Like Kryptonite To Stupid
The weasel words you would expect from the GOP’s cable network.
“A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment,” Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine said in a statement to Politico.
I mean, it ain’t like this is a pattern.
Fox News refers to Michelle Obama as Senator Obama’s “Baby Mama”.
So here’s the thing (because during this campaign I’m apparently learning that we black people have our own secret code and hand signals so this stuff has to be explained like you are speaking to a child at times), using the phrase “baby mama” to describe this woman implies that like too many people in the black community, she is a mother on her own with no man around doing his job.
Except, Barack and Michelle Obama are the exact opposite of this, and that is one of the reason America - especially black America - are so proud of them.
But Fox News is the network that tears down those who do not toe the line, and if that means they should resort to jive to describe a black woman as a “baby mama” despite the strength of her family and her own personal success, so be it.
Screw you guys.
Not really an apology, but this kind of thing did not happen four years ago.
Terrorists. Everywhere.
Dan Abrams treats Bill O’Reilly’s insane rant from last night perfectly on tonight’s edition of Verdict.
On Fox News tonight substituting for Bill O’Reilly, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham made a point in a discussion of immigration to note that someone can be “American OR Latino”. Because surely nobody could be both, right?
Sometimes the mask slips and cons say what they truly believe. We must cherish those moments.
Even better is the big Christian gold cross she wears around her neck.
According to Bill, “we didn’t invade Iraq”. Really. REALLY.
It’s all about them, not all of us. Here’s Terry McAuliffe cutting a promo for Fox News Channel.
