Still the biggest issue I have with FOX is that they show no care for the troops or our veterans. If they cared at all, they would take the lead and report on what has been happening since they were deployed into Afghanistan and Iraq. They would take the lead on finding programs and support for PTSD and TBI research, suicide prevention and holding the military leadership accountable for the rise in suicides and attempted suicides. There is so much they can do because of the viewers they have but they refuse to. I refuse to watch FOX.

What has Glenn Beck's response been to the revelation that his false and paranoid attacks on the Tides Foundation inspired viewer Byron Williams to target Tides employees for death?
Doubling down.
Beck dedicated his Friday night Fox News show to yet another extended attack on the Tides Foundation, accusing the progressive institution of subverting churches, turning children against their parents and spreading "anti-human" theories.
A week ago we told you the story of Williams, who was incited by the conspiracy theories of right-wing media figures to try and assassinate employees of the progressive Tides Foundation and the ACLU. The same lies and smears that Williams said "blew my mind" go on every day at Fox.
Instead of recognizing the danger and taking appropriate action, Fox News is allowing and encouraging Beck's violent rhetoric, abdicating the responsibility the public expects of a powerful broadcaster. That is why targeting Glenn Beck's advertisers is no longer enough -- we need to hold the entire network accountable.
