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.

Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets. 

Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new “forever war”—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.  

As we’ve seen over and over, this administration uses lies, misdirection, and attempts to flood the zone to justify its abuses of power at home and abroad. Just as Trump, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth offer erratic and contradictory rationales for the attacks on Iran, the administration is also spreading the lie that the upcoming midterm elections are under threat from noncitizens on voter rolls. When these lies go unchecked, they become the basis for further authoritarian encroachment and war. 

In these dark times, independent journalism is uniquely able to uncover the falsehoods that threaten our republic—and civilians around the world—and shine a bright light on the truth. 

The Nation’s experienced team of writers, editors, and fact-checkers understands the scale of what we’re up against and the urgency with which we have to act. That’s why we’re publishing critical reporting and analysis of the war on Iran, ICE violence at home, new forms of voter suppression emerging in the courts, and much more. 

But this journalism is possible only with your support.

This March, The Nation needs to raise $50,000 to ensure that we have the resources for reporting and analysis that sets the record straight and empowers people of conscience to organize. Will you donate today?
