Fox News' Steven Crowder pens one of the most transphobic articles we've read in a long time on MMA fighter Fallen Fox
Let me paint you a picture: your daughter is playing a contact sport. Say, football or hockey. She’s gone from being your little girl to becoming a beautiful young woman. Opposite her on the field (or ice), is somebody who once was a man, until he decided that he didn’t feel like being one anymore.
This person can now legally, physically attack your daughter.
This makes liberals rejoice. How progressive.
GLAAD To Fox News: If You Want To Attend Our Events, Stop Attacking LGBT People
GLAAD hosted its annual media awards - meant to honor the media for outstanding representations of the LGBT community - in New York City on March 16. According to pictures from the event, at least two Fox News personalities were in attendance - The Five’s Kimberly Guilfoyle and America’s News HQ’s Jamie Colby:
In response, GLAAD Vice President of Communications Rich Ferraro issued the following statement to Equality Matters:
If Kimberly and Jamie expect to attend future GLAAD events, they will first need to sit down with us to discuss Fox News’ embarrassing, biased and misinformed coverage of LGBT issues. The invitation is open. Fox News’s track record on LGBT issues is abysmal, and it makes no sense to me why any LGBT people or allies would want to be a part of that.
Edit: Apparently this statement came after GLAAD’s director of creative development urged Fox News to attend the event. Awkward.
"I think it was the smartest thing George Bush did. He restored confidence in America."
The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Contributor Steven Crowder Was Acting in Self-Defense, Will Not Be Prosecuted
Remember when conservative comedian and Fox News contributor Steven Crowder was punched in the face by a union activist outside a Michigan protest? Crowder made a big deal about it, even going so far as to challenge the protester to a “legal, sanctioned mixed martial arts bout.” Then came the unsurprising revelation that the video was misleadingly editedto make Crowder look like an innocent, if obnoxious, victim.
That heavily edited video, which Fox News themselves released, is the reason why, on Monday, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III announced he will not press charges against the protester, who Dunnings said was trying to defend himself.
Fox edited video footage to fit an anti-union agenda? Unheard of.
"Referring to white people as ‘gringos’ — is that appropriate? What if these texts referred to black people as the ‘N-word?"
Fox News Runs Name Of Steubenville Rape Victim
In an act of serious journalistic negligence, Fox News this morning ran tape of the Steubenville rape trial in which one of the rapists named the victim.
Typically in sexual assault cases, the major news media’s policy is not to name a victim. This is doubly true in the Steubenville case, where the victim is also a minor. But Fox News, in what seems to be an editing mistake, ran a clip from the court room where Mays said the victim’s name.
In an earlier piece on Fox’s news website, the organization did manage to censor out the names of the two rapists, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond. Their names, however, have been published by news outlets because the boys’ lawyers have openly identified them in court. The victim’s has not, until this point.
OH.
Edit: Today, Fox News was criticized for accidentally revealing the first name of the victim in the trial when showing a clip from the courtroom. It is worth noting however that MSNBC (at 12 PM Sunday), CNN (at 11:48 AM Sunday) and at least one local CBS affiliate also aired the same footage revealing the victim’s name. In all the cases it was clearly accidental, as the outlets have a policy of not revealing the names of victims.
