http://unjournalism.blogspot.com/ ================ Wednesday, September 06, 2006 Racist cop Mark Fuhrman a Fox News commentator? ____________ I'm a cable news addict, but I'm quickly starting to break that nasty habit. I've been disillusioned by a couple of recent examples of some serious UnJournalism. First, as I mentioned a while back, on the same day, MSNBC recently used as "experts" an editor from the National Enquirer and shamed media personality Armstrong Williams. Now, today I see for the first time (although I gather that it happens regularly!) that Fox News - Sean Hannity, specifically - is using racist cop Mark Fuhrman as a commentator. Maybe Mark Fuhrman isn't a racist for real, but many (most?) people think so after the O.J. Simpson trial. Seriously, read his Wikipedia entry. At the very least, anything that comes out of his mouth has to be questionable, doesn't it? Also, it's important to note that Sean Hannity is crazy (one example), so his choice in "trusted sources" is probably warped as shit. But what the hell, man? Apparently if people have simply heard of you, you'll make a better commentator than someone who, you know, knows stuff. What's next? Wolf Blitzer interviewing Linda Tripp for a story on data privacy? (By the way, I have no real reason for picking on CNN right now - because I never watch CNN. It's boring. Maybe that's the trade-off: boring or...Mark Fuhrman's crazy ass.) _____________ Technorati Tags: Fox News UnJournalism Mark Fuhrman Sean Hannity racist crazy Digg this del.icio.us __________ posted by Mike at 9:04 PM 0 comments links to this post
