Fox Nation’s Race-Baiting ‘Ghetto Tour’ Story

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on May 21, 2013 · Flag

Given Fox Nation’s obsessive focus on maligning President Obama, it’s hard to think the website posted a story about ghetto tours for any reason other than to race bait. And sure enough, their readers took the bait. (H/T Barbara S.)

Here’s a screen grab of the “new stories” on Fox Nation as of 5/20/13, 10:35 PM ET. The top story (not shown) is about the Oklahoma tornado. But just about every other story underneath it is anti-Obama.

So ask yourself, how does this story fit in? The post, called, NYC Bus Company Offers ‘Ghetto’ Tour, begins with these two paragraphs:

Tourists are crowding onto a Bronx bus tour that promises “a ride through a real New York City ‘GHETTO’ ” — and local politicians are furious.

Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a trip that includes stops at food-pantry lines and a “pickpocket” park.

Could the appeal be an opportunity for readers to sound off about minorities and poor people? Check out these comments, most of which are more than 10 hours old, some more than a day old, that have not been removed by any moderator, despite ample time to do so. Check out the "likes," too.

These are the same “pro-life” asshats who were whining about how Dr. Gosnell was hurting minority women and “babies” and who still whine about how Planned Parenthood “targets” poor women who access birth control and abortion because they want to get out of poverty. And while they praise any poor woman who doesn’t have an abortion, once that woman gives birth, she, and her baby, become part of the “takers” and are derided, in racial terms, by those who professed to care about them. The right wing “pro-life” politicians, who seek to limit access to reproductive health care, have no qualms cutting back the social safety net for those women. There is no depth to which they will not sink.

The moderators of the Fux Nation cesspool of hate, including Bildo’s butt boy Jesse Watters, know how to push all the teabagger buttons. The mere mention of any black-skinned American starts the Fux Nation turds spinning and thrashing about.

What's Fox Nation's interest in this story if not to use it for race-baiting?
