I guess Fox News is worried about John McCain's pledge to run a clean campaign so they will dirty it up as much as they can on thier own. And to think this comes from the same people who are always whining that CBS, etc. is biased.
MSNBC's David Shuster accused the Clinton's of "Pimping Out" Chelsea on-air and was later suspended -link. It isn't just Fox. It is every news organization/individual that decides to inject modern slang into their reporting while trying to be witty or hip. I still cringe when I hear 'pwned' on Sportscenter.
Wait, MSNBC's anchor says something that is slang and inappropriate (despite becoming more and more mainstream) and is suspended and Fox's anchor does it and gets to apologize (E.D. re: Terrorist fist pump) and then comes back less than a week later and is in the middle of another incident along the same lines?
I'm guessing that she will get a raise from Murdoch.

The Foxnews anchor said no such thing. It was just text on the screen. Look MSNBC is racist :roll:

yes... she did. this is stupid.

"My Baby's Daddy" isn't slang, "Baby-Daddy" is. You're being willfully obtuse if you don't see a difference between those two statements.

That doesn't make this thread, this issue, and those who were so easily offended, any less retarded.

I know that sometimes it's easy to forget, but remember that FOX is supposed to be a 'news' organization.

CNN Transcript
BLITZER: We can take a look. Maybe he will and maybe he won't but she looks like she's about to introduce him. Let's listen in.
MICHELLE OBAMA, WIFE OF BARACK OBAMA: My baby's daddy Barack Obama. Yeah!
Someone at Fox got too cute for their britches.
I wonder if Fox is going to label Cindy McCain "John's wise and beautiful woman wife" because he called her a wise and beautiful woman?
Wow--tasteful rebuttal
Fits the Fox MO. Seems like a legit rebuttal.

Show me anywhere Fox News has said the same type of thing? The c word is the offense here--he didn't have to go that far.

what the hell? By your own crappy standards, you should be offended by your own "use" of this dreaded 'c-word'.. it's in part of the text that you quoted and have repeated three times now..
STOP SPREADING SUCH FILTH YOU NASTY, NASTY BOY! (girl?)

Oh stop. I can find sandorskis reply funny which it was. I was just trying to make the point that calling someone a baby mama and the reply is calling the oppositions wife a wise and beautiful woman is not even close to the same ball park. It's kind of like comparing sticking your tongue in the holiest of holies and a foot rub--if you get the reference.

I can't disagree emphatically enough. I really don't see the racial connotations in the original segment, and the word has moved well into the mainstream and beyond its roots to the point where it's used in at least tabloid journalism on a regular basis and everyday conversations with no racial intentions.
Oh come on... Would you seriously consider using the term 'baby momma' with a professional female coworker that you weren't on a friendly relationship with?
I wouldn't use it because it's slang, not because it's somehow racist.

If you wish to have a racist, sick, and perverted sense of humor, do not be surprised if you are judged at face value.
it was a stupid throw-away comment.
if you're reading into it as racist, sick, and perverted, you need to take a step back.

I guess if CNN called McCain "That old man" no one would care? Or how about "That old Geyser" or maybe "that old cracka" would that work as well?
