an email I received from someone who works for FAUX
You know I am working for Fox online right now. I am listening to a news director telling the online producers that they should have promoted what she calls a "gotcha" line from and incident that occured at a Clinton rally. Apparently some protesters were taken out of one of her events because they were shouting "iron my shirt" at her. This FEMALE news director said that the stations missed a "Taz Me Bro" moment that they should have promoted by placing in the headlines "Iron My Shirt."

Should we also promote online when people call Obama "nigger," Guiliani "wop," or Romney "polygamist?"


Just thought I'd share.

2. Its not news....its entertainment for the masses
and possibly distraction from whatever current obscenity is being propagated by our government

5. I believe the "should we..." was editorialized by the emailer.
I don't think the FAUX higher ups would let that line slip.

7. The AP reported on it
It happened and yet I don't think any of the news channels reported it.
