The cable news network's coverage of the Uvalde massacre was "sickening," says Ryan Bort, adding: "The reaction was especially egregious on Fox News, which decided to put bloviating pundits front and center as information about what happened became public, ignore even the most basic tenets of journalism in favor of reckless speculation, and bring on a steady procession of 'experts' to offer harebrained solutions for the epidemic of people with guns killing people in schools." He adds: "Fox News has a breaking news team, but they instead opted to let entertainment-focused pundits Jesse Waters and Judge Jeanine break down what happened for viewers. They didn’t know what happened, of course, but that didn’t stop them from trying to figure it out on the air."

Thanks for the link. I believe Rolling Stone is the #1 reliable trusted news source in the nation, even ahead of CNN

It's from Rolling Stone so they'll hate Fox no matter what they say.

Rolling Stoner, what a joke! Everyone already knew US cable news was like that.

I followed the story by googling the shooter name. Same problem with speculation. Look at my post in politics.

What else would Rolling Stone ever say about Fox News? It's so predictable. They probably had it written before they even saw Watters and Pirro. Every tv and radio news outlet was speculating. It's what they all always do in these situations.
