Fox News Wonders If Louisiana Shooter Was ISIS

On Oct 28, 2022

In the wake of another mass movie theater shooting, Fox News buckled down and defended their opposition to any gun control legislation. They also looked for a way to work the tragedy into their Muslim boogeyman narrative, with Megyn Kelly asking, “Any reason to believe there might be a connection to ISIS, or radical Islam, or terror as we understand it in this country?” John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Jayar Jackson, and Michael Shure (Al Jazeera America) break it down on tonight’s Power Panel. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly responded to breaking news of a deadly shooting at a Louisiana movie theater by baselessly asking about possible connections to ISIS or radical Islam.

On the evening of July 23, a gunman opened fire in a Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater, killing three people including himself and injuring nine others. Responding to the breaking news on-air during The Kelly File, Kelly initially noted the similarities between the attack and the 2012 Aurora, CO theater shooting, which left 12 people dead. However, when interviewing Lafayette Police Sgt. Kyle Suarez about developing information on the shooting, Kelly devoted a question to the possibility of a connection to ISIS, asking, “Any reason to believe there might be a connection to ISIS, or radical Islam, or terror as we understand it in this country?””*
