Fox Suspends Stacey Dash, Ralph Peters for On-Air Profanity

Fox has suspended commenters Stacey Dash and Ralph Peters for two weeks after two separate instances of on-air profanity while criticizing President Obama.

Peters referred to the president as a common slang for female anatomy when he appeared on Fox Business Network on Monday morning. His comments were not "bleeped," although Peters was reprimanded on-air by host Stuart Varney. Peters then apologized for his prior language.

Later on Monday, Dash said that Obama "doesn't give a s--t" about terrorism during the show Outnumbered. Dash's comments were partially censored.

There is a new news network called One America News Network, OANN. Not yet widely available unfortunately.

Beckel has been gone for some time.

I have no problem with the suspensions. Everyone knows that kind of language is not allowed on air. Break the rules, face the consequences.

Two brave people. Fox is moving in the wrong direction with this. They should can Geraldo Rivera, for one. Megyn Kelly should also get the old heave-ho.

Fox News is an organization that was once famous for proclaiming “We report, you decide”, and for being “Fair and Balanced”.

Somehow, this was lost in the subtle realignments that have swept over the Fox empire of recent, and they appear to have cut loose from their former moorings. It probably had been going on for a while, but when the Fox News team hosted the Republican debate, which sort of got used as target practice on The Donald, that jarred a lot of folks who had been at least somewhat supportive of the Fox agenda.

I believe the term is “jumped the shark”. The Fonz never recovered from that, either.

Fox is run by the two boys now.

And one of them's wife works for the Clinton Climate Initiative Foundation.

Geraldo is the worst. He’s worse than Combs (or however his name is spelled).

Well, “The Five”(except for Jesse)ain’t too thrilled with Trump’s immigration freeze. I guess we peons don’t have any say on who we allow into our country. If we do, we are racists.

Eff ‘em all, including Fox News.

TheBlaze.com (Glenn beck) is online. One America News Network is also an alternative. Then there is NewsMax.

None has much of a following yet, but they probably all three beat out Al Jazeera.

By a good margin.

For relatively unbiased news, at least by US standards, try CCTV 4, English language broadcast of official Chinese Communist news.
