As a black person, who was a young man in 1964 with a full appreciation for the need of the Civil Rights Act, I find it is appalling to think that Fox News John Stossel would argue for a return of yesteryear’s racial segregation in America’s economic mainstream. Stossel came across like he should have been in the infamous Klan propaganda film The Birth of a Nation by D. W. Griffith rescuing white America from the onslaught of nonwhites who rapidly are becoming the United States of America's majority population.  

Stossel surely knew that his anti-civil rights stance would create sufficient media churn that might make him a new star with Fox News’ ultra rightwing anti-President Barack Obama television rating whores of Sean Hannity and Glen Beck. Since Stossel is willing to defrock over 50 million people for his Fox racist stardom perhaps, we need to examine the letters in Fox News to see what may be a better fit than “Fair and Balanced.”

Since we know wars are fought based on deception, this suggests that Fox News may have a marketing strategy to appeal to “working class whites” for high rating numbers whilst shielding the identity of their well-off audience from public scrutiny.  It would be a paparazzi media frenzy to learn that some high statured Caucasian American family members were really closet racists. Thus, we need to raise the Fox News modus operandi debate to the fifty cent word level.  

If we view Fox News as an acronym, the letters fit words suggestive of their ultra rightwing disdain for African American Presidential leadership.

Fox News may want to elevate more token nonwhites that they can use as media boy toys or wenches to contend that they are indeed fair and balanced.  Perhaps, the real Fox News problem is they are using the antonyms for fair (prejudiced) and balanced (contrariness) when they consider covering any story that might show President Obama in a positive light.

You must give Fox News credit for kindling the mainstream evolution away from hard news that was yesteryear’s journalistic standard to caustic talking heads who have become the de facto leadership of the Republican Party.  The Fox News strategic direction is not new. President Thomas Jefferson spoke in 1791 on what happens when the news media chases advertisements and forgets about the news.

 Has Fox News destroyed hard news chasing ratings with talking heads and ignoring just the facts?
