Fox & Friends Are de facto McCain Campaign Operatives
Dr. Sherman N. Miller
As I watched Fox & Friends this
morning (October 1, 2008) you all are attempting to poison the
television air ways against Gwen Ifill’s ability to moderate the Vice
Presidential debate by defrocking her before the nation just before the
debate. You appear worried that Ifill will come up with questions that
may highlight Governor Sarah Palin’s inadequacies. Thus, I found myself
trying to understand whether you were mocking “fair and balance” or
exploiting euphemisms to race bait against a black moderator. I
concluded that you are exploiting race baiting by making a case against
a book that will not come out until after the General Election to vilify
Ifill to pique white racism against Senator Obama. As a book publisher,
I would expect drafts of the book to find its way into the hands of
people who would be expected to comment on it contents before a final
draft is agreed upon. Hence, it is disingenuous for Fox & Friends to
even hint at being fair and balance when it is clear that you are de
facto operatives of the McCain campaign.
