Eric Bolling, host of the Fox Business Network show "Follow the Money," apologized to viewers on Monday for using racist language during a segment that aired last week.
"We got a little fast and loose with the language," Bolling said, "and we know it's being interpreted as disrespectful, and for that I'm sorry."
In a segment that aired on Friday, Bolling referred to the White House as the "Hizzouse" and "Hizzy," and President Obama's guests--including Gabon President Ali Bongo--as "hoods."
The takeaway from this is don't say that **** unless you've got your black card.
It is important that everyone pay very closely look at the words and how they are use in this non-Apology, Apology.
The way it is worded Bolling is Apologizing the way it was interpreted as disrespectful, not for what he said. Read his statement again and you will see what I mean.
What a *****! He didn't say anything to apologize for.
Wow. He didnt say anything that was wrong? If thats what you really think, the weight of your input in ANY thread has gone down significantly. Please stay out of the voting booth.
That's exactly what I think. For a Libertarian, you sure do oppose freedom of thought.
Whatever man. I oppose ignorance and poor judgement.
The same ignorance that see's racism in every comment one doesn't like. I couldn't agree more.
I actually think there is humor in this BUT, its not repectful at all. Not for a US President.

Well Fox News is a professional news organization. A group of journalists that cover and convey a story with no bias. So it is unprofe....... oh wait. youre RIGHT! Fox News is highly biased and basically just mentions bit of news along with their opinion. So he should NOT have appologized! My bad!
Here is what President Reagan said when the President of Gabon father visited the White House. Would Bolling have made the same comments?I actually think there is humor in this BUT, its not repectful at all. Not for a US President.

I was in and out of the News, Reporting and Radio Business for a very long time, and as i see it Fox News come closest to living up yo their motto of being fair and balanced, because they report on Republicans that are involved in wrong doing as much as they cover Democrats.
The rest of the media can't say that because doe example they never cover Obama's lies, and he's been caught in over 150 so far. Some also had limited coverage of the Weiner debacle
