Robert F. Kennedy Jr: Fox News Has Divided America In a Way Not Seen Since the Civil War By Noel Sheppard Created 12/08/2012 - 11:13am

Robert F. Kennedy Jr said of Fox News Friday, "It's divided our country in a way that we haven't been divided probably since the Civil War."

This occurred during an online video interview with the Huffington Post (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR: There’s two things happening. One is the influence of big money in politics, and the other is the right-wing control of the American media, particularly starting with Fox News. 95 percent of talk radio in our country is right-wing, and you need, according to Pew survey, and you, so a whole section of our country that that’s what they’re hearing. They wake up in the morning, when they go to bed at night.

Twenty-two percent of Americans say their primary news source is Fox News. I think that that has, that has, it's divided our country in a way that we haven't been divided probably since the Civil War, and that it’s empowered these large corporations to get certain kinds of politicians and ideologues who are in the United States Congress elected - the Tea Party ideologues who control the Republican Party.

This is pretty hysterical considering President Obama met with representatives from MSNBC Tuesday to discuss tax policy.

It seems a metaphysical certitude Kennedy doesn't see anything wrong with that.

The offshoots of Joe Kennedy are a dumb crew, for sure. That evil thread has warped their minds. The branches of evilness can’t be better than the tree it feeds off of.

Hey Junior, as least Fox News has never turned anyone into an alcoholic, caused anyone to hang themselves in their barn, or left a young woman in a submerged car to die of asphyxiation.

It’s like a bully that picks fight and when the victim fights back the bully claims the victim started it. Liberals are bullies, so punch them in the nose at every chance.

One news channel that is not part of the Ministry of Praise and Propaganda, and these loons can’t stop whining. It is not enough that they have 99% of the TV media brainwashing with their talking points.

Dead woman at the hands of his uncle, cousin and himself. What are the odds of that? And let’s not forget MMonroe!

Wot a moron!

He got all the bad genes in the family.
He wins the prize over his uncle Teddy for being the stupidest!

No mention of how the extreme Leftist mainstream media has divided us?

I guess that's what you can expect from a representative of the party of slavery and who fought against Civil Rights in the 1960’s:

Odd non sequiturs about the Civil War form a dufus that doesn't even have an arthritic grasp of history or reality.

Another liberal with a rotted out brain...
He is a classic example of the results of the disease of liberalism. Sickos.
Hey, JR, take a peek at the resident in the WH and his words and actions. Then, lets discuss who’s inciting dissent here.

One definition of insanity is having Kennedy as your last name.

I've got four cousins of the name Kennedy, and three of them are certifiable.
