Fox news is faux news
Oh, Ffs, an illegal alien set a woman on fire and burnt her alive, and you’re going to use this kind of bullshit argument?
Get out of here.
Fox is the only marginally not full-on leftist propaganda, and even they aren’t an actually conservative news outlet.
And yet, you all continually post things about how a migrant did a bad thing. I wonder why that might be…
Its blatantly obvious this is just bog-standard fear mongering. Did someone do a bad thing? Yes. It isn’t any different from any other terrible thing done by a human being. Your disingenuous faux pearl-clutching just makes you look bad
OK, but how can you just brush past the very real concern for the safety of American citizens? Fear-mongering wouldn’t work if people felt secure. The fact is that people don’t, and there ought to be some way to address that without demonizing anyone.
People don’t feel secure because they have been told not to by the right wing media. The numbers show that immigrants commit far fewer violent crimes than US citizens, with every single metric pointing towards a decline of ALL crime. We are in the most peaceful and safe time in history by most every metric, but we are also in the time with the easiest access to information, so people think things are crazy and violent because they have access to news that talks about it worldwide.
I’m the 1850s you’d hear about this awful happening across the country a week after the fact in the paper - today you can practically see it in real time. It warps our perception of how safe/unsafe we are and is used as a way to create an “other” to demonize in order to gain power. Just as the Nazis made their “other” the Jews, so too have conservatives made their “other” immigrants and trans people. The sooner people realize that, the sooner they can realize they’ve been had for years by grifters.
Fox News has been a cancer for American politics. That does not mean everything they report is false.

Are you claiming that a Guatemalan illegal alien did not set a sleeping woman on fire?
