Instead of discussing the Vegas cop killers with ties to Cliven Bundy ranch and a written manifesto where one of the killers declared, "To stop this oppression, I fear, can only be accomplished with bloodshed," Fox news focused on Obama, Bowe and, of course, Benghazi. Not much was said about the violence in Vegas.
Primetime hosts Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity both ignored the shocking cop-killer story last night, while Megyn Kelly devoted four sentences to it. (By contrast, the story covered extensively during CNN and MSNBC's primetime.) Fox talkers on Monday were still far more interested in debating the prisoner swap of Bowe Bergdahl than they were examining the political ambush in Las Vegas.

And...not one word was said about the fact that the two cop killers were RW nutjobs. Which they clearly were.
The Facebook rant was just one of many clues about the shooters' radical political leanings. Jerad Miller "left behind social media postings that show his concerns over Benghazi, chemtrails, gun control laws, and the government's treatment of rancher Cliven Bundy," Raw Story reported. (One of the viral images Miller shared online carried the caption, "Jeez, it's no wonder liberalism's regarded as a mental disorder.") The shooter had talked to his neighbor about his "desire to overthrow the government and President Obama and kill police officers," according to NBC News.

But, then again, Fox can't very well report much on it. Can they?
For Fox News, the Las Vegas killing spree represents a toxic mix of guns, far-right insurrectionism, tea party implications, and the Cliven Bundy ranch standoff. For Fox News, the story about right-wing gun violence and the seeds of a bloody political revolution present all kinds of problems for the channel and its outspoken hosts, some of whom have previously championed limitless gun rights, insurrectionism, the Tea Party, and racist rancher Bundy.

Has anyone ever claimed that Hannity is unbiased?

Or if they had mid eastern names.
 
So you're (faux) upset that O'Reilly and Hannity (both hosting opinion shows) and probably two of the people on Fox you would be most diametrically opposed in most if not all areas, given your past posts on DP didn't discuss the Vegas cop killers on their show. Never mind the lie in your title stating they were right wing... do you know the meaning of the word irony?

Hannity, IMO, is a racist homophobe POS. But, that's not a surprise since Fox News panders to racist, homophobic viewers.

That thread didn't defacto associate mainstream conservatism with psychotic murderers, now did it.

Facts make the connection. Of course, you can run from those. That would be par for the course. Now. Would it not?

No one said they did. The thread simply shows that Fox is burying the story of pro-gun, RW nutcases shooting two cops. After all, the goal is to keep their viewers focused on Bowe and Benghazi....throwing a little illegal immigration fear mongering in for good measure.

Fox News has the story on their web page under "Latest News". You cited two opinion guys in your OP as an example. One might get the impression you were being intellectually dishonest in your presentation of the material, to push an agenda. Say it isn't so.

Fox hasn't buried the Las Vegas news. I've been home on vacation and have had a TV on in another room all day tuned to Fox News and have heard reports and updates hourly when the news was breaking. Try again.

Calamity, either you're misinformed, uninformed or are just making **** up.

The Millers were asked to get the **** off of Bundy's property. (ranch)

They were drummed off the property. The majority present observed they (Millers) weren't aligned with everyone else.

"RW" ??? The Millers had more in common with the OWS and radical left than the right wing. The right wing don't talk about anarchy or call cops "Nazis" or PIGS, the left has always done that.

You, and your single (inspirational?) source, seem to feel that a vast RW conspiracy exists that even exceeds Al Qaeda (after 9/11 of course). Using that same "logic" do you tie all crimes committed by blacks, whites, latinos or street gangs into a similar conspiracy of like minded (or otherwise related) perps? The tie of the Las Vegas cop killers to Cliven Bundy ignores that he basically booted these morons off of his property - while they may have been Bundy fans the feeling was definitely not mutual.

Agreed they were booted off the ranch...but OWS? Doubt it.

They were RW Extremists, living under the nazi banner and the tea party symbol.

LAS VEGAS — A husband and wife who went on a deadly shooting rampage in Las Vegas harbored anti-government beliefs and left a swastika and a "Don't tread on me" flag on the body of one of the two police officers they killed, authorities said Monday.

Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said the Millers had ideology shared by "militia and white supremacists," including the belief that law enforcement was the "oppressor."
