Fixed News Apologizes for the Third Time in Two Weeks for Smearing the Obama's
Fox Entertainment Noise, a Republican propaganda outlet that exists to lyingly smear the Democratic Party and Democrats, and which bills itself, laughably, as a news organization but one that doesn't fact check ever, has had to apologize to the Obama's for the third time.
As reported by The Guardian: "Rupert Murdoch's Fox News television station has been forced to apologise to Barack Obama for the third time in a fortnight after screening a racially tinged caption referring to his wife Michelle as his "baby mama".
"Bill Shine, senior vice president of programming at Fox, said in a statement on Thursday that a producer "exercised poor judgment" during the segment.
"The statement came as Obama established a website to help counter what he referred to as smears and rumours.
"The apology comes just over a week after one of Fox's anchormen expressed regret for a comment on the night that Obama won the Democratic nomination. Obama, in a show of affection, lightly touched his fist against Michelle's and the anchorwoman referred to it as a "terrorist fist jab". Previously, a Fox contributor Liz Trotta had to apologise after making a joke about Obama being assassinated."
Right wing Republican Fixed News depends for its viewers on a limited intelligence challenged audience, like Dick Cheney, and those unsung heroes assigned to do opposition research.
Fox Entertainment personalities like Bill O'Reilly, Steve Doocy, et al. also known as Republican propaganda shills, give new meaning to the term, "news," as it is practiced on the Fixed Noise network.
And Fixed Noise is providing the pool feed for the Democratic convention. Given what Fox has been doing to the Obama's, it might be prudent for the DNC to revisit the issue of whether Fox is capable of providing neutral coverage. A picture is worth a thousand words and Fox could really do a lot of damage with deliberately denigrating or biased shots.
It's time for the DNC to dump Fox as the pool feed for the convention or are the Democrats going to turn into Wussacrats on this, also?
