So you're saying that running a tape referring to Michelle Obama as Obama's Baby Mama isn't the least bit questionable in terms of racism?

We have differing opinions on this and I have seen enough clips to satisfy me that there are. I don't expect you to believe me nor should you. What counts is that I believe me.

Neil Cavuto said that the reason the housing market collapse is because of giving ownership of homes to "Minorities and other people".

Fox News: Racism Is Their Marketing Plan

Filed under: Art/Culture, General, Propaganda — Mark @ 10:58 am

A press conference will be held today at 2:30 outside of the offices of Fox News in New York. The purpose of the gathering is to deliver a petition with over 600,000 names to network executives calling for an end to the racist attacks against black Americans including Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. The petition is the work of Color of Change and MoveOn and asks Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to respond to the allegation that…

“Fox has developed a pattern of airing racially offensive attacks, then apologizing only after controversy erupts. Forced, half-hearted apologies do not demonstrate good faith when the larger pattern of offensive rhetoric continues.”

Examples of Fox’s intolerance abound, but for a brief recap of a few that occurred just this year:

* Obama’s Baby Mama

* Terrorist Fist Jab

* Knock Off Osama …uh… Obama … Well, Both If We could

* Lynching Party Against Michelle Obama.

.

Yeah. BS. Sure. Fox News isn't racist. :rolleyes:

But I bet they are sexist.......that's why HRC lost, because FN was so mean to the great HRC.

And we can add this:

Estimated the amount of time Obama has spent on front porches during the course of his life

Noted that Obama looks like the Fox News team's "one friend"

Whenever he is shown exiting a limousine, journalists mention that his Escalade must be in the shop

Scored footage of Obama visiting a Russian mobile launch missile dismantling facility with the theme from Shaft

Oh, and who was that !@#$%^&*] who said he was suprised we weren't cursing at each other for "More Motherfucking Ice Tea!" and was surprised we ate with utensils and walked upright, wore clothes and actually spoke the English language?

Wasn't that..............Bill O'Reilly?

Yep. Another example of their non-racism.

Was that in regards to his visit to a restaurant owned by someone black in Harlem? I vaguely remember reading something about his visiting a restaurant and being shocked.

On another note, last night I commended Palin for her stance on Darfur and I still think if she means it then it's a good thing. After reading the Los Angeles Times this morning (and a list of Biden's and Palin's truth stretching), I found out that the bill she claimed credit for introducing to the Alaskan Legislature was introduced by a Democrat and that Palin has not publicly pushed for it. In addition, some officials from the fund opposed the measure.

Yes, that was a black owned restaurant he went to, with Al Shaprton.

I guess we'll now hear that because he went to a black restaurant that proves he's not racist.

As far as the bill, everyone claims credit for bills hoping some won't do the fact checking to see if they supported it or if their name was on it.

I dont really care what you like or dont like about posting with me...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

I never said she was running for office

Good for you...It is important to me..

Who said I needed to be clarifying her professionalism? My purpose in raising questions about media bias is not to fit your definition of the manner in which I should go about doing so...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

Probably because being "friendly" is not the same as writing a book with a candidate's name in the title...Correct me if I am wrong, but has Brokaw written a book called Women in Politics and the Age of Palin? Or "Age of McCain"...No?..Didn't think so..

I dont really care to spend my time figuring out what offends you and what doesn't....I was just asking...Quit making things personal for God's sake! Is it really that hard?

I guess you can go either way on the visit but his statements still showed a lot of ignorance about black people....of the dangerous variety and he's suppposed to be a learned man and people listen to him. He's way behind the times so apparently the people who think he's great and all are either not aware of this, ignore it, or have issues with progressiveness as well.

I know the politicians lie but I guess I was hoping she was telling the whole truth on that one.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess something...You are black, Wales, aren't you?

I can tell because...Ifill's race never...and I mean never crossed my mind! If you want to improve race relations..the key is to not find every single critisism about Gwen, Michelle, or Barack as racially motivated! I am sick of everyone accusing others of being racist simply for raising questions or disagreeing!

