World News Korner

Here is Megyn Kelly last night whitewashing, if you will excuse the pun, her ridiculous remarks about Santa and Jesus being Caucasian.

"In kicking off the lighthearted segment I offered a tongue in cheek message for any kids watching, saying that Santa, who I joked is a real person whose race is identifiable, is white.."

"Lighthearted?"

"Tongue in cheek?"

"Joked?"

Here is the originally broadcast exchange from Wednesday. Does any of THAT seem "lighthearted" or "tongue in cheek" to any of you?

But wait, there's more.

"Well this would be funny if it were not so telling about our society, In particular the knee jerk instinct by so many to race bait, and to assume the worst in people. Especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News channel."

And then there's this:

"By the way I also did say that Jesus was white. As I have learned in the past two days, that is far from settled. (Actually it IS settled. Scholars agree that, if he did indeed live, he was most certainly NOT white!) For me the fact that an off hand jest I made during a segment about whether Santa should be replaced by a penguin, has now become a national firestorm, says two things. Race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country. (Which those who don't watch Fox News, and keep hearing that racism is over, would already know.) And Fox News, and yours truly, are big targets for many people."

Yes Fox News is a BIG target for many people, because they were the catalyst for the dumbing down of journalism, and remain a place brimming over with bottomless troughs of misinformation, partisan attacks on their political enemies, and bloviating morons who speak authoritatively about subjects that they clearly do not understand.

You know, like the ethnicity of certain religious and historic figures.

Face it "Little Miss I Can't Spell Meghan," you said something incredibly stupid and you got mocked for it.

You work at Fox News, you were hired to say ignorant and factually wrong things. Surely that is written into your contract somewhere!

You have just been given a little leeway by the media because you're pretty, and compared to the usual knuckle dragging morons you seemed relatively reasonable.

Relatively.

However now that America realizes that they gave you too much credit, you can expect more mocking in the future.

On the plus side now you have something to commiserate with Sarah Palin over.
