Fox News Racism: Intentional?
Over the past few weeks, Fox News has made racially insensitive insinuations about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, referring to his wife as his "baby mama" and calling a greeting the couple exchanged a "terrorist fist jab." What other similar incidents have occurred on Fox News?
+ Estimated the amount of time Obama has spent on front porches during the course of his life
+ Repeatedly called Obama by one of his middle names, "Hussein," while omitting the other, "Christopher Horowitz"
+ Have used 78 percent more sports terminology in describing Obama's campaign than McCain's
+ Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy involuntarily shrieked when a graphic of Obama flashed behind his shoulder
+ Noted that Obama looks like the Fox News team's "one friend"
+ Whenever he is shown exiting a limousine, journalists mention that his Escalade must be in the shop
+ Scored footage of Obama visiting a Russian mobile launch missile dismantling facility with the theme from Shaft
+ Generally biased news reporting

I admit this would be much funnier were it not for the fact I could imagine FOX News doing any or all of these things.
