It’s not bad enough that half of Southern California is ablaze, but along come the gas-can-wielding gas-bags at Fox News to pour fuel on the conflagration with utterly baseless speculation that al Qaeda might be behind the fires.
As if the fire victims — and the rest of the country — don’t have enough to worry about.
From The Raw Story:
(Anchor Alisyn) Camerota said Fox’s fear-mongering was “based on some information the FBI sent to local law enforcement in California and other Western states … that there was a plot afoot to set three or four different” fires. Left unsaid by the Fox news-reader was that the FBI warning was sent more than four years ago, described a potential plot that made no mention of California, could not be proven accurate and did not raise alarms from forrest-fire officials at the time. (Such caveats all were included in an Associated Press report on the warning at the time.)
I know, I know, I know … I shouldn’t expect any better from those nitwits.
