Fox News Is At It Again - Hoping to Fool Voters On Jefferson Indictment

Fox News Smears John Conyers, an influential member of Congress with 40+ years of service, AND the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Fox Faux News has a long history of doing this kind of slick marketing to confuse voters about what is going on. Last year they labelled scandal-ridden Mark Foley as a Democrat.... when he was a Republican.

They have made a sport out of smearing Black politicians and Black Americans in general. And the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) wants to validate Faux as being a legitimate news organization by hosting debates on the network? The CBC should be ashamed.

In this latest episode.... Faux talks about the indictment of Congressman William Jefferson, while showing footage of Conyers as a backdrop.... creating an image that could easily confuse uninformed viewers, which I think is their likely intent. Faux has been involved in too many of these situations for me to say that these events are simply accidents.

Perhaps all African Americans look the same to Faux.

This is yet another instance of the White Citizens Council Network attack on Black people.

Did anyone email the CBC with the Youtube address of this attack by their bestest buddies?
