12:29 P.M. PST- FOX ANCHOR SAYS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IS AT WAR WITH THE POLICE.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It was Chris Wallace.


What incendiary and irresponsible commentary....


They might as well deliver the news in sheets and hoods!!!


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[malaise]

1. Poor Chris doesn't know that America has been at war with its African-American citizens

for centuries. Remember they declared that we weren't even human - to cover up their crimes against humanity - slavery.

[philosslayer]

10. So you're saying his statement is correct?

[malaise]

13. On the contrary

Fugg him

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. They are not remotely comparable.

1) That is not the official position of BLM.

2) News anchors should be held to higher standards.

[NobodyHere]

12. Yet it is tolerated and encouraged by the community

[malaise]

14. Not

FFS

[Kingofalldems]

15. Says you. Any hard evidence?

[rbrnmw]

17. No it definitely is not

Not in any way shape or form

[uponit7771]

19. Again, link and quote? Or is this more racist bullshit? tia

[eleny]

25. I've never gotten that impression

Perhaps you posted that in haste?

[cyndensco]

36. Do you know anyone "in the community?"

EVERYONE I know and love is "in the community" and not one of us encourages it.

[RKP5637]

26. They should be, but sadly news anchors are held to the standards of getting the most ratings and

$$$$$$'s for M$M. I know, of course, we have the first amendment, but I really think highly public new sources, such as news anchors, should be held to higher standards.

[uponit7771]

18. Link and quote BLM activist doing such vs a small amount of assholes on video? tia

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. "Changing" is not "Shooting".

but, yeah, it doesn't help BLM's image, such as it is.

[MattP]

33. A few people are not everybody

[Rex]

3. We need some kind of revamped Fairness Doctrine for cable news stations.

They are inciting violence and that SHOULD be illegal imo.

[RKP5637]

28. Exactly!!! I believe Canada has something like this, being held to higher standards. They are

inciting violence, but then everyone throws up the first amendment. How far do we allow irresponsible free speech by highly public and far reaching cable news stations. IMO, Fox News, for example, is directly responsible for much of the hatred, violence and hostilities in the US.

[tritsofme]

44. Who do you suppose should serve as our Chief Censor?

Perhaps it would be Rush Limbaugh in a Republican administration...

[Rex]

46. I'm sure the FCC would do fine.

Why would you want a GOP administration to control the airwaves? Weird reply.

[JaneyVee]

5. Police have never not been at war with the Af-American community.

Af-Americans have been harassed by police since the founding.

[chillfactor]

6. another FAUX asshat....

promoting violence......I used to have great respect for Chris Wallace.....those days of respect have been buried in FAUX NEWS shit.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. He used to be the one of two voices of reason there

Now there is only Shep.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Only FReaks think that

To: ek_hornbeck

Serious question: Now that we’re in a full-fledged race war, how should white communities respond? How do they protect themselves? I don’t have the answers.

[ronnie624]

24. As if it isn't obvious how the racist cretin wants to "respond". n/t

[randr]

9. And the African American community has no reason to think the police are at

war with them?
A 2nd Amendment solution scenario is playing out. Where are the NRA cheerleaders?

[Warpy]

11. I hope his dad haunts him

This is a no talent hack who rode his daddy's coattails in to a gig at a propaganda station masquerading as news.

He should never have a good night's sleep.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. well, that's helpful.

...

[uponit7771]

20. WHAT A FUCKIN ASSHOLE!!!

[L. Coyote]

21. When the 2nd Amendment nuts say they need guns to protect themselves from government, well

guess who the government is, the police.

[uponit7771]

29. +1

[gratuitous]

22. Well it's not like they have any favorable political news to report

Their hero Donald Trump is a global embarrassment, so, you know . . .

[drthais]

27. ok everybody...

I am actually HERE....one of the first things this morning was an interview on LOCAL tv with a contractor who had arrived in a truck full of guys to a job site on the property involved. He talked about the two groups of guys who were shooting at each other - and one of them was dead in the parking lot....and this was BEFORE the cops came.
Yes, there is tension between the black community and police - here as it is everywhere. But I have no reason to believe this was an ambush.
National tv stations were talking ALL DAY as if this was just an attack on the police. It did not start that way. There are several witnesses who corroborate this.

[uponit7771]

38. Hmmmm, looks like an overhype... no menifesto etc

[Initech]

30. Is Chris Matthews turning into Alex Jones now?

Because Infowars is frothing at the mouth over the idea of a race war. The last thing we need is a race war,

[raven mad]

31. The best teacher I've ever had, in any educational institution -

always said "Consider the source."

[still_one]

32. That is outrageous. I am so sick and tired of how much garbage that network gets away with. It is

a racist, sexist, and bigoted station, and Mike Wallace would be rolling in his grave that his off-spring is spewing that bullshit.

Other networks won't criticize this garbage, they are all into this crap, it is just a matter of degree.

[apcalc]

34. Irresponsible.

[retrowire]

35. if thats not inciting a race war then i dont know what is.

What the fuck

[barbtries]

37. WOW.

talk about your broad brush. i do not and will not watch fox news but am curious as to whether he walked back that comment or expanded upon it.

[rurallib]

40. Glad you brought up the broad brush aspect of this

I can think of no group within this country, no matter what the common traits are, that act as a monolith.

But Fox and its ilk sure do want to paint all people of color as acting as one in many instances. They are thugs etc. etc. It is almost as if Fox wants some kind of domestic insurrection (or to justify one by neo-nazis) for ratings.

Man they make me mad.

[jtuck004]

39. *snort* White folks been shooting at cops for a lot longer, but when

black folk do it it's a "war". lol.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/gunman-large-after-cop-car-fired-near-boston-n420521?cid=sm_tw&hootPostID=af09797fae7bc28e6dee3d0287b2a4f4

Look up the book "The Onion Field".

[AgadorSparticus]

45. Yep. This needs to be repeated over and over. People forget these things.

Reminds me of those pictures from post Katrina and the difference in headlines between the white looter v. the black looter. It was eye opening in racism in America.

[Jopin Klobe]

41. Since the inception of the Fox cesspool ...

... it's been at war with the real America and the real American people for conquest acquisition by the oligarchs ...

[mountain grammy]

42. Completely irresponsible and incendiary. I agree!

The man's a hack.

[coco77]

43. Where are the two cops

Who killed Sterling?

[ismnotwasm]

47. What An utter asshole thing to think much less say

Horrible.

[zz-la]

48. I am surprised it took Wallace this long to utter something so stupid

I guess he just couldn't contain himself anymore.

[AgingAmerican]

49. They got it backwards

[VOX]

50. Out-fucking-rageous. But not surprised...

Faux is in full Trump mode. Note that much of their recent "reporting" is just solidly in the tank for Trump, with emphasis on the racist/xenophobic bits of business.

[StrayKat]

51. They're in the business of making things up.

They sometimes even acknowledge it like today when Wallace also admitted in an interview with Paul Manafort that FOX is in the business of making stuff up.

?t=9m46s

@9:46

Wallace: I understand that, but the point is that he's talking about this in very much issue terms while your guy Trump . . well, they're both your guys now. Trump is talking about lying Hillary, crooked Hillary. Is Trump going to be the one who really has to make that kind of case in very personal terms?

Manafort: Trump is talking about the same issues that Pence is talking about and that's what they're going to be prosecuting together. Style is different, but substance is the same. So, to assume that one is going to be different is to create something that's not there.

Wallace: That's kind of what we're in the business to do, Paul.




I don't see how what FOX employees (and their friends) do can't be considered incendiary. Their lies are very damaging.
