- bwthor, on 01/02/2009, -0/+21For all those that think it was Photoshopped, check out the Youtube link.

- Sublex, on 01/01/2009, -2/+11Maybe they were commenting on this: http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-oe-rutten3 ...
- jmewhite1, on 01/02/2009, -1/+9yes its real, The fox ticker was commenting on a song to the tune of puff the magic dragon. that was offensive towards our president elect. photo was taken at an opportune moment. dont know why im defending fox here but it was real just out of context.
- d2002, on 01/01/2009, -8/+14Stay classy Fox!
- Tangaroa, on 01/02/2009, -0/+4The issue is not the word as much as the tone in which it is used.
- Panzwhore, on 01/01/2009, -1/+5Probably just a picture of an out of context news ticker feed commenting on the RNC "Magic Negro" CD.
or Fox News is just being brash... probably the former.. - smotpoker, on 01/02/2009, -0/+4United Negro College Fund
- mayhemt, on 01/01/2009, -2/+5Duh, its Fox news, what do you expect from people who WATCH Fox News?
- FoxtrotYankee, on 01/02/2009, -4/+7The photo (and criticism) lacks context.
This was from their New Year's Eve broadcast and they invited people to SMS their own New Year's messages to appear on the ticker during the show. So, this was a viewer-submitted comment that made it on the air.
No doubt that they dropped the ball in reviewing the messages and rejecting the dumbassery before it made it on the air. But it's not what the photo and submitter makes it seem.
Seriously...there are an awful lot of legitimate criticisms of Fox News. The critics lose credibility when they go after out-of-context stuff like this. - tehpwnerofn00bs, on 01/01/2009, -4/+7Well, somebody's losing his job in the morning....
- iceman0113, on 01/02/2009, -1/+3Opportune moment? it's on DVR, the thing is paused.
- Billions, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Nah man, I can't keep thinking Fox somehow, once again, 'dropped the ball' on yet another liberal topic, like they often seem to do. We don't see as many cases of conservative topics getting mangled or taken out of context in any sort of negative way.
They know what they're doing. No critics are losing credibility, certainly when placed next to Fox News.
Anyway, I hope things do get magical. Deal with it, Fox and Fox viewers - it could benefit you, too. - Qazzy, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2Yes it is ***** real, it is my picture that this ***** stole from me. Go to reddit you will see it.
- jmewhite1, on 01/01/2009, -3/+5They were talking about an offensive song towards obama played off on puff the magic dragon tune. I hate fox news but lets not take things out of context here
- georgemason01, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2even with context i don't see how you can defend fox. it was an e-mail comment sent in by a viewer (which someone at fox consciously chose was worth displaying), not a news ticker item about the song.
- GregFD3S, on 01/02/2009, -0/+2I would have never noticed that.
Mostly because I never watch Fox News. - Billions, on 01/01/2009, -2/+3Crazy... Maybe that's what the DVR control overlay is there for - to convince us this was a broadcast. But obviously you could get clever in Photoshop and add that too. I don't know, I need more info.
- Chooxo, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1Well you certainly wouldn't expect them to hope he does a bad job, would you?
- TheAttacks, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1What the hell?! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
bwthor posted the YouTube link, and it seems it wasn't really Fox News, but a message they showed from a couple of watchers. - 0insane1, on 01/02/2009, -3/+4happy new year to all my magic niggaz
- absentmindedjwc, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1you know... the word gullible isn't on wikipedia.... no really.. it isnt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullible
- TheAttacks, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1Thanks for the link, that cleared some things up.
- thedsack, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1I never thought Fox News could sink this low... Oh yeah, I did!
- wontstoptalking, on 01/02/2009, -0/+1How does this thing happen so often (same night as Cathy's little slip!) and I NEVER see it for myself?
- Sil369, on 01/02/2009, -1/+2someone call the FCC!!
- jmewhite1, on 01/02/2009, -3/+3your wrong
- ryan83189, on 01/02/2009, -1/+1Probably just people's emails for new year's greetings. Somebody had the bright idea of sending this in, either as a prank or parody and the censor failed or was not there. Since the term "Magic negro" was in the news recently because of the song, and is not really as offensive a lot of things they could have come up with I am guessing it is parody and not actually how someone thinks. It is also not actually correct since a this is what a magic negro is:

Somebody ***** up letting that in though, they are either out of a job or are going to work next new year's eve. - BaseballGuyCAA, on 01/02/2009, -1/+1Wow, that would actually make... sense!
Context is everything. - Qazzy, on 01/02/2009, -1/+0I hate it when you ***** steal my stuff.

- inactive, on 01/02/2009, -6/+2Quick, let's sue the United College Negro Fund.
- Awspire, on 01/02/2009, -5/+1Digg.com - Your local source for disinformation.
- sgtbutterscotch, on 01/01/2009, -6/+2It could also be a quote from that stupid song or from someone talking about it. I'm going to have to bury this for being an easily photoshoppable image, even if it's not, that the submitter is trying to pass off as real.
- inactive, on 01/02/2009, -6/+1It's not real. Anyone could easily photoshop those words on.
- chronically420, on 01/01/2009, -9/+3what the ***** >:\
