Singer and songwriter David Crosby has called for Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch to be "taken out and shot."
In an interview with The Daily Beast published on Tuesday, the founder of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash said, "I know that there are a lot of really stupid people in the world and that many of them are in power and that the rest are being fed a whole shitload of absolutely untrue shit. Rupert Murdoch should be taken out and shot. The people on Fox are doing great harm to the human race. What can I say? They're lying for money. So, it feels hopeless. Because they don't mind lying. Lying for money is normal to them. It's OK."
In the interview, Crosby called former President Donald Trump "an evil bastard" who has "done an enormous amount of harm" since the 2020 election and January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol.
"He ripped the scab off of the racism in this country so that people have to look at it, and maybe that's actually a bad guy causing a good thing to happen," he said. "Because it was there the whole time. There are plenty of people—not just in the South, mind you—who are racist, so it's better that it's out in the open so that we can try to deal with it, but that's a good thing he did unintentionally, while being evil."

Taking anyone out and shooting them is not going to solve anything.
David Crosby should know better.
What do you expect from that drug fried brain.
He wrote and performed some good music decades ago .... full stop since he cooked his noodle.
He sounds like the typical low information liberal
It's a figure of speech, no more no less than: "'The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.''
I assume he didnt mean it literally. But when you use people's names it raises it up a few notches.
That is true.
Except if Trump said it, then its a clear threat .... right?
Taken out and shot is a bit extreme. How about tarred and feathered and run out of town?
Or maybe a simple examination of 'the money' that flows through those halls.
It is absolutely wrong for anyone to wish harm on a figure of the right wing.
On the other hand it is quasi acceptable for a supplicant of the right wing to suggest shooting a police officer with his own gun as was demonstrated on Jan. 6th.
America walks on eggshells.
You're expecting even-handed treatment, maybe?
Nah, only the triggered do that but i have to admit. If they keep it up, it might come to go time.
The triggered will not like if that happens. Not like it at all.
Rupert deserves a ticker tape parade in his honor for his contribution to journalism.
Probably Hunter Biden on the intake side of that. He doesn't care the logo.
Whitewater!
Is that what they call crack these days?
You wouldn't know the reference.
Well, when it has nothing to do with what I posted, then for once, you are right.
Ignorance is a warm blanket...
Then this is for you
Crosby is living proof of the irreversible damage illegal drugs do to the brain.
You just do not like what he is saying!
David Crosby may be an icon to some, but he's an asshole as far as I'm concerned. Joni Mitchell was a good friend of mine - I helped her get her career started, got her her first paying gig in Ontario, and put her on the stage at the Mariposa Folk Festival where thousands first heard her artistry. Joni spent time with some well known musicians, and for a while Crosby was one of them. Around 52 years ago when they were in Toronto, Joni brought David over to my house because she wanted to play some of her recent compositions for me, and the whole time he was an unbelievable jerk - not only treated me with disrespect, but was mean and rotten to Joni as well. He couldn't wait to leave my house, and I felt the same way about him. No matter what great political things he may have to say, he will always be an asshole as far as I'm concerned.
-David Crosby, Legendary fried brain and all around asshole
Why can't an asshole say smart words?
Conversely, smart words do not preclude being an asshole.
I never said he couldn't, but he sure as hell didn't. I'm sure there are lots of assholes in the world who can say smart things. In fact, quoting a line from the movie 'Spaceballs", "I'm surrounded by assholes."
C'mon... He may be an asshole, but he's also a good musician.
I don't know why we expect a famous person to be anything other than a famous person. Good or evil, stupid or smart, knowledgeable or ignorant, ...
Why should a basketball player's opinion on health care be taken any more seriously than that of a random man on the street? For. sure, the media are wrong to even ask for those inexpert opinions... but hey! they sell!
I like his band's music better than him as a solo performer.
I agree with you on all that
I would rather he lost all of his money. He would shoot himself.
What would be the reaction if a country singer said something like that about a liberal news person
The yahoos would be demanding that the singer's record label drop him.
And all radio stations to not play his music anymore.
Yep, the double standard involved here is a clear and present danger to the stability of this country if it persists.
No doubt about it.
You mean like what country stations did to the Dixie Chicks?
That wasn't driven by country stations, that was driven by millions of listeners of the country stations so your comment is a false equivalence in all respects .....
Exactly. That was fan driven.
How? Did those "millions" each have a special button to "cancel" the Chicks?
Bullshit...
Lol .... you know how "grass roots" movements work so try to sell that shinola somewhere else .....
Why are you lathering up outrage over something that has never happened... and probably never will?
You're imagining an event and then vehemently reacting to it.
Wouldn't it be better to stick to actual, real events?
To compare
What are you comparing?
You invented an event: "What would be the reaction if a country singer said something like that about a liberal news person?"
Are you comparing that to another imaginary event?
What's the point?
How is that post "vehemently reacting"??
How is it not?
The post is a question.
Nothing vehement about it, any old way you stretch it.
Oh
