Fox Attacks Michelle Obama

Fox Attacks Michelle Obama

Fox’s long history of racism is nothing new, but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their coverage of the Obamas.

You’re not going to believe what Fox is up to now—we could
hardly believe it ourselves.  Not only are they smearing Michelle
Obama with racist stereotypes, but then they offer a feeble apology that
they believe gives them the right to slander her again.  That’s
what happened when Fox called Michelle and Barack Obama’s fist bump
a "terrorist fist jab," apologized, and then less than a
week later referred to Michelle Obama as Barack’s
"Baby
Mama
."

Fox’s long history of racism is nothing new,
but it has been particularly egregious when it comes to their
coverage of the Obamas
.  Racism and fearmongering have no
place in our country or its politics, despite what Fox would have you
believe.  That’s why we put together this video, Fox
Attacks Michelle Obama
.

We cannot allow Fox’s
heinous smears and scare tactics to continue.  Sign our petition
and stop Fox from injecting racism, prejudice, and
fear into our political dialogue.  Then, send
it to all your
friends and family members for them to sign as well.  And spread it on sites
like Digg
to create an uproar.

We cannot allow Fox to
make politics about stereotypes, misinformation, and flat-out
dishonesty.  Not now.  Not ever.

Disobey authoritarians, support The Nation

Over the past year you’ve read Nation writers like Elie Mystal, Kaveh Akbar, John Nichols, Joan Walsh, Bryce Covert, Dave Zirin, Jeet Heer, Michael T. Klare, Katha Pollitt, Amy Littlefield, Gregg Gonsalves, and Sasha Abramsky take on the Trump family’s corruption, set the record straight about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s catastrophic Make America Healthy Again movement, survey the fallout and human cost of the DOGE wrecking ball, anticipate the Supreme Court’s dangerous antidemocratic rulings, and amplify successful tactics of resistance on the streets and in Congress.

We publish these stories because when members of our communities are being abducted, household debt is climbing, and AI data centers are causing water and electricity shortages, we have a duty as journalists to do all we can to inform the public.

In 2026, our aim is to do more than ever before—but we need your support to make that happen. 

Through December 31, a generous donor will match all donations up to $75,000. That means that your contribution will be doubled, dollar for dollar. If we hit the full match, we’ll be starting 2026 with $150,000 to invest in the stories that impact real people’s lives—the kinds of stories that billionaire-owned, corporate-backed outlets aren’t covering. 

With your support, our team will publish major stories that the president and his allies won’t want you to read. We’ll cover the emerging military-tech industrial complex and matters of war, peace, and surveillance, as well as the affordability crisis, hunger, housing, healthcare, the environment, attacks on reproductive rights, and much more. At the same time, we’ll imagine alternatives to Trumpian rule and uplift efforts to create a better world, here and now. 

While your gift has twice the impact, I’m asking you to support The Nation with a donation today. You’ll empower the journalists, editors, and fact-checkers best equipped to hold this authoritarian administration to account. 

I hope you won’t miss this moment—donate to The Nation today.

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel 

Editor and publisher, The Nation
