In the aftermath of the shootings in Charleston, South Carolina, Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore ripped Fox News for its coverage regarding the motivations of the shooter, Dylann Roof. The Nightly Show host played clip after clip of hosts and guests on Fox News promoting the idea that the shooting could have been a religiously motivated attack.
Wilmore cried that the coverage from Fox “just makes my f****** head explode.” The comedian objected to Fox’s handling of the tragedy because, “even with all of that evidence,” some on that network attempted to distort the issue.
