Fox News hypocrisy has hit the fan today. Suspending both Stacey Dash and Ralph Peters for daring to criticize Obama on the air. Stacey Dash was bleeped when saying Obama doesn’t give a shit about terrorism and Peters was suspended for saying Obama is a total pussy when it comes to terrorism. Both are true, and factual. Fox News is playing speech police by suspending Dash and Peters under the umbrella of politically correct speech.
Yet Fox News hasn’t always been so quick to pull the trigger on suspensions of those who use slang, or what same may consider crass language. Rich Lowry is a perfect example. Back in September, on the Megyn Kelly File, Rich Lowry proudly declared that Carly Fiorina cut Trump’s balls off because of a moment at the GOP debate that month. Megyn Kelly giggled and not a word of warning was issued. That’s cool, it”s called free speech. I didn’t have a big problem with them not suspending Lowry then.

The double standard that has become Fox News’ new trademark is now officially over the top. They hate Donald Trump so Rich Lowry saying cut Trump’s balls off is fine to Fox News. If you say Obama is a total pussy or Obama doesn’t give a shit, you get a two week suspension with talks of termination of the contracts.
This is the same Fox News that wouldn’t call the San Bernardino terrorists radical Islamists. They even claimed originally that the shooters where three ‘white’ males.
Fox News needs to be hurt where it counts, in the pocketbook. I think it’s time to start boycotting some of their advertisers.
