Fox & Friends 'Apology' Includes Racist Dog Whistle?

Posted by Priscilla -26.60pc on September 09, 2014 · Flag

In its ongoing attempt to show that white Americans are endangered by scary black people, Fox News has created an alternate reality where black on white crime is a clear and present danger. The idea that white Americans are being besieged by roving gangs of black thugs allows Fox to advance their ever popular victimization meme as well as blame "black culture" for this supposedly pervasive criminal activity. And that's why Fox eagerly provided coverage for the mythical "knock-out" game - an activity in which black youth assaulted innocent, primarily white people just for kicks. So was it a coincidence that during Fox & Friends' non-apology for its domestic violence humor, it ran the chyron shown below the fold? Was Fox using a disgusting act of domestic violence, perpetrated on a black woman, to advance its "scary black man" motif?

Ray Rice is black; but this wasn't a "game" - it was domestic violence - which is perpetrated by men of all racial backgrounds. So was the use of this visual just a coincidence or just another pathetic way for Fox News to promote its racially divisive agenda?

Sorry, Joe, but the three links that I checked out don’t offer a shred of EVIDENCE that the “knockout game” is REAL. (It’s also worth noting most of the sites you presented hava a slightly right-wing bias; that first site uses a REPUBLICON legislator’s word as if it’s scientific fact.)

All of the “victims” of the “game” CLAIM it’s real, but all I read was little more than the basis of mythology. You know how mythology works, right? People see a phenomenon they can’t explain rationally so they make up something to fit their perspectives.

And because someone made up a “knockout game,” now small-minded people decide to use it to explain a random stranger’s beating them up.

Think of it like this: Most of the people who believe the “knockout game” is real also happen to be people who deny climate change as real.

Joe, Photo Op Hannocchio is in no position to call other people lazy. This aging media hack has staff that does all his dirty work for him.

When he comes to the Fox “News” studio his amateur show is completed. He meets with producers to discuss the day’s show, prepares his notes, goes to makeup, enter the studio, greet guests, stand in front of the camera and read the teleprompter.

Hannocchio states that he works hard. BS. It’s the underpaid staffers who do the real work in preparing the show for later broadcast: Researching topics, confirming guests, writing the script, and other high-pressure duties.

Reading a teleprompter and notes from other publications is not a real job. Fox “News” interns can do that job. The real work is what we stated above.

Of course Priscilla, the knock out game is totally mythical!

So I guess that all those news stories (links above just a handful) are pure fiction.

On the other hand, maybe you truly believe there is no such thing? Maybe in your part of the country, it has never happened? And if it ever did, maybe you’re young and quick and strong enough to see the attacker out of the corner of your eye and whirl around and give him a swift kick in the cajones?

Ya know… it’s so easy to find “racist” motivation in almost every word uttered on FNC.

Maybe, Priscilla, someone ought to concentrate on calling out the real racists? Not difficult… I only had to listen to a few digusting minutes of Slanthead Hannity on the radio today to hear him (once again) complaining about people who don’t look for work, saying they’d “rather stay home and watch Queen Latifah.”
