Granted, Fox News’ target demographic is probably not too terribly current when it comes to understanding contemporary pop cultural references and practices, but Fox she-anchor E.D. Hill went above and beyond the call of ridiculousness by calling Barack and Michelle Obama’s fist pound a “terrorist fist jab.” Really, E.D.?

Looks like some of the top brass at Fox didn’t like Hill’s semiotic analysis of the fist pound either—she has apparently lost her show.

Could we not just shut Fox out of business?

I’d have to say, Pat Buchanan is such a lovable racist. Truly the Archie Bunker of MSNBC. What a goof.

Fox is an ultra-right-wing fascist propaganda machine that PRETENDS to be a “News” service by being propped up with Rupert Murdoch’s billions and his desire for America to be the spearpoint of a new fascist empire that will conquer the world so people like him can have unimaginable wealth and power on the backs of the rest of us.

I’m not a Marxist or a Socialist.  I’m merely able to recognize the reality of what Fox is and pushes.  They twist anything and EVERYTHING to make non-neo-con fascists look like “enemies” of America
