After Eric Erickson and Lou Dobbs made headlines on Fox Business Network with their sexist comments over breadwinner Moms last week, the women's rights group UltraViolet developed an ad calling on FBN to "retire" those two plus Juan Williams who was also in the segment. "Spare them the pain of equality," the ad says facetiously. But Fox executives refused to run the ad, saying that airing its own footage would somehow violate copyright.
Huffington Post reports:
Nita Chaudhary, co-founder of UltraViolet, said she believes Fox's rejection of the ad and refusal to fire or apologize for the pundits who made the controversial comments is tantamount to an endorsement of their sexist views.
"It appears the men at Fox News have lost their minds," she told HuffPost in a phone interview. "The fact that they won't air this ad shows that the company is standing by Dobbs and Erickson and Williams and everyone else. The biggest statement it sends is, 'We're okay with the backward thinking of the sexist, misognist men leading our programming.'"
