his house, what books he was reading, and the reasons he gave for his murders in his 4 page manifesto, not a word from Fox.

I guess the Knoxville News is just too sensationalistic!!! :sarcasm:




.....Adkisson targeted the church, Still wrote in the document obtained by WBIR-TV, Channel 10, "because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets."

Adkisson told Still that "he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office."

Adkisson told officers he left the house unlocked for them because "he expected to be killed during the assault."

Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.......
