This is an internal memo obtained by Fox News put out by DHS compiling facts known so far about the case - new - shooter's mother worked for Pima board of supervisers and the suspected anti-Semitic motivation of the shooter.

The link between Loughner and American Renaissance supposedly comes from his youtube account. Except that if you look at it, nothing there relates to American Renaissance. And the claim about Gifford “Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.” is laughable. Jane Harmon, Nita Lowey, Shelley Berkley, Susan Davis, Jan Shakowsky, Allyson Schwatz, and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz all outrank her. Giffords is the lowest ranking Jewish female Democrat in the 112th Congress in the House. Senators Feinstein and Boxer both seriously outrank her. Until she was shot, Giffords was a nobody, who had just “won” re-election with under 49% of the vote. Either the report was a joke to discredit Fox News, or the people at DHS are too incompetent to check committee assignments and google people! Either way, Fox News is a joke for running this garbage without a minute of fact checking.
Imagine the scoop they could have had with some basic research. They could have shown the utter incompetence of Homeland Security in tracking perceived domestic terrorists. Instead they fall for the same leftist garbage as everyone else. To think so many people think they are a competent conservative news outlet or a balance to the mainstream. Heaven help us the American consumer, who puts up with this garbage.
Not to mention the fact that Loughner’s mother is herself Jewish (per Mother Jones) and the family attended the same Tucson synagogue as Giffords.
This incompetent employee need to be fired. FOX News also needs to apologize for running this hoax.
Fox News is just as bad as the rest of them. They could have debunked this whole blame Sarah Plain mess with on Google search. Instead they participated.
And I say that as someone who doesn’t even like Palin.
The rush to get news when there is none is what makes FOX just as guilty as all the MSM. There was no reason to run this and they deserve all the discredit they receive from this.
FOX runs BREAKING NEWS graphics now if a police officer goes to the can. It is a joke.
Quite comrade, your rocking the boat.
It’s late, S/B
Quiet comrade, your rocking the boat.
Had to vent about the coverage unbecoming of a college paper.
Not surprising it is on Gretta’s show. She is so smart yet let someone put this out on her show.
If something this sensational was put out about the Fort Hood shooting she wouldn’t have allowed it.
They interviewed one of his friends and asked him about the Mein Kampf connection.
The friend said that Loughner was just trying to shock people - rock the boat - because his mother is Jewish. He wasn’t seriously an anti-Semite.
You would think the investigators in charge of this case would know the most basic facts about the suspect before leaking wild accusations to the media.
Ailes has been hiring more and more liberal and moderate people into its news organization. Are you surprised that a plant could be a problem?
In addition to this the 24/7 channels have to run something constantly.
No big deal.
The left has run nothing but propaganda for years and no one complains.
I've got to watching only Bret Baier and occasionally, Hannity.
My primary source of news these days is FR.
Whether CNN or Fox News the MSM is not out friend. We will regret and rue the day we allow the internet to come under government control.
“And the claim about Gifford “Gabrielle Gifford is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.” is laughable.

I think the compiler goofed and meant to say first Jewish female elected to House in Arizona. Had this been the only goof, it might have been forgivable, but the entire compilation is full of errors that, as one poster put it, wouldn’t be acceptable at even a college newspaper.
Jennifer Griffin obtained the note from DHS. She is no dummy. I think the note is genuine.
LOL. FR has been my ONLY source for twelve.
Modern MSM is an entertainment business. Fox is doing the best because they have tapped into a vast unserved market up till now (conservatives), and Ailes does tend to be conservative, but dont you ever forget the MSM's driving force, ratings, ratings, and RATINGS.
I looked it up on Wikipedia, and the first Jewish Congresswoman was elected in 1925 (over 80 years before Gifford was elected) and was a Republican. It's amazing how lazy the MSM is.
