An alleged white supremacist who drove to new york and attacked a 66-year-old black man with a 26-inch knife, killing that man. much still to be learned about this story. can you see surveillance footage from the incident here. this story received almost no coverage on fox or cnn or anywhere else for that matter. another example of a crime but not a crime that fit the political agenda of those pro-trump hosts on fox. joining me now talking about those cable news coverage choices and late es wi...
