Fox News host Greg Gutfeld erupted with dark rhetoric during Thursday’s broadcast of “The Five,” appearing to advocate for a new American civil war because “elections don’t work” and the nation is in “peril and chaos," the Daily Beast reports.

    Sounds like stochastic terrorism.

    Someone should really put a stop to fox news, by the way. It’s a little weird that there’s like a mass shooting every day but no one has like gunned down Fox news hosts in the parking lot or anything.

      Honestly we should unite and perform a coordinated attack on fox news, the same way that anonymous took over russian news stations, russian sites, and even hacked russian GPS.

      This isn’t just a case of freedom of speech, this is mobilising, terrorising and seditious speaking. The US government themselves know best just how powerful this propaganda is, as they’ve used it themselves against many governments. They’re doing the exact same thing at fox news.

      Look into the Jakarta method, a book written about how the US government destabilised and dissected government’s that they viewed as hostile and communist.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jakarta_Method

      We have known for a long time that fox news creates soviet style propaganda, but now, with Russia being hostile and China semi-hostile, surely they’re trying to destabilise at best, start a civil war at worst. Why doesn’t the USA do anything to stop this clear and obvious cooperation with the enemy?

      Freedom of speech is not freedom to incide sedition. It doesn’t protect people from convincing traitor’s to pick up their weapons. Fox news should never have won that lawsuit where they claimed “no rational person would believe it” because that’s irrelevant. A good portion of Americans (30%+) are irrational. So why discount them? It’s like saying “only a criminal would shoot someone if we paid them to do it, therefore when we pay them to do it, it’s not our fault”. Well yeah, only a criminal would do it, but you still paid them!

      The mass shooters come from the pool of Fox News viewers. Dollars to donuts, if Fox News tried a segment tasked with deprogramming the hell spawn they created, the crazies would target the host in a heartbeat.
