Not all of Fox News, but definitely Hannity as numero uno, then Carlson and Ingram. A*********ns to t***h and decency. No journalism from any of them, or reliable facts, except when to spin, twist and mutilate them. Their coverage of the student walkout is solid evidence they are not reporters but just hatchet people for the Right.

Wednesday night, Fox News went gunning for the students, ridiculing their protest. Tucker Carlson dev**ed the first segment of his 8 p.m. hour to scoffing at the sincerity of the students, calling them dupes of the Democrats. He exhorted his viewers, saying, “You should be against this!,” as chyrons at the bottom of the screen read “Political Props” and “The Left Is Exploiting Children.” Carlson continues to push the idea that the Marjory Stoneman Douglas students who’ve spearheaded this newly energized gun-control movement are too young, too immature, too stupid to do their own thinking on the matter.

At 9 p.m., Sean Hannity was doing his usual thing — extrapolating absurdity from fact. Beginning with the fact of the student walkouts, he immediately jumped to the notion that, because Democratic politicians who joined the protestors had security details, all of them were “hypocrites.” If “gun-grabbing Democrats” (as he called them) use security people, Hannity thinks they are therefore “denying the same protection for American schoolchildren.” Hannity is very much in favor of armed teachers in schools, if you didn’t guess that.

Laura Ingraham followed at 10, and she also followed the Fox playbook: Ascribe the event to another protest that Fox h**es. “Don’t be fooled into thinking this was an organic outpouring of youthful rage,” Ingraham said. “This was a totally choreographed event organized by a group called Empower — it’s the youth wing of the women’s march.” She accused the students of being antieducation and of being “hysterical”: “Who needs Homer and history when you can get credit for screaming? … Students need more academic time and less hysterics.” And then she revealed the true Fox News fear: “Democrats are using these kids to whip up enthusiasm for the midterms, 2020, and beyond, and of course for v***r r**********n. It’s theater, but with real-world consequences.” There it is: v***r r**********n is bad, and protest is never sincere — it’s “theater.”

Fox also gave airtime to conservo-nerd Ben Shapiro to say that “the media … are activating these kids, and putting them out on the front lines, and putting them in photo ops, so that they can essentially use them as political human shields.” (Hey students, diagram that sentence for me: Human shields for whom? The media? Talking heads like Shapiro? And shields against what? Not explained. D+, Mr. Shapiro.)

Fox News’s primetime lineup — complete with replays of some of these segments on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends — found ways to deny students all across the country any sense of purpose, intelligence, activism, their respect for the dead and civic responsibility, stomping on young idealism. Shame on them, yet they are not familiar enough with the term to know what that means.

Sophomoric.
Those kids still don't know what their parts are for.
They are useful i***ts to the left.
Do you think those signs were made by the students?
Do you think that the coordination of events across the country was executed by students?
The Left d**gs these kids out, suggests that they cry, and points to my guns and says "see what you are doing to the Chiiildrun?".
Bullmueller. This is political pederasty. Abusing children for a political orgasm.
Criminal.

I for one never watch any major news station
whether it's CNN.Fox News or any other
all you get is opinions
The news is not reported only their biased opinions
Wouldn't it be great if we had a news station that just reported facts
no left or right opinion
just what happened ,not what it does for the left or the right
just news and news only

Maybe.
