You give me way too little credit. This miscue by Fox is not the fault of the McCain campaign in the slightest. Nor does it make Obama a better candidate.

I point it out solely as yet another indisputable and objective fact that the Fox News Network is sinister and awful and NOT fair and balanced.

Did you read the story? It was a producer. Not an intern. High enough in the food chain I think to show their true colors.

No pun intended.

Huh!?

Referring to Obama's wife as "Obama's baby mama" does not seem a little racist to you? Not even a little?

not since she referred to herself by that title before Fox did IIRC

EDIT: looked it up and she actually called BO her baby's daddy

Is there a reason why you do not point these trivial matters out about the other 10 networks?
