Of course Fox news is on his side, any excuse as long as it means white people can keep their guns. I've read some of his statement: the way he so patronizing danced around calling it an outright hoax "if at all". If he wants the the media to hold itself accountable he should set an example and resign so the school doesn't have to be associated with his ignorant fear mongering.
Who said anything about white people or guns. The article is about a professor keeping his job over personal opinions posted on the internet. The way people want to bring up color or race in threads and articles completely unrelated is a sign of the person being racist themselves, so please leave race out of the discussion. Guns have only a very slight bearing on the discussion as the conspiracy theory seems to think that the hoax was to push the gun laws, but once again not what we are discussing. As for Fox, we know that Fox is slanted and retarded, I used the link because it was the first one I saw on the subject and I wanted to share the news. Even though Fox is retarded I highly doubt they are making this story up.
As for you insinuating that he be fired because he implied that he believes there is a hoax in the first place is relevant, but I think your motivations for firing someone are a little harsh. You don't go out of your way to fire people for their personal beliefs. I don't know where you work, but what if they decided to fire you for your belief that Fox news is slanted and fakes the news? That is a personal opinion, you are posting it on the internet, and many people like fox news (for whatever reason). By your standards you should be fired for having an opinion. Its okay though, because you are going to resign to make sure your employer avoids any potential fall out from Fox news lovers not using their services anymore.
