Fox News is beneath contempt. Having dropped all pretense of being an actual news outlet, they are to journalism what the Family Research Council is to the study of world religions.
Sadly, I wonder how long a democratic society can freely exist when so many lies are passed as fact, so many social crudities invected, without condemnation from "legitimate" journalistic sources. Americans, generally speaking, aren't all that bright. Now that we live in an age with no moorings in what passes for journalism, coupled with Amerians' atrophied capacity for critical thought.... I just don't know.
I don't know about the show, but E.D. Hill (blonde, white) was the one who floated the "terrorist fist jab" line (and was fired or something).
Malkin is the one who sounded the alarm over the Dunkin' Donuts ad with Rachael Ray's terrorist scarf (and then said "never mind"). Malkin is abominable. This is slander masquerading as a news story, but that much is obvious.
This is not the America I was brought up to believe in.
This blog seeks to highlight abuse of power, deception, corruption, and just plain bad ideas in government and corporations.

Yeah.
Isn't this the same show/ same lady who had to apologize just the other day for "terrorist fist jab?"
You know, that scenario you paint was a good part of what Roger Ailes was after when he set FoxNews up.

Malkin had nothing to do with this, she was just on the screen while the graphic played.
The Fox folks issued a sort of apology blaming a producer.
