The 'outrage' presented here by the Fox talking head is utterly phony and if a right wing figure made the same quote, they would be *defending* it. This was terribly transparent on their part, but they don't really broadcast news for people with critical thinking skills who are not already wildly right wing.Alan Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349389379428110815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003611193107161873.post-36318717921283079262008-11-06T14:46:00.000-08:002008-11-06T14:46:00.000-08:00While I concede the point with you that Fox news i...While I concede the point with you that Fox news is certainly no champion of civil rights or racial harmony, I was happy that they chose to air Nader's quite dispicable comments on their show. They gave Nader the chance to recant that terrible phrase "Uncle Tom" which is deplorable at best and racist at worst and he adamently refused. I agree with the commentators' outrage. I was not very proud of that Nader moment either. Anyone who has an ounce of intelligence, knows that Fox news is a completely biased, conservatively bent broadcasting network--they don't even try to hide it. Just like Nader has been reduced to marginalization, so too is Fox news at this time. We are at a time (hopefully) in our history when we are trying to bridge divides, not polarize them and hopefully start to heal our nation. Fox news seems to represent the obsolete fringes of society, so why can't they do a little good as they wave the white flag on their way down?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
