Fox Hosts Mock Black Reporter's Tears During Obama Win »
Posted By Neophile 1 year ago in Political News
Late night Fox News host Greg Gutfeld makes a living off controversy. But this is low, even for him. On Tuesday night, Gutfeld talked with correspondent Bill Schulz as the two mocked a video clip of a black ABC reporter breaking into tears as Obama's election to the presidency was announced.
"I grew up in a neighborhood that was mostly black," said ABC's Steve Osunsami. "And my father used to tell us that there's no way this country would elect a black president. Well, this evening, the country has proved my old man wrong, and we're the better for it." Several times, the reporter's voice wavered, as he was obviously emotionally moved by the news.
"I so wanna comfort him, right now," sneered Gutfeld. "Bill, you were convinced he was faking it."
"I am, and I have to say, if that's a television moment, I cry on this show every night!" responded Schulz. "Why don't we get better ratings?" The show's various cast members laughed throughout the exchange, which you can see in the video below.

A real empty-headed buffoon without any class, for sure!

I too shed tears for this historical moment. I have already read one too many posts on these threads from the neocons who hate Jesse Jackson; one moron claimed that his tears during Obama's speech were selfish and motivated by his own failures.
Only racists and hateful ideologues would question the sacredness of a person shedding tears especially in a moment of such magnitude. Shameful.
These are people who have lost something vital along the way - that special quality that makes us human and spiritually connected to others. Most of these people have long since lost the ability to shed a tear for anyone, including themselves. Much of their scorn and cynicism stem from jeolousy and self-pity for feeling on the outside. A sad lot.-

I dident see the rev. Jacksons tears. But how can anyone think they were real when this was the same man that wanted to cut Obamas balls off just a short time ago. How do you go from cutting a mans balls off to tears of joy? Bill Clinton was right. This is nothing but a fairy tail. Most of the people who voted for this man know nothing about him. Change? Yea, from freedom to socialism.

Yes, I thought the same thing when the media made a negative big deal about Hillary Clinton's emotional tears. People are touched by emotional moments, and even someone known for grandstanding like Jackson is a human being with human emotions. I think the tears were real.

I also understand that a satirist's job is to satirize, and so I don't take Red Eye seriously. -

I have read several posts on this site and had made a determination. It is not the REPS that are racist and harbor hate to people that are not white and are poor. It is the people that claim to DEMS. They believed that they are entitled and they believe that the federal government is responsible for raising are kids, providing our insurance, providing money to buy food. People need to take accountability for their actions, their income, their insurance, their kids, and their living environment.

It is easy to say that REPS are racist but not that easy to look at your own party to see that racist exist within the DEM party. Let’s take the easy way out and say that white people are racist but what about all the black's that are racist against white people. That is never brought out. I think we ALL have a little racist in us and if we all admit to it then CHANGE can happen.
I am proud to be a REP but I don't always agree with the actions that they take of the decisions that they make, but the government is not run by the president alone and people need to stop blaming the entire mess on the president.
Did the president make people buy more than they can afford by using credit cards, or signing the contract on a new home when using subprime loan. NO, I don't think the president held a gun to these people's head and said sign and spend or else.
The problem is that people want more then they can afford and don't think about what will happen later if they lose their job of a medical condition happens that they have no control over.
I don't hate DEMS, I just don't agree with their agenda. But reading the posts by DEMS seem to have hatred toward the REPS. I think we all need to stop hatred, but we are only human and that will never happen, let’s face reality.
The one thing that GWB did for this country is made it safer, whether you want to believe it or not. I think people need to think before responding to another post. I believe if people would think before the act in this country, things would not be as bad. People would have made the right choices when buying things on credit cards and when buying a house when the know that they cannot afford it because they got a loan with lower payments to start with and not thinking about what will happen when the payments go up. -

You are absolutely true about that. The "something for nothing" socialist crowd is in full tilt control now and the productive of this country will never be in power again. We are headed now on the same spiral as socialist Europe. The age of prosperity is well behind us. Actually saw a woman crying for joy that Obama was elected; when asked why she said because "now my electric bill will be paid"

how about as a reporter, the ABC "journalist" should have been out seeking stories from the 200,000 people around him instead of making HIMSELF the story?? Do you think that no one else gathered around him was overflowing w/ emotion? Was it only HIM that mattered? No, this has NOTHING to do w/ FOX and everything to do w/ the reporter being unprofessional. The story wasn't HIM -- it was Obama. And if he wanted people to share their emotions, he's supposed to conduct INTERVIEWS -- not make it about him. The poor professionalism goes to ABC. Not FOX. The Fox show is on at 3 AM! It's REAL news as much as The Daily Show is.

I think you need to crawl out from under that rock you live under.......Fake????? I WITNESSED THIS FIRST HAND!!! I hate FOX but just had to hear what all those "upstanding" reporters just had to say. They are just oh so in touch with reality that only now AFTER the election they are reporting on how Sarah Palin was a mistake. YA THINK!!! Just what all the rest of us said a long time ago. The Republicans have turned into cannabals.......don't blame her........blame the one who picked her!!!!! Thank God we didn't leave any REAL problems in his hands!!!!

Sorry, us Dems have more class than you right-wing haters. Notice how Obama did not incite hate......unlike Palin and McCain. It's because they had no good ideas or morals to run on......"let's just get all the redneck haters riled up"--that's their answer-- and that of their mentor the oversized Carl Rove. You should all just move up to Alaska and Sarah Palin can be your leader.

"The Republicans have been trashed by the media for the last eight years."
Reply
if this were true we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today. we wouldn't have two wars and a tanking economy. we wouldn't have had a 2nd term of bush. the media for 2/3s of the last 8 years gave bush applause, adulation and a get-out-jail-for-free card. and he's still holding onto that one.
no the media didn't trash the republicans. the media were complicit in republican crimes. the #1 accomplice has been Fox News

When will people realize that Fox News has nothing to do with news. It's right-wing, hatred-filled bile aimed at anyone who doesn't agree with their narrow viewpoints. People should boycott all Fox programming--including American Idol--to put a stop to this stupidity.

Sounds like you are quite familiar with stupidity, bile, and hatred yourself. Not surprising that you advocate boycotting "anyone who doesn't agree with ... narrow viewpoints." Like yours? If the new definition of 'coming together as a nation' means simply silencing the voices raised in disagreement or opposition, then we are facing a truly dark time in our history. You still have the right to express your views, as does everyone else. When you see the expression of opposing views beginning to be stifled, well, you had best begin to worry, for your own views may be next.

You picked a non-reporter reporter. Its his job to mock EVERYTHING ... so he does. That's what his show is all about ... to be totally outrageious and shock! The very fact that you picked this particular person to rant about FOX shows just where the bias really is.

Do you think you are doing the republicans any good to spew racial spitefull crap? Do you think you are garnering votes for the GOP?
The republicans are as the republican right winger Joe Scarbarogh said this morning...
"irrelevant".
Grow up or die, conservatives. As a nation, we are moving on, and you are stuck in Jim Crow. -
