Is This The Way It Is Suppose To Be?

Hi Everyone,

Every once in a blue moon, I read something that really makes me scratch my head in disbelief. I am fully aware that people seem to have a favorite news channel that they watch more then any other. I also understand that people believe that certain news channels sway more to one political party or the other. But when it comes to right and wrong, no news channel should be immune.

According to the HuffPost, Fox Business Network rejected a TV ad created by a women's rights group that calls for pundits Lou Dobbs, Erick Erickson and Juan Williams to be fired for negative remarks they made on the network a few weeks ago about women who work outside the home.

Ultraviolet, an online community that advocates for women's equality, created the the ad using Fox Business' own footage of Dobbs, Williams and Erickson complaining that the rise of female breadwinners in families will ruin our society, hurt children and undermine social order. Really? What planet do those three come from? How soon can they can deported back to that planet? How can anyone say something like that? That is the utmost diss to women that I have heard in a while.

FYI, a spokesperson for Fox News did not respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. In my opinion, if Fox News rejected the ad, refused to fire the three stupidos for their comments and even refused to apologize means nothing other then they approve of the their sexist views. Don't you agree? If they are allowed to continue to say anything they want without fear of repercussions, what's to stop them from making other more incendiary statements? Right, absolutely nothing.

Even though their statements were outright lies, the bigger picture should be just as concerning to all who watch Fox News. Is that the kind of news channel that you want to watch? Fox News is now as much to blame and has as much common sense as the three stupidos, which is none. Fox has again shown their true colors by not at the very least reprimanding the three and by not even putting out a statement. People should boycott Fox News for this reason. They have no business allowing such statements on their shows.

Now if you continue to watch Fox News, you too are then sending a message to the network that the statements were OK. Do you really think the statements are OK? If not, stop watching. That will send a message to Fox News that they will hear. It is all about viewer numbers.

Til next week.
