At least heavymetal music is no longer being blamed for it.
I knew it wasn’t the fact that weapons of mass destruction are available to the general public crazy people included
Thanks for that laugh...
ByJohnLMicek The stupidity is so bad it hurts.
Say ANYTHING and be Governor🤢🤢🤢🤮
If a mentally ill person is faced with non stop violence on practically every show on TV, there’s no surprise as to outcomes. WP should focus on big picture here.
By zombies, he means people who watch fox and also believe in a real life zombie that existed to save their souls?
Actually the root cause is guns but the NRA won't let Repubs or anyone say the truth. So let the mass shootings in America continue. Better not watch those zombie movies. Sad!
Mass shootings commited with a crossbow?
He is right. Some children and adults get attached to the evil and some get attached to the good. Called brain washing?
Takes a zombie to know a zombie!
That's not what he said. Try NOT twisting his words around
Fake News. Read the article before you post about it people. It’s a misleading title.
I confess, I watch zombie shows & movies. And there are guns in my house. They are in a safe that I don't know the combination to, so no worries if I get really riled up by walking dead.
Ha Ha...idiot
Ludicrous but what did you expect?
It requires a colossal degree of stupidity to form that thought
Look what the swamp creature movie created!
Wow! That's all? Makes sense!!lol
And what about video games?!?!
Sounds a bit stupid to me.
Post, let me remind you, your job is to objectively report news, not bash Republicans 24/7!
He’s one pissed off walking dead fan!
Derp
znation So...its all your fault? 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣😂😁😁
How does someone that nuckin’ futz get elected governor?
Huh, I have been watching WalkingDead_AMC and have seen every Zombie since the 1980s, so this totally explains why I have NEVER committed a mass shooting.
Zombies television teaches racial equality. Zombies like both white and dark meat.
So you telling me it is not trumps fault after all. Or is he behind the zombie television
Which television show is responsible for a vitriolic leader of a powerful nation, that tacitly supports racist ideologies, and has earned for himself a total lack of credibility among other world leaders?
And this guy won an election. Another notch in the bedpost of success for the GOP.
How simplistic! You don't think it's easy access to guns
they’ll just be blamin anythin now except the problem
Zombie Republicans taking NRA money are the root cause of mass shootings.
Zombies don’t kill people. People kill people (, with guns).
Somebody get this guy to a hospital ASAP
It’s no wonder people are so depressed when media spends every moment misleading the population. This is not the point of what the governor was saying.
Name one
Literally using 30+ year old talking points. Sad stuff
Interesting, because the Zombies that scare the shit out of me have an (R) right by their name and are shown on CSPAN.
So we should banned TV shows?
The Gods Must be Crazy.
Fool, but he is from KY
Um... Theres really only 1 TV zombie show, the rest are movies, do they count too?
OK, what kind of drugs is this man on? He's a governor, now that fact is scary.
How come Canadians are so resilient in the face of zombie death shows?
Idiot!!
Do the right wing know what a TV show is.. I guess not... It is fake... It not real life.. Everyone goes home at the end of the day unlike real life. How stupid is the right
I do believe the crap on tv, movie theaters,and radio have a lot to do with mass shootings. Subliminal messages are powerful. Bring God back into our country.
What the f---k?
Are you serious. Sounds like the Republicans are catching what Trump has. Total stupidity.
I’m sure he said that exactly the way Washington post headline suggests Because their headlines are NEVER intentionally misleading, and they NEVER frame a story in a dishonest way.
Another 'dingbat' in government. What is it with these people? Do they not have more important things to do with their time than to make up ridiculous theories
November 5 2019 can’t come fast enough to get this idiot out of office.
Extraordinarily stupid theory
Everything except a society saturated with too many guns - I think next they draw a link between the Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner
Zombie TV shows main causes of Americans voting republican
Nonsense.
Craziness seems to run in the GOP. The Ky governor is definitely a weird dude.
That sounds right!
It's hardly news that immigrant zombies need extreme vetting. We aren't fools, nor a bit more prejudiced than we have to be. That's why the 12-gauges are all around the house. And we don't need even more reminding about precious bodily fluids. We can hear the whistles.
It's always anything but the fact that any wack job can buy a gun. What will they blame next?
Any old stupid excuse to avoid mentioning the NRA and the gun nut community.
WTF are they putting in the Republican water cooler? !?!!? I thought Timothy Leary's source was deceased.
I thought this was a TheOnion article and am horrified it’s not.
Ahhh the greatest danger to the republic is not ISIS but the ignorance of the GOP.
Sooooo, watching Walking Dead is one of the root causes of school shooting. Yeah that’s just isn’t right in any way.
