Racism at Fox
Well, it was only a matter of time I guess, but Fox News had a graphic calling Michelle Obama, Barack's "baby' mama." This of course is black slang usually referring to unmarried woman who has kids. Its usually derogatory and I would say in this case racist. Between that and the "terrorist fist bump", its just ridiculous what's being said over there.

Are there still any conservative hold outs who still think this is a real news station? And the argument about similar liberal bias has no basis in fact.
The good news: Fox and the conservatives are losing! They wanted us to rush to war, they wanted tax cuts for rich people, they said global warming was a farce and now most people realize that the conservative position on these issues is backwards and wrong! There will be a group of holdouts who will still watch Fox New to reinforce their worldview, but most people see the racist language and associated Obama with terrorism as just plain wrong.

Fox News
I take all the news I get from all sources knowing that the provider of the news has an agenda - conservative or liberal. The terrorist fist bump is crazy - what the heck is she talking about? I did not even know there was a terrorist fist bump. I have a co-worker that does the fist bump all the time - somebody call Homeland Security. The baby mama graphic is also uncalled for. Racist or not, it is still demeaning and should not have been used.
Ironically, after I read this post by Stephen, I looked over to the banner ad on the left and there stands Neil Covuto staring at me advertising the new Fox Business channel. I could not help but let out a laugh.
