Fox News gets racist tag

South Africa News.Net
Wednesday 23rd July, 2008

The Fox News Channel in New York was surrounded by demonstrators on Wednesday.

They were protesting a so-called racist campaign coverage, which referred to Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama as a terrorist.

The crowd of some 150 people took a petition with more than 600,000 signatures to object to the network’s news coverage, which they described as racist.

The protesters were objecting to Fox coverage in which an on-screen graphic called Michelle Obama 'Obama's baby mama' and a newsman who confused Obama with Osama bin Laden, then joked they should both be assassinated.

A spokeswoman for Fox said the company believed in all protesters exercising their right to free speech.

Fox

Fox News is the only network that tells the truth. If you can’t face the truth watch some other channel.

Fox News gets racist tag

OK! Apple Pie? Democracy? and a host of other everybody loves!

And what about the dirty laundry in the fox panties? That’s what the Protesters are challenging! Lets hear your bouncing ball answer on that point!

Ignorance Is Bliss

Our choices: An older man who 40 yrs ago spent 6+ yrs in a prison camp being treated like he was sub-human (hopefully he won’t have any flashbacks at the wrong time) OR A man who was the child of muslims and who was a muslim himself into his twenties, named after two of the most despised people in the world(one still living), who is married to a woman who makes Hillary look like a revered queen. Since I doubt we’ll nuke ourselves to save us in the torture of a slow and painful death, I think I’ll start practicing bending over while rehearsing the phrase “thank your sir, may I have another!". This could easily be the beginning of the end.

We have our own oil

Instead of retracting it on our own land, let’s buy it from people who want to kill us and supply them with the funds to assault us in order to maintain evil in the world? I May have answered my own question, (without chaos the govt is useless).

Looks and sounds like a bouncing ball post(8:57am)

The US Government fined a Broadcaster for showing a portion of a breast and a nipple at the Super Bowl hafftime show. I don’t recall the amount, but it was substantial.

Contrast that to the bouncing ball post, that merely says change the channel if you don’t like racist hatred and bigoted Broadcasting!

Does the 8:57am poster have an immage!?

FOX News is REAL and professional, other TV channels like NBC, ABC, ... those (national TV and local TV) anchors and reporters who are flattering that Negro Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama’s daily campaign news only will devaluate his/her own respect work on journalism. What is right, what is wrong, what is unintentioal news, what is the Obama’s titular politics; to report too exaggerate Obama’s baloney news to attract TV news viewers, the anchors only make himself and herself as silly as a jackass on TV screen and losing daily fans to a familiar faced daily anchors and reporters.

Fox news reminds me of the USSR state run
news network in the 70s and 80s. We should name it Pravda.

Nothing has changed

Fox news has been the same since it started; Fairly Biased!. I don’t even see how this can be called a news organization. ALL of their reporting is sooooo slanted to the right and their supporters still blindly follow everything these hacks spew out of their filthy mouths as gospel. Xdockman, this FOx BS is no where near the truth, but I’m sure a race-baiter like you thinks it is just fine!
