Fox News has come under fire for its coverage of US attorney general Merrick Garland, who appeared before a Senate committee on the issue of threats aimed at school boards. Fox News, during its coverage of the committee, told viewers that “Republicans [are] grilling attorney general Merrick Garland over targeting parents”. “Fox News this morning literally showing attorney general Merrick Garland putting parents in the target of gun sights,” wrote Mr Willis. “This channel is beyond sick and twisted.”“Welcome to the rebranding of freaks threatening to shoot people at school board meetings as ‘parents’”, addedTalking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall. Fighting has been reported at school board meetings in Florida and Missouri in recent months, while a school board in California was accused of telling an anti-vaxx parent to “f*** you”.