What
I’m an ordinary mama with a masters in education. I have believed for years that what we expose our society to on visual media has negatively effected generations.
Really? Zombies? Maybe it’s the uneducated and ignorance from the top?
Zombies would starve in Kentucky. Not a lot of brains around. 🤓
Wait.. I thought it was originally video games and rap music.... now zombies.. what’s next.. vampires or werewolves? The whole twilight gang? 😂
Easy access to guns & right wing media fanning flames of hate & division with constant lies are responsible for increased violence MattBevin not zombie movies. SMH
his argument is easily charactured.. but it seems within the realm of possibility a steady diet of TV crap has some influence on young minds. the entertainment industry is 99% liberal Democrat so you'll see plenty of ridicule of Bevin's assertion.
The NRA must have eaten his brain, now he is a gun rights zombie!🔫 🧟♂️
Yea, cuz, I aspire to be Michonne when I grow up.
Actually neuroscience would say there’s a connection But now this idiot has offered his own opinion the serious work on entertainment creating false emotional memory is permanently tainted
Solved!
GOP reps are so messed up with Conspiracy Theories they can't think straight anymore
What a crock. They have nothing to do with mass shootings. No more than video games. Mean demented people are the cause. The president doesn't help either.
Ignorant people like this governor is among the root causes of mass shooting for speaking out of the wrong hole!!
Somebody tell him that they have zombie programs in Australia and Canada as well... but almost no mass shootings.
I thought violent video games were the cause?
WOW! I'm glad a Republican is calling out Fox news!
Dumb as a box of rocks...
This is like quoting a Republican as an authority on a subject.
So are liberals
dianerocks52 I swear, to be a Republican ya gotta be among the shallowest, stupidest....most ignorant cluckheads we've ever seen...Id be embarassed to show what I thought on a national platform like Twitter
I remember when westerns were all over television. The Rifleman; Have Gun, Will Travel; Gunsmoke; just to name a few. But I don't recall mass school shootings happening on a regular basis.
Oh I’m glad someone figured it out. And I thought it was the incredibly easy access to firearms this entire time.
After Columbine it was videogames and death metal. This ridiculous crap has to stop.
Who says the republicans lack scientific depth?
lol
No, white men are not zombies. On up too it instead of blaming mass shootings on something else. Tht makes white men look even worse.
Is there no end to how dumb these republicans are?
How did you get elected?
WTF?! Blame the Walking Dead...that makes perfect sense! 🙄🤬
Drinking as Much as Kin Kentuckian Bourbon Mitch hic, Republican Ken Tuck Governor ignores root cause of shootings (tiny inciteful trump) to blame non existent Zombies.........Republican Delusions Continue
I thought it was zombie congressmen
He must still be pissed they killed Glen on The Walking Dead.
This is Kentucky's Govenor...Matt Bevin...how embarrassing for them. Vote Democratic Kentucky!
Is Jesse Ventura back?
LOL...what a complete and utter useless human being.
Irresponsible nonsense from the party that helps domestic terrorism thrive. ItsTheGunsStupid GunControlNow
You dont say.
Oh good. I was worried that it might have been easy access to guns.
A lot of weird movies and tv shows made bad influence is true, movie classification can solve some problem but not all.
How DARE you blame me for your problem?
Oh. My. God.
ROFLMO... oh wow. That's a new one
Stop covering nonsense like this as if it is newsworthy for a major publication. It’s not. Not even a little bit.
RichmanMartin There have been constant Nazi shows as well on cable
Uh no...zombies in Congress perhaps....
My twins are looking at colleges. 2 in KY are under consideration. I am hoping to dissuade them because of the craziness & lack of critical thinking skills that seem to come out of the state. Their education system must suck.
🤦♀️
Yes definitely
Yeah. Good luck with this guy, Kentucky.
LOL
More like the NRA.
And this is why we can't have an intelligent conversation about the causes of violence in our country.
Yeah! Hells Kitchen, Master Chef, Diners Drive In’s and Dives...those shows just want me to take a culinary jab at someone😂😂😂😂
MattJonesRadio that's our boy haha
I can see that being a factor
Dem controlled zombie shows
And video games, rap songs, and everything else that desensitizes murder without consequences... no value to human life and no pain felt
Why isn't this genius in Trumps Cabinet?
Is that a noun or an adjective?
I wouldn't be surprise if they contribute to this cause.
Another nut job
I'm not sure you can blame zombie shows, but I'm certain the bs that the networks broadcast are a factor. Making shootings and murders common place on the living room screen.
