Dozens Protest Outside Fox News Headquarters
What brings out MTV News, AllHipHop.com, Access Hollywood, The Colbert Report and, well, us? A Nas-led protest outside News Corp. today, home of Fox News Channel.
The hip-hop star (left) joined about 50 protesters, (less than another anti-FNC protest in 2004) from two organizations: ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org who called on the network to, “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.”
Sounds like we’re in for a really interesting show tonight!

It’s going to be an interesting show tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing how it is handled on TCR. I wonder what papa bear has to say about all of this.

It’s a bit unsettling sometimes isn’t it?
