Fox News Obama-rama
Submitted by ellen on Fri, 07/11/2008 - 9:42pm
Fox News has earned a place in Beyond Satire's Hall of Fame with its coverage of Barack and Michelle Obama, including:
- Displaying a graphic referring to Michelle Obama as "Obama's baby mama". (For those of you who don't know the term, it indicates a lower-class unwed mother.)
- Calling the couple's fist bump a "terrorist fist jab".
- Fox pundit laughingly wishing for Obama's assassination (after mixing his name up with Osama).
See also the below compilation video from Fox Attacks.
The July 9 Onion has an Infographic entitled "Fox News Racism: Intentional?", listing satirical incidents, such as:
- 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"
- Scored footage of Obama visiting a Russian mobile launch missile dismantling facility with the theme from Shaft
- Generally biased news reporting
Even The Onion seems to have realized that Fox News is beyond satire.

Fox Attacks Michelle Obama
I think this is outrageous and Fox News has been unfairly attacking Obama...We need to force Fox to change their bias reporting. I have a campaign that demands the immediate stopping of these attacks: https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/taking-on-foxs-racist-attacks-on-michelle-obama-one-sponsor-at-a-time-first-up-dell-computers
