Fox News is the worst, but all 24-hour new outlets are just stoking the flames by telling their viewers things that will rile them up. Honestly giving them any platform, even here, doesn't help anything.
I think all the 24-hour news outlets are garbage, but this doesn't seem like their regular nonsense. Even the article states that this was "unusually strong" for Fox News. So, either they are turning up the volume of their rhetoric, or someone behind the scenes let slip the kind of thoughts that are behind their presentation of events but they usually try to keep hidden in public. Both of those possibilities seem worth noting as long as these types of news sources are so prominent.
