Obama Baby Mama — Fox News
I’m so pissed at this one it’s difficult to type while I sit here and shaking my head, mouth wide open.
Oliver Willis sends along this screen capture of the vile Michelle Malkin on Fox News along with a suitable suggestion or two for Fox in their future endeavors.
I really thought the media couldn’t do worse than the disrespect they showed towards Hillary Clinton over the years. But true to form, Fox shows there is no bar too low, no hole too deep that they won’t dive in head first, hoping to find a single drop of GOP water they can carry.
Turkana at The Left Coast notes that it’s going to be a long, lean 8 years with all the bigots and misogyny that’ll be exposed there, requiring replacement on a regular basis.

Dear Fox News,
I am disappointed in your choice to appeal to racial bigotry in your broadcasts.
In a recent segment, you apparently paid Michelle Malkin to comment on Mrs. Obama. In the segment, she referred to Mrs. Obama (who has been married to her husband for 16 years) as his “baby’s mama.” The term is street slang used to describe the mother of an African-American child born out of wedlock. It is hardly appropriate to use the term to describe any person in a news broadcast. But it is wholly inappropriate to use it to describe a faithful and happily married mother, simply because she happens to be black. Last I checked, skin color was not synomymous with immorality. Yet this is what Michelle Malkin was paid to say on your network.
More alarmingly, the editors went a step further and committed this slur to on-screen text, essentially offering Fox News’ endorsement Malkin’s bigoted opinion.
Today, I have decided to boycott Fox News. Furthermore, I am going to aggressively encourage the businesses that I patronize (the banks, bars, and restaurants that I visit) to switch to CNN or MSNBC. It is a small gesture, but I hope that others will join me. People should not be accused of immorality because of the color of their skin.
