Congratulations to Fox News Channel’s graphics department for somehow managing to outdo your already sterling reputation for classy truth-telling by choosing to refer to Michelle Obama, the wife of the Democratic presidential candidate and an accomplished individual in her own right, as “Obama’s Baby Mama”. The hollow, dead eyes and deluded evil rantings of your talking head vampires clearly weren’t enough to sufficiently convey their hateful and bigoted message, so it’s awesome that you guys were right there to back them up with some casual racism and misogyny there at the bottom of the screen. Your utter lack of concern for your own respectability in inspiring. High five, guys.

No need for that "Baby Mama" crap. There are plenty of reasons to make Michelle Obama part of the political discussion, but there is no reason whatsoever for the "Baby Mama" graphic. It's not even funny. Any idea on which show this happened?

Talk about spin, good grief. Did you actually watch the video clip for yourself?

All the sayings at the bottom of the screen were what people were saying about michelle and the discussion was whether or not it was a good idea for the GOP to use those things that were said.

I had a feeling...

[stephanie]

Hey, it's about as good as when Pmsnbc said Fred Thompson's wife looked like a pole dancer...But hey, since it's the boy wonder, lets get all bent out of shape over it.

The bad thing about this, is they are attributing Michelle Malkin as saying this, when it was done by Fox News.

That was classless as well.

I'm not saying it wasn't, but listening to the liberals screaming about every supposed classless remark, is annoying.

And now, tricky Dicky Turbin has casted all us conservatives...into hell.

Nobody's attributing Michelle Malkin with the "baby mama" statement. You made that up.
Let's get the facts straight. Crin is wrong.
This statement was being flashed across the bottom of the screen and the only citation was attributed to "Outraged Liberals." Yeah right. :rolleyes:
This is just another blatant example of Fox New's hackneyed and biased so-called news reporting style. Watch the video for yourself if you don't believe me. It's just a regular ol' clip from a Fox News broadcast--something all of you are no doubt familiar with.

You disgusting racist slant eyed pig! How do you like the name calling? Referring to Senator Obama’s wife in your typical way is what the country expects from an ignorant racist pig like yourself. No one wants to listen to your racist rants anymore. May the nightmare that is you be gone soon.

[hjmick]

I watched the clip and could neither hear nor see any reason for the "Baby Mama" reference. I don't know if someone was trying to be cute or funny, I believe that the afternoon/while I'm at work cycle tends to be a little less serious than what we see in the evening, but whatever the reason, I don't think it was necessary. I'm not mad, I'm not outraged, I am disappointed. It will only anger Obama supporters. They will use it as proof that conservatives are bigots and if you don't vote Obama you are a bigot as well. I expect this sort of stuff from Olbermann and Matthews and the National [b]Barack Company. Though I have not watched Fox of late, despite what I perceive as a right leaning slant, I remember them as being fair. This was just plain silly.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Okay, great. I'm sure if you sift through the Internets you'll find someone accusing Malkin of this, unfortunately for you, my thread is about the blurb I posted, not about some extremist imbecile who posts comments on what amounts to a graffiti wall. Neither of the articles I posted accuse your precious (soulless succubus) Malkin of anything insidious. In fact, the second article I posted (the one leading to the video) actually states clearly that Malkin responded to their questions and even corrected herself when they asked her about this.
Not to mention, anyone who watches the video can clearly see that Malkin was unaware of the comment herself since she even stated that hurling baseless insults at Mrs. Obama would be detrimental to the conservative cause. If she'd known what was flashing beneath her talking head, she probably would've been upset at Fox for making her look foolish.

oh for christ sake. they did the same thing to Bush. over and over........

[Hagbard Celine]

Your "take" is wrong (and biased). The "baby mama" comment is an obvious ruse. Somebody at Fox thought it would be cute. They weren't "reporting" anything by posting that crap. They didn't even cite anyone in particular, they just put "outraged liberals." What a load of crap. It's so freakin' obvious and yet you're still in denial. Even with reality slapping you in the face, you're still in denial. :rolleyes:

look ive seen fox run this same crap about Bush because that's what libs were saying about him. its news. get a grip.

[stephanie]

I wonder if all Liberals have to take Valium or some other mood altering drugs?

They are always in a perpetual state of RAGE.

DU underground is calling for another boycott of Fox news, must be about the million one.

[stephanie]

If it wasn't so pathetic watching all these libs get all bent over something as stupid as this, it would be funny.

You should see how they are talking about John Mccain's wife on the liberal websites.

She's a ex junkie, a trophy wife, a rich bitch, a home wrecker, etc, etc..but they didn't say she's his babys mama.:poke:

[actsnoblemartin]

I guess you'd be equally blasé if they'd called McCain's wife a "mark-ass trick" right? Please spare me your self-righteous grand-standing man.

[darin]

If I had any idea what that meant, I might be. But the difference is, in the context of the graphic, they aren't saying she's an 'object' they're pokin' fun at something. Again, WORST CASE it's simply somebody being goofy. Best case, it's appropriate based on whatever was being said or the nature of the story (of which I'm not familiar, hence the guessing).



Please spare me your self-righteous grand-standing man.

Is that what you call it when somebody calls you out for grasping at straws, extremism, and stretching truths and facts to make a point?

Well...to humor you, how would calling her "Obama's Babies Momma" somehow SWAY opinion of her to any degree? how would that damage her? What is the expected result of the Network for "allowing" those words to be used? What gain?

It's just outrageous that they continually do things like this and the only people who call them on it are the people who already don't get their news from them. They aren't fair and balanced at all. They're an info-tainment channel, period. I think my frustration is more with their viewers than with them, but neither info-tainment nor an audience made-up of idiots is good for the country.

Fox has a conservative slant dmp. This is common knowledge. What have they ever done to make you think that they are "centrist?"

The comical conservative slant is thoroughly documented dmp. Here's an entire website dedicated solely to documenting it.

the only reason you think Fox is conservative in its slant is because its the only news network that actually admits there is another side. And when the right and the left are compared. the left looks stupid
