It comes as no surprise that Fox News is perhaps not the most objective news source. There is a difference, however, between a conservative perspective and McCarthyism. Sadly, the "fair and balanced team", shaken by the reversal of fortunes happening on the left-right spectrum right now, is losing their collective shit. A run down of the last couple weeks:
- Michelle Malkin, conservative blogger and Fox commentator, expresses fear and outrage over Rachel Ray's "jihadi chic keffiyeh" (other wise known as "ugly scarf") in a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Dunkin' capitulates and takes down the ad. America breathes a sigh of relief before tearing into a dozen assorted.
- Fox's E.D. Hill refers to a pre-speech double fist bump between Barack and Michelle Obama as a "terrorist fist jab". Crap. Apparently, I have been engaging in terrorist activity every time I pick up a spare down at the Lucky Strike. Should I just turn myself in? I hear Guantanamo is lovely in the summertime.
- During a segment discussing conservative attacks on Michelle Obama, a caption on-screen described the candidate's wife as "Obama's Baby Mama". Wait, the Obamas are married? Oops... I guess they aren't single handedly shredding the integrity of the American family.
On the one hand, it's kind of amusing to watch the conservative screaming-head class go nuts. On the other hand...
