Thankfully, the voice of reason at Fox News, Shepard Smith, is still around who had this to say about the Holocaust Museum killing and the radical emails Fox News receives from viewers, which he says are “out there in a scary place.”

Bill O’Reilly has repeatedly criticized other networks for the amount of reporting they have done on other recent killings. Bill O’Reilly, the guy who doesn’t speak of the killing at the Holocaust Museum, other than to question whether or not it’s newsworthy…

O’REILLY: Now, this is an 89-year-old anti-Semite bigot kills an innocent guy in the Holocaust Museum. OK? Now, what about the newsworthiness of this? … Is it as newsworthy as Private Long?

A day after the shooting at the Washington DC Holocaust Museum, it appears that Fox News has made the conscious decision to limit its reporting on the incident. Apparently, they only mentioned “Holocaust” and “van Brunn” three times during Prime Time. Three. From TVeyes.com for the previous 21 hours:

As of 10 a.m., the totals looked like this:

CNN: at least 168 mentions.

MSNBC: at least 121 mentions.

Fox News: at least 89 mentions.

The question is why? Is it because Fox News is embarassed by their incorrectly critical reporting of the Homeland Security reports on right-wing extremists? Is it because the shooter is not Muslim, but rather had ties to the Klu Klux Klan?

Apparently gay penguins were more important.

Original Story

If you recall, Fox News was upset about the Department of Homeland Security report on right-wing extremists that, as it turned out, was ordered by the Bush Administration.

Fast forward to today, in the wake of George Tiller‘s murder, which was committed by a pro-life Christian activist. We’re inundated by headlines and articles about the shooting that took place at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. The alleged murderer, terrorist if you will, was James Wenneker von Brunn, an alleged white supremest who, apparently, has connections to anti-government and hate groups. In other words, another right-wing extremist.
