The resultant outcry from concerned Americans about the easy access to weapons that are capable of such carnage was met by Fox News as an attack on the Second Amendment and free enterprise. Its response was to slaughter the First Amendment by prohibiting any discussion of gun safety on the network. Sources told Gabriel Sherman of New York Magazine that “David Clark, the executive producer in charge of Fox’s weekend coverage, gave producers instructions not to talk about gun-control policy on air.” It’s also worthwhile to note that while Fox banned all talk of gun control, it did not banish talk of other explanations for the atrocity in Connecticut. Fox had no problem with laying the blame on mental illness, movies or video games. Fox host Mike Huckabee was permitted to go on the air and blame the killings on the absence of God in the classroom (which does nothing to explain similar shootings that have taken place in churches).

I just ran back your quote and pointed out that you contradicted yourself IN MID-SENTENCE.

The proof is in the pudding. There has been ample discussion on Fox News about the issue of gun control right after the shooting. Furthermore, you posted a link from Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher; he is almost as dishonest a columnist as Paul Krugman.

When would they have time between all the lies they post? And you know that it is run by a Fox News employee, don’t you?

FYI: The Hollywood Reporter also tried to debunk this along the same lines, but failed miserably. And how could I be lying when you are quoting me saying all the things you said I lied about? You really are mentally challenged, aren’t you Scott?

Daily Caller pointed out that gun control has been discussed on several of the shows, and not just “Fox News Sunday”.

Speaking of which:

“…(Fox News Sunday)…airs on the Fox Entertainment Network, not Fox News (although it is repeated later in the day on Fox News).”

Umm…what?? If the show gets repeated on Fox News, then it gets aired on Fox News. I should know, because I watch it on Sunday afternoon. So your statement is a lie.

You really embarassed yourself on this thread.

Al Sharpton, among others provide on a regular basis, and leaving it to rot.
