Mass Mediacrocy

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan told Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball that the White House used talking points provided by the FOX network. This revelation is unsurprising and reaffirms what many have already believed about the Bush administration’s connection to FOX. These talking points have been crafted very specifically in response to political events. McClellan’s testimony is just a greater addition to the list of this administration’s crimes.

This is an excellent assortment of clips from FOX News showing how they manipulate and outright inject falsified talking points in attempting to label Michelle Obama as an angry black woman or as a terrorist through the controversial “terrorist fist bump” comment by E.D. Hill. This outright racism should not be acceptable on any television broadcast network, especially one that specializes in delivering so called “news.” Boycott FOX.

I should also note that I remember it not being only FOX but other news agencies like MSNBC and CNN overstepping the comment Michelle made about being proud of America for the first time. She later came out and said she misspoke and rather meant she was proud of the political process and their movement for change.
