Cornett’s housemates also told detectives that he was “kind of obsessed” with cable news stories about undocumented immigrants entering the United States.

Gee, I wonder what network he was watching.

he was ‘pissed’ about undocumented migrants receiving welfare funds, phones and health insurance

sigh

he fantasized about flying an Apache helicopter gunship to the border and firing on undocumented migrants traveling into the United States in order ‘to deter’ other undocumented migrants from attempting to cross the border.

I have no words.

At what point do we start to hold networks accountable for reporting blatant lies nonstop to get people riled up.(I realize it becomes a slippery slope when in the wrong hands)

I was hopefully thinking with the dominion case, but it doesn't seem to have done alot.
