The last two days TomP has done a terrific job highlighting Fox News' disgusting behavior towards the children appearing in a Rebuild the Dream video. Here and here.
We all know that Fox has crossed the line time and time again. Regardless, I never thought I would see the day when Fox would call kids names and bullying them on national television.
One of the kids responded with a terrific youtube video of her own:
She frames the debate correctly by highlighting the national epidemic of bullying in schools. We don't need it on a major "news" channel as well.
Let's show her and the other children in the video we have their backs. Sign the petition demanding Fox News apologize for his reprehensible attacks.
“Last week Fox News criticized and called the children of the Rebuild the Dream video vicious names. We are asking for Fox News to issue an apology to each child and to have each panelist issue their own on air apology.
It is fine if Fox News wants to critique the message but it is not okay for it to attack the children in the video by calling them dorks and little bastards. Please issue an apology immediately.”
Fox may never apologize but it doesn't mean this is all for naught. It shows the kids we stand with them. We are proud of them and will not let these verbal assaults go unanswered.
Please sign the petition and spread it to others. Let's show Fox what we are made of!