GOP stupidity knows no bounds.
eIBMOZZOMBIe NZOMBIEEIBMOZN
No, I think it’s the Zombie Republican Party & king of the walking dead, trump. GOP realDonaldTrump
Next it will be video games 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂
Walking Dead is an example of this violence.
how would he feel if they filmed walking dead in Kentucky instead of Georgia.
HAHAHAHAHAHA 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣
I’m sorry I’ve got nothing for this crazy 😜
How many bags of money has MattBevin taken from the nra?
Yes yes and video games, rap music, heavy metal music, violent TV, dodgeball... give me a freaking break.
Lawd... Anything but guns LOL
MattBevin and I thought donnie was the first prize winner for being dumb as a box of rocks. Buddy, you’re just a frog’s hair away from first place yourself.
auntlellie LOGANTOO KIDSTOO LOGANTOO KIDSTOO LOGANTOO KIDSTOO LOGANTOO KIDSTOO LOGANTOO KIDSTOO LOGANTOO KIDSTOO
If people don't believe the movies & television don't contribute then think about what babies born over 35 years ago watched as entertainment forward and maybe some of you will wake up that all they watched was murder, horror, women beaten...
Remember this is the same guy that was surprised black kids could play chess! Does anything he says after that really surprise anyone?
Please, don’t associate all Kentuckians with this guy!
Republicans like him are one of the root causes of mass shootings.
It goes further back, to the idolization of the cowboy and his six-shooter in American culture. European folk icons used swords and bows, so Europe is not obsessed with guns like the US. Asian culture reveres martial arts.
Mass Shootings & Psychiatric Drugs
Zomibie TV - like the Kardishans & Real Housewives
I disagree with him but his point was much more eloquent and in some ways made sense. This is why people don’t trust your mostly reputable reporting. Smut like this.
Lmao 😂
The real problem is the crumbling family foundation.
What would seem much more clearly the case is that Zombie Republicans are among the root causes of Trump.
Ah yes.. gun violence is not caused by guns.. it's caused by tv. (Then why is it that so many other countries that have tv.. don't have a gun problem)? More baseless and ridiculous bullshit from a NRA sponsored politician.
No it’s not...this separated nation is the cause...we have no leaders...projectsaveadopeboy
But can we just get rid of all Republicans? Maybe they’ll snap out of it.
It couldn’t have anything to do with no mental health access, unfettered access to not just guns but guns that are designed for no other purpose than to kill humans, bullying and a divisive and violence provoking president
It’s as good as any of their other theories
So dumb. Everyone knows it's heavy metal music that's the cause.
the conscious/reasoning of any kid disturbed enough to carry out a mass shooting isn’t influenced one way or the other by whether or not violent zombie shows are in pop culture/on TV.
studentsabrina
Not entirely, stop giving out the name or names of the shooters, and just say the shooters. You are taking away their glory
greg_doucette
I've seen this genre described as right-wing fantasy before.
And all this time I thought it was guns. Thanks for straightening that out for me 🙄
One of the worst states and housing two of the worst Senators in the US.
Is he perhaps the same one that claimed Hurricane Katrina was divine retribution? No? It's the same level of lunacy. How about facing the reality - that having almost unfettered accessibility to firearms is what allows most mass killers to become mass killers.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
The walking dead is my favorite show. You don’t see me wanting to go on a mass shooting spree. In fact, I don’t even own a gun. What a stupid statement. How about passing some sensible gun reform.
He said this after handling snakes, talking in tongues and baptizing a goat
The headline may seem funny, but he has a point. The graphic images kids are exposed to through TV and video games does have an effect on their mental state. May not lead to mass shootings but it’s still a concern
😂😂 oh my goodness😂😂😂😂 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂🤣 😂😂 😂 Does the GOP have meetings where they just come up with stupid nonsense to say
Gilead HandmaidsTale
G T F O H!!!!!!😶😶😶😶😶
How about guns you pathetic tool
The aging white male conservative tantrum- throwing population that kills for fun thinks a redirect to zombie shows is believable. Sounds like classic toddler fingerpointing -'the dog did it.'
Zombie lobbyists, too.
What are u saying? The rest of the civilized world has no phones, no tv, no zombies, no drugs... No dumb A$$ they have GUN CONTROL LAWS!!! Wow Kentucky.. couldn’t find someone a little sharper for your Governor huh?
Not to mention all the vampire staking, Frankenstein pitch-forking, mummy murdering, witch melting and ghost busting. The way we treat horror movie monsters is horrible. It has to end.
Is there something in the water in these states?
As an avid fan of The Walking Dead, I prefer the crossbow. Not practical in committing mass murder.
there are no words for how stupid this comment really is
As we all know, the reason that gun violence rates are so low in Japan and Australia is because they banned all violent television shows and video games.