So, Casey, as faras you're concerned, black people can't say anything independent of each other.......if one black person says something, then all black people must explain or must agree with that statement?

Interesting.

How dare you insinuate that my critisism of Ifill is because she is black! Where do you come off? How dare you!

Please let me know where I have said anything even remotely close to that!

How many people have been sentenced to death due to a jury finding them "guilty" only for the decision to be reversed due to evidence proving their innocence. Just because they were found guilty doesn't mean they were, just like people who are found not guilty doesn't mean they were.

So please don't use that "they had a trial and were found guilty" as an excuse.

    • per the description on the official GH youtube account, from the clip posted above:  the character Gio was performing "Glow", an original piece that the actor Giovanni Mazza co-wrote and released when he was only 12 years old.
    • I think what they're doing with Hayley being isolated with Bill goes back to when he wanted her to quit her job at the firm and become a “Real Housewife of Fairmont Crest.” But we've seen she hasn’t, so she should be out there mingling—maybe with Caroline—or deciding to join some league or chapter, involving Dani, Anita, or Nicole. I also wouldn’t mind seeing her in more scenes with Derek, since she’s one of the few people who can make him tolerable and less dull. Or what if she bonds with Eva? They’re both outsiders in the community and constantly made to feel like trash by the Duprees.   I’d love to have my theory finally come to light—that Leslie’s mother is actually Sharon. Maybe Leslie is bitter toward Nicole and the rest of the Duprees because she believes her mother should’ve had the kind of fame and fortune Anita has if things had gone differently, especially if her mother had the vocals—i.e. Dreamgirls, Effie. I remember Leslie saying she listened to the Articulettes growing up, and she also mentioned she lived in Chicago—where, guess what? The Articulettes are from.
    • Ranger, will you be his champion?! Tell Dante to back the he&l off? Be there for him in the coming days when he is going to be furious & possibly turn his back on the Cerullos & the Qs & show up at Sonny's door looking for a new place to park his weary head? As for me, I watched the NB every year even when I wasn't watching GH. Many years have been disappointing. So far this year is amazingly satisfying. Clothes! Performers! Drama!  So ironic that they actually have Cam doing what we always said he should be doing, emcee, tux, mic, huge toothy grin! Snark! Could they possibly throw any more shade? Nooo! This is like 100% attitude coming from all directions. You could say I died & went to heaven. Gimme all this high school talent show soapy goodness, I mean, it's only 4 days, what kind of wimp are you, anyway? As soap fans, we are supposed to enjoy these occasional flights of fancy. Maybe you aren't, but I sure as he&l am! And, I won't let any Debbie Downers ruin it for me, either. This brief early morning message was brought to you by the letter N for what else Nurses Ball.
    • I have seen little of Wally, but I always think of the backstage story Julia Barr (I think it was Julia) told where he hated his character and storylines so much that at one point he put some form of clown makeup on in his dressing room to show his feelings.
    • Happy Birthday Giovanni Mazza!!

    • She's beyond awful. She needs to be sent away. We know that's not going to happen.
    • I knew that was the Manhattan skyline in the background  That’s one of the best parts of this; their relationship can go either way. Though I’m hoping that they’ll eventually find their way back to each other 
    • I don't remember ANYTHING with Devon and Cliff! I do remember Liza fixated on him (around the time Angel Haining took over the role briefly as Marcy Walker left for Santa Barbara!), but not a thing about Devon. Shows how memorable it was. LOL! I do have a very hazy memory with Devon and...Wally, was it? I think that was his name, Devon's husband! (Mom watched AMC from jump, and wee little me got into it!) But I do remember poor Tricia Pursley just played Devon as a sad sack.
    • Since we need to see Tide placed in the show at least 4 times a week, Derek should be acknowledged as what happens when one accepts the Tide Pod Challenge.
