FOX News Confronted by Hip-Hop Activists

By Eddie Griffin

Thursday, July 24, 2008

It’s on, baby. It was just a matter of time before FOX News got on our last black nerve. Hip-Hop rap artist Nas took it to FOX on the straight up… 620,000 petitions from ColorOfChange, the powerful online blogger syndicate of activists.



In a June 23, 2008 editorial on my BASG blog, I wrote:

We Do Not Accept FOX Channel’s apology, but rather demand the release of certain news commentators.

PLEASE COMPILE LIST of FOX news personalities that MUST GO.

FOX commentators like Bill O’Reilly of The O'Reilly Factor and Sean Hannity of Hannity & Colmes are parties of the “Axis of Ignorance”, as described by Dr. Boyce Watkins, and have together been instrumental in racist degrading insults against African-Americans. Black bloggers, allied with Color of Change, have published column upon columns of criticism related to these television personalities. The resent insult against the Obama family is the straw that broke the camels back.
