Try this at home. Read an online article that is either pro-Obama or anti-tea or politically correct. Read the text and then scroll down to the comments. We might have a Humpty Dumpty situation on our hands.
Case in point: A Fox News blog did a cover story 'Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs.' Get this, use of the word hip-hop is now considered racist. At least when Fox News uses the term. Never mind that hip-hoppers were on hand for the presidential bash. Racism!
A disturbing aside: Fox News scrubbed parts of the original story that Yahoo News called "incendiary." Be that as it may, the Yahoo News story is clearly disapproving of Fox News, either for this transgression or for cumulative and ongoing transgressions. One more "How dare they speak against the chosen one" hit piece. Yawn.
But Yahoo News leaves room for reader comments. Please read them. Even when the article is blatantly anti-Fox/pro-Obama-poor-poor-baby-waaaa the comments are overwhelmingly whiskey tango foxtrot.
Check it out.
