The El Paso shooter’s alleged manifesto is built around the “great replacement” theory — the white supremacist conspiracy theory that immigrants are being brought into the United States to replace white people. That should sound familiar: It’s a regular part of Fox News prime time. It is specifically one of the things that Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson have been criticized for pushing.

I spent a lot of time watching Fox News’ Saturday coverage of the El Paso shooting, and it was striking how the coverage bent toward propaganda. There were numerous interviews with survivors and witnesses that could have been done by any news outlet. But in between those interviews, Fox went out of its way to avoid any conversations about easy access to guns and the rash of far-right white nationalist shooters.

The network repeatedly speculated about a link between video games and the El Paso shooting.
