All Black Panthers, All the Time

From Media Matters: Six Fox News shows have discussed the phony New Black Panthers scandal during a total of 95 segments since Megyn Kelly's June 30 interview hyping the unsubstantiated allegations of right-wing activist J. Christian Adams. In all, these Fox shows have devoted more than eight hours of airtime to discussing the New Black Panthers.
Dave Wiegel, guest-blogging at The Alantic's The Daily Dish sums it up:
This isn't journalism. No one cares what the NBPP thinks about anything. This is minstrelsy, with a fringe moron set up like a bowling pin for Hannity to knock down. And that's the role the NBPP plays on Fox, frequently.


As Fox pits black commentator against black commentator, with blonde Megyn Kelly in between, it's worth a look back at Jon Stewart's view of Ms. Kelly.
