ā€œActually, heā€™ll be back on the air in 24 hours,ā€ a Fox spokesman said. ā€œBut at the rate weā€™re polluting the airwaves, itā€™ll feel like two weeks.ā€

One guy uses a racially insensitive term and Fox News suspends him. Tucker Carlson hosts a racially insensitive hour and he gets a free pass.

Check that, 23 full hours of racial insensitivity.

Funny how the right howl and scream for someone on the leftā€™s head and they barely slap the hand of one of their own.

Not ha-ha funny.

ā€œHis remarks do not reflect the sentiments of Fox News and we do not in any way condone them.ā€

Now Iā€™m confused. I thought his remarks were four square with those of Fox and its viewers. Fox owes it to the public to explain this sudden shift in its political leanings.

Iā€™m actually surprised Fox suspended him. Perhaps even Fox is realizing the tide is turning?

But Lewandowski saying ā€œwomp wompā€ about a girl with Down Syndrome being separated from her mother at the border is just fine with Fox.

Sorry, Fox News, not buying your ā€œtokenā€ effort at not being a home for racists.

Iā€™m so sick and tired of the wrist slaps given to these monsters. This shit stain will be back on the air and made a hero by the alt-right because of his racism. Someone should just knock the ever-lovinā€™ shit out of this worthless load of manure and show him that there are consequences to being a rabid racist.

Heā€™s a poisonous lying creep who gave us Citizens United. To Fox viewers heā€™s a great Amerken.

ā€œWe vilify - you decideā€

We never say the N word at Fox News - we are so much more subtle than that!

30 million people are scratching their heads saying ā€œI donā€™t get itā€¦what did he say that was wrong?ā€

Itā€™s highly unlikely that this conversation actually occurred. Heā€™s flying in AF1, not in a Ford Trimotor.

ETA. Following Dan Daleā€™s live tweeting, Trump is his usual unhinged self, relitigating the 1916 election and exhibiting geographic illiteracy.


Aaaaargh, heā€™s ratfuckinā€™ nuts

ā€œEver-pickinā€™ā€? No.

Ever-loving or Cotton-Picking, yes, but not Ever-Picking.

Anyway, I never thought of cotton-picking as a racially derogatory slur before, but I can certainly see how someone who is black might take offense. So, I learned something new today.

FOX prefers their racist employees to be not overtly racist.
