Fox News Keeps Silent On Dr. Laura's Repeated Use Of The So-Called N-Word

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is shown here in a screen grab from a Fox News program. Dr. Laura appears somewhat regularly on the network and the network ignores her repeated use of the so-called n-word in a venomous and racial rant.

Think Progress and News Hounds makes an excellent point about the right and the far right going silent about the crazed rant of Dr. Laura Schlessinger who hysterically and repeatedly dropped the so-called n-word like it was her job.

What has Fox News had to say about Dr. Laura's rant ...

In recent months, Fox News (the public relations firm of the GOP) has made a point of digging up and pointing out as many cases as possible of black racism to scare white people.

This is from News Hounds:

Fox News is so quick to accuse black people of racism against whites. Yet, as Think Progress reports, it has ignored Dr. Laura Schlessinger's on-air harangue with an African America caller in which Schlessinger repeatedly used the n-word (Huffington Post counted 11 times in 5 minutes). So where's the "fair and balanced" coverage? Nowhere to be found apparently.

This is from Think Progress:

Why has Fox News ignored the story? Perhaps because Schlessinger is a regular guest on the network. Just last year, Sean Hannity hosted the right wing radio host to promote her new book.

Perhaps, but perhaps it's because it is not aligned with the Fox News trend of reporting black racism.

Fox News has predictably been very quiet on this subject, but plays up everything even remotely negative said about their darling, former half-term Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (Fox actually pays Palin to, in essence, provide her a media platform to stay in the spotlight ... quite an arrangement when a PR firm pays to represent a client).
