FOX News viewers think Sikh Temple spree murder "INSPIRING"

Fox News Viewers Think Sikh Temple Shooting Story is ‘Inspiring’


Over at Fox Nation, the Fox News forum where "real Americans" gather "to speak out on important and controversial issues," users have overwhelmingly found yesterday's Sikh temple shooting story to be "inspiring."

Every Fox Nation story gets labeled with one of seven adjectives — offensive, funny, cool, obnoxious, scary, inspiring, and crazy — based on the number of votes received by each.

"Inspiring" took the top spot with ease, beating out "scary" by a margin of two to one. "Crazy" was a distant third.

Unreal. Seems that the victims are disposable in the eyes of the people on the right, because they're not blonde/blued eyed girls.

been in violation for years?
The airwaves are public, in theory if not practice, and citizens deserve to have those using the public airwaves meet minimal requirements.
Pull the plug on Fox.
