San Francisco officials brush off Fox: ‘You’re not a reporter. Fox News is not real news.’

[RandySF]

PERSONAL NOTE: I agree that Fox is a fraudulent news service, but I disagree with Jane Kim about immigration having nothing to do with the case. ICE should have been notified that a violent criminal with five previous deportations was about to be released.

San Francisco’s city officials have no time for Fox News’ latest attempt to gin up anti-immigrant hysteria over the alleged murder of a white American woman by an undocumented immigrant.

Bill O’Reilly sent one of his employees to ambush different members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, accusing them of enabling the murder of Kate Steinle by declaring the city a “sanctuary city” where undocumented workers can access health care, police and fire assistance and other public services without fear of deportation or other forms of government reprisal.

City Supervisor and human rights attorney Jane Kim told the Fox representative that the issue at play in Kate Steinle’s death isn’t immigration, but gun control, and how to keep weapons out of the hands of felons and the mentally ill.

Katy Tang, on the other hand, excoriated the microphone-wielding Fox employee for ambushing her and accusing her of complicity in a murder.

“Of course Fox News would be this rude,” she said, turning to walk away. When he chased her and continued to pepper her with questions about her role in the death of Kate Steinle, she said, “You’re interviewing the wrong fucking person.”

Scott Wiener didn’t even break his stride as he made his way to his office.

“Fox News is not real news,” Wiener said calmly. “And you’re not a real reporter. I talk to real news only.”

1. We need more people publicly stating that about Fox. n/t

[riversedge]

2. O'Lielly's head is exploding

[Xyzse]

3. Would this be a Wiener I can stand for?

I mean...
Good on them, even though it still needs a discussion, but I have to thank them for putting that truth out there.

4. Gun control is the main issue?

the gun was stolen from a federal agent. How do you protect the public from that? Making stealing illegal? Disarm the police?

[RandySF]

5. Kim was brought up in politics under the Sheriff's wing

She understandably wanted to defend Mirkarimi, but she should have just brushed Fox off instead.

[hack89]

10. So the gun was not stolen from a federal agent?

ok

[RandySF]

12. It was a privately owned gun.

[hack89]

13. No. It was his service weapon.

The .40-caliber handgun was stashed in a bag when it was taken in a car burglary June 27 in downtown San Francisco , according to sources familiar with the investigation.

The car and gun belonged to a U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger, visiting on government business, agency spokeswoman Dana Wilson said.

The car was the ranger’s personal vehicle and had no federal agency markings, Wilson said, but he was authorized to use it for work. The gun was his service weapon, she said.

17. Gee, I guess that gun didn't perteck the agent then

did it?

[hack89]

19. It was foolish of him to leave the gun in the car

the gun should have either been on his body or locked up in a safe.

6. Good for the SF officials. Just what Fox deserves. (nt)

[Darb]

7. What violent crimes did the guy commit before?

I thought that he had been in prison for like twelve of the last fifteen years ON IMMIGRATION CHARGES, no?

Can you cut through the Fux Snews bullshit for me?

Thanks.

[Luminous Animal]

9. None.

[RandySF]

11. a number of them were federal narcotics sentences.

However he was affiliated with Mexican gangs.

[hack89]

14. Several felony drug convictions but no violent crimes. nt

[olddots]

15. Part of the Fox plan is to devide and conquer

Notice how the fux maggots sneer when they mention certain cities or parts of America .

Fox or some other media sources only gets bigger thru turmoil and segregation .We all know what watching Fox News does to people ,why we watch it is the reason dictators gain power .

[KamaAina]

16. And Wiener is one of the more conservative supervisors

he's the one who pushed the ban on public nudity. That's right, there were headlines reading "Wiener pushes ban on public nudity".

That being said, ICE should have been aware that the guy wasn't going to be held very long on a 20-year-old pot charge in SF. They could easily have had someone waiting around to pick him up, the way they have people trolling courtrooms waiting for people on their list to show up.

[RandySF]

21. Conservative is a relative term here.

[nxylas]

18. Anything to avoid talking about the Iran deal, right?,

The RWNJs that pollute my social media feeds and the Internet forums that I frequent have been whining about this non-stop for the last few days . I haven't been paying much attention (most of the time, it's just white noise, pun intended), but I assume this is the story. I guess their tired old Neville Chamberlain analogies aren't cutting it any more, so they need a different reason to be outraged.

[Shrike47]

20. Yeah, Wiener! May more politicians follow his example!
