(Fox's take right off the bat was "the left is mocking the wanton murder of this innocent man")

Contrast to recent coverage, wherein Fox has been getting exclusive first access to information, and every post is immediately SPAMMED with an army of obvious bots calling for justice for the CEO, and denouncing the left for supporting such a thing.

Just one example. It's difficult for anyone, especially those without any kind of media training, to get a sense of the social landscape that surrounds them when every issue is astroturfed to hell by bad-faith actors.

For anyone looking in, it would be easy to assume that the average, middle-america, conservative was pro healthcare-CEO. Before 1000 pounds of bullshit got added to the stew, that didn't seem to be the case.
