How Do You Think Fox News Wants You To Remember Trayvon Martin?

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on July 20, 2013 · Flag

Trayvon Martin's family's attorney, Daryl Parks, visited the Hannity show last night - which, if you don't count the host's relentless advocacy on behalf of George Zimmerman, was not bad - for a rather fair and, yes, balanced discussion hosted by a guy who has got to be the biggest race baiter on national television. Perhaps the interview was too friendly for FoxNews.com producers. When they posted the clip on the internet, they called, "How should Trayvon Martin be remembered?" The thuggish photo was kind of a clue to what they were thinking the answer should be.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then compare this grab to the actual video it's supposed to represent. The video is also embedded below.

The FCC won’t fine a conservative, Joseph- At least not without an obscene amount of public outrage. It’s part of their eternal thank you to Reagan for deregulating them.

Aria, let Limbaugh do it. Then let him—or more accurately, the stations carrying his program—deal with the consequences of their actions. Every terrestrial radio station carrying his show is licensed by the FCC and is required to “serve the public” (even if the Fairness Doctrine no longer exists). When the local stations start getting complaints about the “language” Limbaugh’s using (and, if the people who are offended do the right thing and send letters of complaint to the FCC as well as the local station), Limbaugh could find his show pulled from every station unwilling to face the loss of their licenses.

If the FCC was willing to fine each and every CBS affiliate over “Nipplegate,” then Limbaugh’s use of the “n-word” on the air should certainly have repercussions.

(It should be noted that “South Park” had an episode several years ago in which the “n-word” was used very freely and very frequently, but co-creator Trey Parker who wrote the episode made certain that the word kept its edge as a disparaging word. Limbaugh, I feel reasonably safe in noting, most likely doesn’t plan to show even a fraction of a percentage of the sensitivity that was shown on “South Park.”)

Hannity may be the worst overall, but as I’ve said on here, on my social media, and did a couple test write-ups on… For Trayvon Martin, you have to hand it to The Five. They have put more (and longer) segments into blatantly undisguised hate speech than anyone but Limbaugh.

And in terms of how bad they got, the only reason they’re second to Limbaugh overall is that Limbaugh thinks he can say the N-Word on the air now, and has made sure we know how he plans to use it. Other than that, same volume per hour, same level of viciousness, same “why should I hide it?” attitude.

Hannity’s 2nd on Fox, third overall, entirely because he cares enough to put on fronts. But I digress… carry on.
