I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor. Fox News Calls Michelle "Obama's Baby Mama"... FOX: Producer Used Poor Judgment - Media on The Huffington Post
This on top of that patently idiotic "terrorist fist jab" comment. Great "News".
Fox "News". Sinking to new lows in political mud-slinging... 
Anybody in the class want to tell me why the country is increasingly fed up with the Republican party and voting them out in elections that should have been a slam-dunk for Republicans?
Anybody in the class want to tell me where our "moral values" are going to when it's evidently perfectly okay for Ann Coulter to call people "fag", and Fox News denigrates a marriage with a racial slur?
No wonder people want change. |
Because of several factors.
One, just like some "Republican" pundits have said, the Republican brand is toxic. Someone said if "Republicanism" were "dog food", it wouldn't be stocked on store shelves.(paraphrased)
Two, a segment of the population would rather consume Draino, than to have a "black " president.
Some people are unwilling to give up their cushy positions, status, their "licks", or share power...and they will fight "tooth and nail", in order to preserve the status quo....
I don't want any news organization "in bed" with government. How'd that happen, because surely, the Bush administration has been in bed with the media from day one....they let him and his cronies get away with worse than murder. How'd that happen?
Hell, the Republican Party never held Bush to accountability...they gave him free rein (and reign), which led to the leaking of classified documentation for political reasons and gain, and character assassinations and indictments of "anti-Americanism" for opponents of the war. Where'd the common sense go?
Well it went the way of the dodo....it's practically non-existent.
Now, anything goes. Anything. Nothing surprises anymore..that's the depth of the lows...and what's baffling is there is no condemnation, really. No shame for unspeakable acts. It's The Twilight Zone.
