Officials at Fox TV said today that they are just fine with keeping a raging anti-Semitic racist as the host of their highly-rated The Masked Singer. Nick Cannon was severed by his other employer, ViacomCBS, yesterday after recent repugnant comments he made on his podcast went viral across social media.
For those who missed it, here is just a sample of what the anti-Semitic racist had to say about Jews and all other white people on earth:
When you have a person who has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin that they know they will be annihilated, therefore they know that however they got the power, they have a lack of compassion, melanin comes with compassion.
Melanin comes with soul, that we call it soul, we soul brothers and sisters, thats the melanin that connects us so the people that dont have it, are, and Im going to say this carefully, are a little less and where the term actually comes from, and Im going to bring it back around to Minister Farrakhan, where they may not have the compassion.
When they were sent to the Mountains of Caucasus, they didnt have the power of the sun. The sun started to deteriorate them. So, theyre acting out of fear, theyre acting out of low self-esteem, theyre acting out of deficiency, so therefore the only way they can act is evil.
They have to rob, steal, rape, kill and fight in order to survive. So these people who didnt have what we have, and when I say we, I speak of the melinated people, they had to be savages, they had to be barbaric because theyre in these Nordic mountains, theyre in these rough torrential environments, so theyre acting as animals, so theyre the ones closer to animals, theyre the ones that are actually the true savages.
[End]
Those are verbatim quotes, word for repugnant word. It was just all too much for the management at ViacomCBS to defend.
But not Fox, oh no. Standards are obviously much, much, MUCH lower there, at least for hosts of shows that get good ratings. As reported today by Variety, Fox officials have decided that poor Mr. Cannon has been wait for it taken out of context, as if any possible context could make the calling of every white person on earth true savages.
From the Variety piece:
When we were made aware of Nick Cannons interview with Richard Griffin on YouTube, we immediately began a dialogue with Nick, the network said in a statement. He is clear and remorseful that his words were wrong and lacked both understanding and context, and inadvertently promoted hate. This was important for us to observe. Nick has sincerely apologized, and quickly taken steps to educate himself and make amends. On that basis and given a belief that this moment calls for dialogue, we will move forward with Nick and help him advance this important conversation, broadly. Fox condemns all forms of hate directed toward any community and we will combat bigotry of any kind.
[End]
Laughable.
See that last part, the part where Fox claims it condemns all forms of hate directed toward any community? Yeah, thats a lie.
You can also rest assured that, if The Masked Singer were a dying franchise that was fading in the ratings you know, like American Idol Cannon would be out on his ear without any claim from Fox about having been taken out of context.
You can also rest assured that, if Cannon were a white man who said the exact same words he uttered about Black people, Fox would not have hesitated for a fraction of a second to can him. There would have been no reaching out, no dialogue, no hilariously ludicrous rationalizations about having been taken out of context. Hed have simply been fired, no questions asked, and deservedly so.
The Fox network is dead to me now, and it should be to you as well.
That is all.
Incoming confusing this with FNC in 5-2-1 !
it’s funny how hte left can cancel the career of anyone on the right, over made up accusations, but the right can’t cancel a known verified racist’s career on the left
I don't even listen to any of that either. Did Rush, Hannity, Ingraham every day when I was working, but since I retired in 2003, the only time I catch Rush is if I'm in my car going somewhere. Don't watch any cable news channels either. I catch clips online from links at FR, and connect to President Trump's appearances from email notices. I haven't watched live TV shows for many years. I record every program and fast forward through the commercials.
Cable is an expensive, open sewer running into your home.
Anti White racism is openly ecouraged by the left and their propagandists; the msm, education and hollyweird.
When you lag behind CBS on dumping racists, you got a problem.
Sarah Palin was just on the last season. I’m thinking you might be familiar with her name?
We missed last season.................
That was the episode I watched. When she removed mask they were not nice.
