The mainstreaming of racism on Fox News
The Washington Post ^ | October 26, 2016 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 10/26/2016 7:14:52 PM PDT by detective

We’ve made the distinction before, but it bears repeating: There are professional, fair and conscientious news people on Fox News. No one could watch the final debate and deny that Chris Wallace is among the best in the business. Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly have earned their place among top debate moderators and interviewers. What we are about to discuss does not apply to them, but it threatens to diminish the news legitimacy of their employer and depress their own ratings as the Fox News label becomes tarnished.

The degree to which Fox fake-news programming (e.g. Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, “Fox and Friends”) has mainstreamed and defended blatant racism is shocking. Overshadowed by Newt Gingrich’s outburst on Megyn Kelly’s show last night was Sean Hannity’s birther dog-whistle. He directed his rant to President Obama

Jennifer rubin of the Washington Post is at it again. She is simply a liar and a Clinton lapdog. She is now wildly accusing FOX News of racism without any evidence. Not her friend Megyn Kelly of course. The other people at FOX News.

Yea ...what about the 90% ‘Fake News’ at Washington Post! At least Sean Hannity and Bill O’Rielly admit that their shows are opinion! Washington masquerades 90% of their ‘opinions’ as legitimate unbiased news!

Rubin is saying this because Bill O’Reilly so thoroughly slapped her around recently.

Precisely. What a small minded person she is and a bitch at that.

Because, when the issue was brought up for McCain, a white man, in the Senate, he immediately supplied documents.

But because the issue was never allowed to be brought up in the Senate for Obama, it is racist.

See how that works?

Anyone working for FNC that this Leftist hag likes should be immediately fired.

Yes, it was BRUTAL. She came across like a buffoon. I wonder if BOR talked about this on FNC tonight?

Lose debate....goes to race card smear. I hope more and more people are realizing what complete losers most of the media are.

Well, because no one would ever say that about a white man, of course. ....Unless he were John McCain.....or Ted Cruz.

She needs to brush them with bleach and then have them sandblasted.

Rubin got her B.U.T.T handed to her on O’Reilly. The woman is a blithering idiot. She’s pretty good at throwing ignorant tantrums, just so long as no one is allowed to fight back.

Oh, and Hannity and O’Reilly are not news reporters, Rubin, they’re commentators like you, only funnier, smarter, better looking, more personable, more knowledgeable and more articulate. I’ve never seen anyone more badly mauled intellectually than you were by O’Reilly.

BTW, gotta love tagging almost all of FNC as “racists”, excepting of course the good little Democrat shills like Baier, Kelley and Wallace.
