From Politico.com via Oliver Willis:

“A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment,” Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine said in a statement to Politico….. Unfortunately for the network, this comes just days after Fox’s E.D. Hill addressed her use of the phrase “terrorist fist jab” on-air in reference to the famous Michelle-Barack fist bump (or pound) made just before his celebratory speech in St. Paul.”Politico.com

    Amazing how that poor judgment seems to be getting regular exercise

    Fox (and other media outlets) needs to meet and come up with a POLICY that is proactive and makes it known that these ratings-seeking, bad-taste comments will not be tolerated. It is time to try to get respect over ratings. Who knows–could the ratings follow the channel that people can honestly expect to exhibit class when reporting? It would be a reason for me to watch. As it is now, I can’t even watch Fox out of curiosity.

    The attacks on Michelle Obama are so mind-boggling that racism is the first thought to explain them. Do any of her attackers know her personally that they feel these attacks are warranted? The Clintons threatened the media within an inch of their lives if they so much as mentioned Chelsea and the press backed off for YEARS. Why is the media, perhaps Fox News in particular, so comfortable going after the candidates wife, his children? Would the right-wingers be dismissive if Michelle was banger? Sometimes I think all the haters are jealous of what she and her family did with the opportunities that were available to us all…

    Michelle Malkin is a ‘wannna be’ Ann Coulter and she doesn’t even come close. Michelle Obama is not running for the Presidency, her husband is.
    Let’s unite behind her with our actions and show them just how powerful we really are. The pundits and those who believe in inciting fear have failed to realize that everything that they do, have done or even attempt to do has failed and will continue to fail. Let Americans decide for themselves and not let the negative media or the idiots do it for them.

    I WATCHED THE EPISODE OF “THE VIEW” WHERE MICHELLE OBAMA WAS TRYING TO SHOW HER MOTHERLY SIDE. SHE SAID THAT SHE AND HER DAUGHTER RECENTLY WENT TO SEE THE MOVIE “SEX AND THE CITY”. BARACH OBAMA ALSO MENTTIONED THAT TOUCHING MOMENT. WELL, MY HUSBAND AND I RECENTLY VIEWED THAT MOVIE AND I WAS APPALLED TO SEE WHAT I CALL A SOFT PORNO MOVIE. THERE WAS SO MUCH EXPLICIT SEX SCENES THAT I WAS SHOCKED THAT SHE WOULD BRAG ABOUT TAKING HER DAUGHTER TO THAT MOVIE. I DON’T REALLY THINK BARACH SAW THAT MOVIE OR HE TOO WOULD HAVE BEEN APPALLED. FRONTAL AND REAR NUDE SCENES, ACTUALLY HUMPING AND GRINDING.

    IF SHE IS PROUD TO HAVE SPENT HER TIME WITH HER DAUGHTER VIEWING THAT MOVIE, I PERSONALLY QUESTION NOT ONLY HER PARENTING SKILLS BUT THE JUDGEMENT OF BOTH BARACH AND MICHELLE’S MORAL CONVICTONS.

    I AM CERTANILY NOT A PRUDE, BUT THIS MOVIE DEFINETLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOT SEEN BY THIS CHILD.
