Faux News is taking a beating the past couple of weeks. I think their greatest crimes might be unpunished - because we can't punish them for it. Faux is an accessory to murder.
The nightly stew of fearmongering about urban crime has left those who imbibe Rightist media terrified of the world outside their doors. So, when a Black kid shows up on their doorstep or an unknown car pulls into their driveway, they empty a clip against the threatening hordes. Their quaking fear of the world is stoked and manipulated by Faux, which leads to these incidents, which make the news, which make other people afraid, which accelerates the descent into more fear and more guns.
So, the solution is that it's the guns. It's always been the guns. Get rid of 75% of the guns and keep them out of lunatics' hands and that helps bleed the tension out of American society. The First Amendment is (and should be) stronger than the Second when it comes to regulating behavior.
Faux has blood on their hands, but they honestly don't give a shit.
