Fox Attacks Michelle Obama

By Brave New Films

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.
