Wanda Sykes Rips Lack of Racial Diversity at Fox News in Off-Color 'Negro News' Spoof

It might seem a little strange to see Fox News bashed on its Fox broadcast parent network, but that's what you would have witnessed if you tuned into "The Wanda Sykes Show," Saturday night's late-night alternative to NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

On the Dec. 12 broadcast of "The Wanda Sykes Show," Sykes, made famous for her attacks on conservative talker Rush Limbaugh and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at last May's White House Correspondents Dinner, took a shot at the Fox News Channel for her perception that it lacks black correspondents (emphasis added).

"So I've been digging around here and I found some old footage of black reporters on Fox News - you know, back when they were allowed to be on that network," Sykes said. "Fascinating stuff - take a look at this one."

Does everything have to be about color with these people. The only reason Wanda has her show is because of her color. Does she really think she is interesting and funny?

Ms. Sykes apparently never watches lily-white MSNBC.

Who would give this individual, Joy Behar or Whoopi Goldberg a show? What were they thinking?

Wow. I imagine Wendell Goler, Lauren Green, and Harris Faulkner should be less than pleased with this.

She’s the man half of her lesbian relationship and her “friend” had twins not long ago.

That bitter, racist witch just isn’t funny. She dresses one joke up in different outfits—over and over—and that joke never was funny.

She is not funny. Fox News could have a black anchor 24+7 and they would still be called rightwing racists.
