I cannot watch Fox News Channel because they seem to have a negative view of anyone who falls outside of the Anglo Saxon category.

Back in January, there was a Latina author on the show. She was saying how she happy that Muslims are boycotting some airlines, how that will make her life easier. How Muslims and Arabs need to assimilate and they are the ones messing up travel for everyone. Very ignorant woman in my opinion and I dont feel that what she had to say was newsworthy but more so hate slinging.

Since then, I dont watch that channel.

Interesting.

Some of the complaints are legitimate...others, less so.

I don't think there's that much propaganda to the video though, it's stating the obvious to say that Fox News is biased...heavily to right at that. Many conservatives (it's constituency) are closet racists if you ask me, and they are staunchy anti-liberal. Most blacks are liberal, support liberal causes, or benefit from the same. The two camps and naturally and diametrically opposed on everything socio-political and I think this is what you're seeing played out on the video. There is plenty fodder there from which to cull a video in support of them being anti-black...but I think it's really evidence of them being anti-liberal...which includes dang near everything black.

I think that was Mark Fuhrman...the vid was kinda grainy. I have no problem with ignorance like that making it on the air...it makes the rest of us who oppose them seem more appealing to the objective viewer.

The video isn't exaggerated. I used to watch Fox News (including the O'Reilly Factor, Fox and Friends and Hannity and Colmes) but I just couldn't take it anymore. Some of the views expressed are so blatantly racist and anyone who disagrees in the slightest is hushed and belittled. They are doing their damndest to try and kill Obama's candidacy. Thank God nothing has stuck yet.

Yea but they are worse with Obama. Honestly, not even Hillary Clinton gets it as bad as he does. At one point, everyday they trotted out some new info and most of it was either ethnic or racial political bashing.
