Well this is sad. Overnight a man was seen climbing the Christmas tree in NYC outside the Fox News building and shortly after it was on fire. A man was caught running from the scene and was arrested under suspicion of arson.

The question is what were his motives? Does he hate Christmas or Fox news? Is he a brainwashed loon suffering from TDS that equates Fox news with Trump? Is he with antifa?



What a shame that some jerk can use his misguided anger to do such a thing. I wonder if we will ever know his identity and motive?

People have really lost it over politics.

I do blame the MSM for putting a political label on every single thing that happens in the US.
Life does not have to be politicized and then used to pit people against each other.

How about he is an A**hole, or do you feel their must be some "anti-Trump"or conspiracy reason that poor Fox would be attacked? Sounds like he's living rent free in your head not everyone else's.

The correct answer is likely "All of the above." Probably some nitwit with TDS who should have been in a mental institution like the guy who ran over innocent people in a Christmas parade with his SUV. We need to bring back mental institutions and FUND the police. Our country is going to hell in a handbasket under the direction (or MISDIRECTION) of our Democrat leaders.

Ah, yes, the Fox News apologists: They see a wild-eyed Trump hater behind every Christmas tree.

Tell that to the OP. Why not blame the OP for putting a political label on this story? Or do you believe everything "MSM" tells you?

Such a sad story. It was a beautiful tree. Who does such a thing? A 49 year old man with a can of accelerant who just happens to hate Christmas? Or Fox News?

Either way it’s a travesty. NYC is a dumpster fire.

Well I put a political label on it because the Democrats have made everything about politics and given that Fox news is a target.



I just heard on the news that the suspected arsonist was a homeless person but why out of all the Christmas trees all over the city did he choose the one in front of Fox News?



Maybe the guy is deranged, maybe he just wanted to light a tree on fire, maybe he is mad at Christmas but given the division in this country that the Democrats have forced on us from politics to race would it be a big surprise that this tree was targeted by this guy?

Seems like a hate crime, an attack on the Christian holiday tradition.

He prob listens to CNN and MSNBC who spread hate about FNC as an organization filled with evil right-wingers.

it'll be interesting to see if one of our noted C-D far-leftists takes a sudden sabbatical from posting...
