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.

Time is running out to have your gift matched 

In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you. 

So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.

And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States. 

At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society. 

We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.

Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away. 

Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year. 

Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!

Love and Solidarity,

John Nichols