'Zombie television shows', I thought he was referring to FoxNews.
Good god.
America is a like a train wreck I just can’t stop watching!!! Crazy part is that you vote for these fucktards? Jesus :)
And shows like RoseanneOnABC is the root cause of gop /conservative stupidity
And Kentuckians wonder why people think they are uneducated. Zombie television is far from the cause. Lets try hate,racism and all the violent video games the kids play for starters. He must be off his meds,never heard a shooter say he was afraid of the 'ZOMBIE' is why he did it.
Liberals do behave like zombies, we’ve seen the videos of mobs re chanting Dem mantras and mob violence when a Republican life force appears. 🙄
Dude just discovered Dirty John 😂😂😂
'We want brains' is not only a good idea for zombies
Zombies➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡Democrats
Lol
Funny thing is, republican governors taking NRABloodMoney are the most likely concomitant causes of mass gun violence. magashooter
Joe America...
Is he Serious? Oh my God.
Well, dude, being able to watch zombie shows makes me a lot less full of rage than when I was growing up & forced to watch The Wonder Years for what that’s worth to you.
Republicans are among the root cause of zombies. 🙄
GovMattBevin LMAO ... Shootings Are Caused By The Roots Of Racists. Haters. War Wuvers... You Know, YOUR People ... Just Another tOupsStupids
😜😜😜😜
This is dumb. Not as dumb as saying guns cause mass shootings, but still really dumb.
Really sick. Maybe it’s the flood of guns available to unstable and haters.
Sure it wasn't rock-'n'-roll music Maybe it was the mary-g-wanna
About time someone got to the bottom of this
Celebrate death? Most of these shows are about the struggle for life against any and all odds. How idiotic.
Zombies in Congress doing nothing and feeding off special interest groups are the real problem.
There going to blame Game of Thrones next.
Lol
Zombie legislators who won’t pass gun control legislation regardless of mounting massacres aren’t to blame?
c'mon matt, it's the last season... stick with it man
This maniac is also openly threatening Liberals with violence for supporting kindness to underserved populations of people like LBGTQ, or women. He's a real class act. GovMattBevin is the definition of what we should be calling the new face of the American NAZIs.
Sure, it has nothing to do with the breakdown of the family unit.
Is this a critique of Fox News?
WTF!?!!
Ah! Anything to blame but the brokenness of American society! How lacking in accountability are those that refuse to open the floor to the discussion that perhaps there is something wrong with American society and that it needs fixing?! Look to yourself before you blame others!
Interesting. I have watched all seasons of the Walking Dead and have yet to take up arms against my fellow citizens!
Other countries have Zombie television shows and don’t have mass shootings...
The governor lives in zombieland, i guess...
Kentucky. Of, course.
Look, the last few seasons of The Walking Dead have been bad, but not THAT bad.
Lord. There's always someone vying to be the next Jack Thompson.
Lmao i love zombie movies and i dont want to shoot anyone. Trump is the root cause.
GovMattBevin I never though I would be find someone as ignorant as Trump well I was wrong, their is your stupidity about mass shootings.
By god he's right! There were never any mass shootings when Charlie's Angels and Fantasy Island were popular. This man is a genius! 🙄
A zombie had to eat his brain into saying something that stupid, I never saw a zombie using a AR-15 to get their lunch
More likely they were watching Trump and GOPers speaking on CSPAN....
Parkland Evangelical Christian Mass Murderer Nikolas Cruz was Pro-Life and a supporter of NRA, 2nd Amendment and Trump/Pence. Neighbors said he was always wearing a TRUMP MAGA HAT, please explain KYGOP GovMattBevin RandPaul Fight HATE & ArkEncounter KyDems courierjournal
Pretty sure we watch these in the UK. The difference is we have no guns 🤷♀️
Idiot. Zombies aren’t real. 🤦♂️ 🤣
WTH?!!!
Blame it on the rain ☔...smh.
Blaming the mass media for issues rooted primarily in socioeconomic desperation and political policies that harm the working and middle classes? Must be a Republican.
I didn't get the memo that allows all these crazies into Washington!!
REALLY? Angry white American males filled with hatred and fed on victimization rhetoric, and too much fear and beer, are at the heart of mass shooting...in addition to mental illness.
Idiot
Hahahaha GOD SAVE AMERICA FOXSportsAsia CNBC nbstv RRD_Davao realDonaldTrump SenateGOP
What a moron. I bet this guy doesn't even know where the grocery store is.
For Christ's sake.
and all the Dungeons and Dragons players heave a collective sigh of relief
