Here was a comment, in regard to the attempted appointment of Roland Burris by embattled Gov. Rod Blagojevich to the vacant U.S. Senate seat in Illinois, from a Fox News article published on its Web site:
“But Rush, a former Black Panther member, praised Burris as ‘worthy’ and urged lawmakers — as Blagojevich did — to distinguish the governor from his nominee.”
Why is it relevant that he is a former Black Panther? It almost strikes me as this being added by Fox News to inflame the racial aspect of the story. If that is the case, then who really is playing the race card … Rush, Fox News or both?
