Why did Fox Nation choose to showcase a video about a distraught young woman shouting at, then macing and punching a local news crew from Washington, D.C. when they refused to move away from the (public) sidewalk outside her home? Normally, Fox Nation focuses on attacking President Obama and Democrats politics. Well, even if it wasn't because the woman is African American, the Fox Nation readers sure appreciated the opportunity to let loose with a disgusting stream of racist comments. Oh, and they worked in President Obama while they were at it! (H/T reader J.L.)
Here's a screen grab of Fox Nation's current home page, at 2:18 PM ET:
All the Fox Nation stories above - and 4 out of 5 of those showcased from the Fox News Channel - are anti-Obama. Even the "Pic of the Day," which is entitled "Web Sites For Dummies" is a snark attack on HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and ObamaCare.
So why would Fox Nation be interested in a story in which a neighbor of an active crime scene gets overly upset at a TV news crew that refuses to leave the sidewalk in front of her house? I think these comments might explain it. By the way, our reader J.L. sent them to us on October 31. The ones I spot checked (about three or four) were still there.
Warning: not for the faint of heart.
By the way, this is one of many, many examples of Fox Nation deliberately race baiting and with comments full of racism. Don't forget, Fox Nation is the originator of the now-infamous "Hip Hop BBQ" headline about President Obama's birthday party. So if anyone should find themselves ambushed by Fox Nation editor and O'Reilly Factor producer Jesse Watters, feel free to throw his own history back at him.
