Fox News bows to the inevitable: shooter was a racist

Today's F&F coverage had several reporters referencing the racial aspect of the shooter's motive. But never fear: they worked Christianity in by interviewing the woman who said that "GOD told her" to call the police and report where the shooter was.

It was very good of that woman to have noticed the shooter and ensure his capture.

Next time, let's hope God will warn the would-be victims.

"Christianity" for "Racism" in their reporting yesterday. Fox had little choice but to correct their "interpretation" of the event.

Here's a clip of the broadcast I located on YouTube. The audio isn't great, but it's good enough to get the full impact of the segment.

They tried to spin the propaganda but they couldn't change the facts this time.

Still they spent an entire day trying to make it a war against what they wanted it to be.

This time it would've taken too much "stretchin', bendin', and contortin" for even them to slither away from the glaring reality of racism .

Too much testimony, too may witnesses.
