Whirled News - Fox News Apologizes for Unintentional Obama-Clinton Slur

Fox News president Roger Ailes today apologized for a Fox News headline that said, “Obama-Clinton Discovered in Bed Together,” contending that while the story itself accurately related how the two contenders for the Democratic nomination were actually coordinating an attack to wrest control of the government from the Republicans and hand it over to the terrorists in November, the headline itself “may have been a bit misleading.”

“We in no way meant to evoke stereotypes of an oversexed black male lusting after a white woman,” he said. “Instead we merely meant to remind our viewers of the Clintons as a licentious couple who have no respect for the exclusiveness of sex within a marriage, of Hillary Clinton as a shrill woman who fights in an hysterical and vindictive manner, and of Barack Obama as a naïve black dupe who gets caught up in matters which he cannot understand and which are beyond his control.” Rejecting accusations of Fox News as racist for running the headline, Ailes said that his news organization was repeating basically the same story line as Richard Wright’s Native Son, a “widely read novel written by another Communist Negro man.”

“Fox News remains firmly committed to analyzing the major political stories of our time, going beneath al the blather about policies and programs to get at the truth of what’s really going on,” he said.
