When people find out I'm a nurse these days, they keep thanking me for my service, like they do to the military. I want to roll my eyes at this point. Is this happening to you?

Right, because Fox is such a reliable and unbiased source.

I mean, the Bay Area (especially Oakland and Richmond) is pretty much a KKK stronghold, so the idea of white nationalists there solely being responsible for violence is much more plausible than a Fox News affiliate telling the truth.
 

You got a point there.
