• A June 11 Fox News broadcast graphic identified Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama” rather than as Obama’s wife.
This was a probably a joke directed at Michelle's own self described position which Barack holds in her life. Barack is "my babies' daddy". She said it herself.
• On the night that Obama secured the Democratic Party nomination, he and Michelle bumped knuckles, a gesture that the Fox News anchor referred to as a “terrorist jab.” To his credit, the anchor has since apologized for the remark.
She referred to it as possibly being a "terrorist jab", not that it WAS a terrorist jab, and even immediately followed it with the clarification that different people were interpreting it has different things.
• On a Fox News broadcast during the Puerto Rico primary campaign, Republican strategist Roger Stone alleged that Michelle Obama had publicly referred to Whites as “whitey” and that a tape existed that would back up the charge of her alleged racism. The smear that Stone passed along originated with right-wing blogger Larry Johnson and made the rounds of right-wing blogs, repeated by talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.
Bob Beckel, the lefty dumbocrat, made the first assertions on FOX about the "whitey" tape.
• While Obama’s father may be Muslim, the repeated veiled references on Fox News to Obama himself being an unpatriotic Muslim who refuses to say the pledge of allegiance or wear an American flag lapel pin while intending to destroy the United States are too numerous to mention in this space.
Because, just like everything you've mentioned so far it's a bunch of leftist bullshit. The only thing Liberals seem to effectively produce.
• The breathless non-stop “coverage” of the “controversy” surrounding remarks by Obama’s pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, has been covered extensively elsewhere and is also too voluminous to chronicle in this space. This occurred simultaneously with Fox News’ failure to cover outrageous comments made by McCain supporters John Hagee and Rod Parsley.
.
The connection between McCain and people like Hagee is not even remotely similar to Rev Wright. And Obama's repeated bullshit comments about it made it worse. One day he says he never heard anything offensive in his church, and the next day he says he "heard some contraversial things".
• Several Fox News personnel have been only too happy to smear Obama by assertion, using such tactics as equating Obama’s first name with Osama bin Laden’s name and Obama’s middle name (Hussein) with Saddam.
Many news persons have accidently called him the wrong name. I don't recall FOX making a habit of it.
One notable example was a joke made by Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, who reportedly said in a speech, “It’s true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don’t know if it’s true President Bush called [Pakistan President Pervez] Musharraf and said, ‘Why can’t we catch this guy?’”
Ahh, so no one can make fun of Obama?? This speech was read live on FOX, too, right? Other networks routinely make fun of McCain's age.
• Last year, the Fox News program Fox and Friends aired a report that Obama had attended a radical Islamic school in Indonesia when he was a child. When the allegation was shown to be false, Fox and Friends’ co-hosts distanced themselves from the story, which had begun as an unsubstantiated story in Insight Magazine, a publication by the right-wing Washington Times newspaper.
The allegation was not actually false. He did attend a madrassa. The "debatable" part was whether or not it was "radical".
• On June 6, Fox News anchor Brit Hume said about Obama: “His campaign has emphasized his faith in part to dispel what the campaign calls an online smear campaign which contends among other things that Obama was raised a Muslim. There is even a statement on his official campaign website reading, quote, ‘Obama has never been a Muslim, and is a committed Christian.’ But Obama’s half brother is not so sure. Malik Obama tells The Jerusalem Post that, ‘if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background.’”
Snipped a bunch of leftist bullshit. The only person who can answer the facts of this, were probably someone within Israel that has the question he was asked. Your bulolshit attempt to cut out a bunch of his response and remove the qualifier in his opening sentence of his responses shows your intent is not to show a possible confusion, but yourself top propagandize FOX supposedly being "Anti-Obama". You and ABC = busted. Did the Jerusalem post know what the question was that was asked? Probably since they were the original source. Malike starts his response to the question you cannot hear with ""I don't think that's in any way going to be something to worry about."
The reality is FOX news actually delivers facts the leftist media doesn't like. And you don't like them for that reason, too. Buy a one way ticket to communist China, where you only get one version of the "truth".
