Are you kidding me?
6/12/2008 04:55:00 PM Fox News calls Michelle Obama, "Obama's Baby Mama" ![]() As if I couldn't loathe Fox News even more. I get that they thought they were being clever and playing off Obama's last name...I mean, hey, plenty of people have been creative over wordplay throughout his campaign. However, I think it's still a bit sexist and racist. Not only is it belittling their relationship as a married committed couple (not the average stereotype for individuals describing their only attachment to someone as their 'baby mama'...instead of their ex-girlfried, or a random hookup, etc.) but its also a comment you know they wouldn't make about Bush or McCain's wives--mainly because they're white, so that description wouldn't even cross the reporter's mind. |
