SHAME: Fox hosts jokes that Ray Rice's abused girlfriend should 'learn to take the stairs'

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/08/fox-hosts-giggle-that-nfl-players-abused-girlfriend-should-learn-to-take-the-stairs

After TMZ released a leaked surveillance video that showed what happened when Rice knocked out the woman inside the elevator, the Fox News hosts asked viewers if a two-game suspension had been appropriate.

“We should also point out, after that video — and now you know what happened in there — she still married him,” host Steve Doocy explained. “They are currently married.”

“Rihanna went back to Chris Brown right after [he assaulted her],” co-host Brian Kilmeade noted. “A lot of people thought that was a terrible message.”

“I think the message is take the stairs,” he added, as co-host Anna Kooiman giggled.


I know it's FOX and all, but still...have they no shame whatsoever? Must they ALWAYS find a way to put themselves on the wrong side of everything?

"how dare you!" "I did not think you could crawl any lower here at Fox, but you did."

And, you can rest assured not ONE of Fox's contributors, male or female said after nothing was done about this misogynist butt-head after such an evil comment: "As of today, I quit. I'm sick and tired of Fox's sexist, racist, anti-woman culture. Good bye."

Not one...
