Driving home from work tonight I was entertained once again by the carrying on of a member of Hollywood and his verbal assault on Fox News. While some might find this verbal ranting funny, I find it a sign of the times.
Why is it that people pay so much attention to the liberal members of Hollywood? Why is it that members of Hollywood make a point to rant and rave at Fox News? Now, while we all have the Constitutional Right to Free Speech, we do not have the Right to encourage others to do bodily harm to others.
We can encourage people to avoid watching a media outlet if we disagree with their political views or views on society. We can voice our outrage, we can write letters or simply turn the channel if we choose. But, it makes me ill to think of an individual encouraging possible harm of death to others.
While John Cusack may be entertaining to watch in a movie, he definitely overstepped himself with his comments regarding Fox News. Personally, I feel that he should offer an apology to members of Fox News and should retract his encouragement of physical confrontation. Death is not a joke and his remarks were horrific and he should be ashamed to tweeting something so vile.
