Why Did Fox News Cease ALL Coverage Of The Las Vegas Tea Party Cop Killers?

After only one day Fox News has already eliminated coverage of the Tea Party Cop Killers in Las Vegas who went on a murderous rampage Sunday. On Monday, Fox's primetime programs (Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity) were silent on the subject except for four sentences on Kelly's show.

On Tuesday morning's edition of Fox & Friends, the curvy couch potatoes failed to mention Jerad Miller and his wife Amanda. Later, on Happening Now, Fox ignored the story entirely. Outnumbered also declined to report on the Millers, despite having guest co-host "doctor" Keith Ablow who has psychoanalyzed every criminal, politician, and other public figure this century (without ever examining, or even meeting, any of them).

If you watched Fox 24/7 and listened to nothing but talk radio you would live in a permanent state of extreme paranoia. It's a 24/7 bombardment of paranoid fascist fantasies. Muslims and Liberals marching in the streets trying to pass Sharia law, trying to take your guns, forcing abortions, giving equal rights to gays women and minorities, trying to force you to do horrible things like earn a decent wage and get health care.

Fox viewers, either cower in their homes or walk around armed to the teeth....

The TeaBillies called of their dogs for awhile. Our city is to damn tense for any of their crap. Metro is on a very nervous,and justifiable so,high alert. Would not take much to start some type of shooting spree. Lots of Vegas folks have a very negative view of Metro because of past brutality issues.
