I never said that. But Jessie is the one who started this storm. Not Fox. It's a strange way to react to a situation like this by immediately pointing fingers at fox news. Most of us here know fox is full of idiots. I'm pointing my fingers at Smollett for the time being.
Well, for starters, Ann Coulter is not Fox News and what does it mean "pointing finger"? People will be doing bad stuff but that doesn't mean that we should blame them for other people exploiting it and not behaving rationally. Both sides should be criticized.
Let's say when Ted Bundy was arrested Person A wrote: "All white men are evil." And then Person B said: "It is all Bundy's fault that Person A concluded this."
And then Person C looks through the window and sees some white man and calls the cops on him and Person B blames it on Bundy for "starting all of this."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
