Well Fox News's local affiliate, Fox Carolina has finally shown us how racist the culture at Fox News is.
Here is the link so you can see the it for yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fox Carolina isn't an affiliate of Fox News, is it? It's the local affiliate of the Fox network, which also owns Fox News. Anyways, how are you projecting a piece made by 8 rednecks in a local newsroom onto an entire network? Doesn't make much sense to me.

she replied she did the story exactly as she was told to and that officials at the network were very pleased with her coverage.

To say fox news and fox affiliates are completely isolated idealogically is a naive statement.

A part of the excellent documentry 'Out Foxed' tells the story of a local affiliate that was brow beat into running negative stories about democrats. They had to run entire pieces unedited that took pot shots at respected policital figures.

So that is not a hasty generalization. The culture of Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch is pervasive. Look at the Katrina coverage or the constant bashing of black leaders.

A CBS or ABC affiliate would never run garbage like this.

The vast majority of Fox News viewers are racist and saying "i have a lot of black friends" does not mean you cant be a bigot.
