    Yes. Not ONE single person on Fox justified the violence at the Capitol. However, CNN's Chris Cuomo justified the violence in the summer.

    Right. **** Chris Cuomo. Meanwhile Fox News blamed ANTIFA for the violence. If you can’t defend it, best blame the other side.

    Can you support your claim that Fox blamed antifa?

    “Keep in mind we don’t know who all were the instigators in this, of these, horrible things that happened today. I think a lot of it is the Antifa folks,” she added, citing "pictures" she had seen.


    The commentary from Ms Palin came amid chaotic scenes of pro-Trump rioters who stormed the Capitol building attempting to overturn the election on Wednesday.

    No, I don't see that as an insurrection, it was a riot. What we are seeing is the inevitable anger our politicians have exploited and nurtured for 4 years. If the people with power don't start listening it may well be an insurrection and it will last more than 4 or 5 hours. These are scary times. It reminds me of the Soviet Union in the stages leading up to the fall, controlled by a bunch of old despots that never learned to listen and respond to the people whose lives they were dominating. DC getting ready to celebrate a new leader looks like England in the days just before D Day, 20,000 troops preparing for the people to greet beloved Uncle Joe.

    This is a mostly peaceful uprising, to coin a phrase, and we can hope the Guard can keep it that way.

    Are they not responsible for the words of the people they bring on? I think they are.

    like that is at all equivalent. Oh and btw, how many business were ransacked over how many months in how many cities"? Or is just your impression of reality?

    Well they are different. One was an assault on the government for one day, and one was an assault on innocent communities for months on end. Both were very bad. However, one caused more damage to property and caused more death. It really is THAT simple!

    Why is the exact number relevant exactly?

    So if they incite violence live on air, the network should be held responsible?

    What happened INSIDE the Capitol Building wasn't mostly peaceful was it?

    I think that you mean equating the ransacking of BUSINESS OWNERS FOR MONTHS with attacking the Capitol. :roflol:

    It was as peaceful as what happened inside all those Target stores and liquor stores.

    I just LOVE how you are totally oblivious to how "those dead from their own rioting traitorous actions" and dead "cop" can just as easily be referring to the BLM riots where MANY people died including at least one cop! Too much CNN for you! :roflol:

    The fact is, it's WAY worse if it's an employee of the network saying something bad. Again, not ONE single person on Fox justified the violence at the Capitol. However, CNN's Chris Cuomo justified the violence in the summer. By the way, how was Palin justifying the violence by blaming antifa? Was she saying that the violence was okay because it was antifa? You're gonna need to do better than that, even if all you have is a guest on Fox. Any guests who justified the violence? I won't hold my breath.

    I think it's only an insurrection if the Speaker says it is. I don't believe she ever drifted from the "peaceful demonstrations" label for those widespread discussions that were being held while people shopped for bargain appliances and clothing. That's my smart ass answer and now that it's out of the way, I would consider what happened for months to have been closer to insurrection because it was so widespread and continuous. The Capitol riot was over in 5 hours? When the President told then to go home they did. There was really nothing for them to gain by staying because all the TV's were gone and the shoes were picked over and nothing of any social value left on the shelves. I think Nancy's Niece's husband wore his prize to the Biden party yesterday.

    Sorry, I can't seem to be able to help myself.

    Happy first day of Utopia.

    Yeah, there's no question that the left has a major double standard here. They said that BLM protests were "mostly peaceful", totally downplaying the riots, but the Capitol protests were NOT mostly peaceful, and they did NOT downplay the riots.

    I'm sorry, but in order to be logically consistent, then the Capitol riots also have to be insurrection. You can make the case that it was WORSE if you want, but surely you have to call it insurrection if the BLM riots were insurrection.

    I don't recall BLM ransacked the capitol. That's what the fascist right wing did, after they received their message of what to do by Donald and co.


    It starts to rather pathetic and so 2020 to still keep on spreading fake news

    Unarmed woman is shot by Police in Capitol. The People Who Scream ‘Police Brutality’ Don’t Care.

    She picked the time, the place and the action to get herself shot. With a violent mob at her back she was forcing her way thru the busted glass of a door. On the other side of that door were officers sworn to defend with their very lives the safety of legislators behind them. She went through that busted window even with those officers pointing guns and warning her not to.

    How is it a surprise that the first violent, anti-American insurrectionist coming through the door got herself shot? What should those officers have done differently? Continued shouting at her to get back? Written her a citation for rude and discourteous insurrectionist behavior?

    I don't like that she got shot either but it was her fault, she made it happen.

    Well, her and Donald Trump that is.

    Fox News was on damage control. They don’t need to justify the violence. They much prefer, like most Cons, being on the attack. Why defend your base when you can just claim those who did violence are actually a part of your opposition? Two birds with one stone.

    News shows don’t bring guests on without knowing what they plan to talk about. They brought Palin on knowing what messaging they were boosting. I’d wager there was more from other Fox News regulars, but I’m not willing to watch their broadcasts to confirm.
