Fox Run

Nas, rapper and husband of my hair crush Kelis, has taken the intuitive and spoke out against Fox News. Nas led a petition orchestrated by the Color of Change organization demanding that that Fox News stop racist smears.

Fox News is owned by evil Australian and friend of Bush, Rupert Murdoch. Its home to blonde bobble head anchors, Bill O’Reilly, and my favorite, Sean Hannity (I scored two free lattes off the guy in a book store in Long Island. Thanks, Sean!). Murdoch owns the News Corporation, the largest media conglomerate in. the. world. Meaning, Murdoch owns almost all media and probably me.

So what racist smears you ask? Fox News referred to Michelle Obama, a lawyer and former dean of the University of Chicago, as Obama’s “Baby Mama.” Fox News contributor Liz Trotta referred to Barak Obama as “Osama” and stated that they should both be killed. Michelle and Barak pounded fists after Barak won the Democratic nomination; Fox News referred to the pound as a “terrorist fist bump.” I realize that the white anchors of Fox News don’t understand much outside of Starbucks and Dancing with the Stars, but just because you don’t understand something, that doesn’t mean it’s an act of terrorism.

Like a preteen girl, Fox news is just jealous that both Michelle and Barak Obama are intelligent, charming, and cool. I’d like to laugh the news station off in a Stephen Colbert-esq manner (after all, Stephen did model is caricature after “Papa Bear” O’Reilly) but Fox News is the most watched news in America.

Nas dedicated a whole song to the fake news channel called Sly Fox.
