Fox Attacks Michelle Obama

Fox Attacks Michelle Obama

Fox’s long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas.

You’re not going to believe what Fox is up to now—we could
hardly believe it ourselves.  Not only are they smearing Michelle
Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that
they believe gives them the right to slander her again.  That’s
what happened when Fox called Michelle and Barack Obama’s fist bump
a "terrorist fist jab," apologized, and then less than a
week later referred to Michelle Obama as Barack’s
"Baby
Mama
."

Fox’s long history of racism is nothing new,
but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their
coverage of the Obamas
.  Racism and fearmongering have no
place in our country or its politics, despite what Fox would have you
believe.  That’s why we put together this video, Fox
Attacks Michelle Obama
.

We cannot allow Fox’s
heinous smears and scare tactics to continue.  Sign our petition
and stop Fox from injecting racism, prejudice, and
fear into our political dialogue.  Then, send
it to all your
friends and family members for them to sign as well.  And spread it on sites
like Digg
to create an uproar.

We cannot allow Fox to
make politics about stereotypes, misinformation, and flat-out
dishonesty.  Not now.  Not ever.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
