During last night’s episode of The Kelly File, the Fox News host declined to use the name of the man who opened fire on Fort Hood yesterday, Ivan Lopez, because she has “decided not to name these mass killers here as a policy.” Fine! However, later on in the broadcast, while again noting that she wouldn’t be using the shooter’s name, Kelly helpfully told her viewers that his “nationality … sounds Hispanic, Latino, but you can look up his name online if you care to know more,” just in case the news organizations covering the incident in the conventional way somehow fail to make Lopez’s role in it clear.
