3:36Now Playing"The propaganda on America's "Fair & Balanced" newsroom, Fox News, must be quite effective. Randall Linn, an Indiana man who pled guilty to setting a fire in a mosque, told the court that the reason for his shenanigans was that he got "riled up" as a result of watching Fox News.
When the judge asked him if was acquainted with any Muslims or Islam, he responded "No, I only know what I hear on Fox News and what I hear on radio." This sterling example of the kind of American patriotism touted on Fox Nation said that "Muslims are killing Americans and trying to blow stuff up" and "most Muslims are terrorists and don't believe in Jesus Christ." Who says that Fox viewers aren't well informed!"*
Randall Linn burned down a mosque, saying he only knows what he hears on Fox News. And he's not the only one to be "inspired" by their propaganda and lies. Cenk Uygur breaks down some crazy acts and crimes influenced by Fox "News."
