A Moderate Perspective

Quoting the Reuters article:

GAZA (Reuters) – Palestinian gunmen kidnapped two foreign journalists working for the Fox News television channel in Gaza on Monday, a witness said.

The witness, a Palestinian who worked with the two journalists, said one of them, a producer, was an American, and the other, whose nationality he did not know, was a cameraman.

The Fox News bureau in Jerusalem said it was checking the report.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the abduction.

Say what you will about Fox News, but I hope the journalists end up safe.

Many on the left hate the Fox News Channel with a passion, and always have rather nasty things to say whenever something bad happens to the network or one of its employees.  Such an example of these comments can be found on this thread over at The Huffington Post.  Below are some of the typical, and sometimes vulgar, thoughts you can expect:

Please tell me it’s O’Reilly, Hannity, Doocy, Kilmeade…oh wait, that’s more than two.

The list goes on.  To be fair, however, there are a few people who distance themselves from the hate speech:

I REALLY want to say something very nasty here, but it wouldn’t be the right thing to do.

Yeah, those are the only two comments I could find.  The rest of the thread just descends into a flame war after page 3.
