Fox Attacks: Michelle Obama


Brave New Films has put out another video, this one about Faux News' attacks on Michelle Obama, which have been frequent, hateful and slanderous. Typical of the network, it will say something way out of bounds, and then issue a tepid apology, after which it will go right back on the attack.

From a Brave New Films press release:
Not only are they [Fox News] smearing Michelle Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that they believe gives them the right to slander her again. FOX's long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas. Racism and fear mongering have no place in our country or its politics, despite what FOX would have you believe.
You can sign Brave New Films' petition to demand Fox "stop injecting racism, prejudice, and fear into our political dialogue" by clicking Here, although I think that probably encourages the hate monger decision makers who run the network.
