TYT: Liz Trotta on Fox News says Black Anchors on Trayvon Martin a Bad Idea



Black anchors covering the Trayvon Martin shooting and sharing their personal stories of profiling and racism "can only hurt their credibility" according to Fox News contributor Liz Trotta. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur break down this absurd commentary on The Young Turks.

Does Mz Thang listen to herself talk. I don't think she does or she would be puking. Really, reporters shouldn't support a story with personal experience? This is effed up. I am in taking a class in public speaking and in my next speech we are required to bring in our personal opinions. I know not the same thing. But, it just goes to show that sometimes personal experience does back up a premise.

Remember, she called for the assassination of the Obama in 2008 and in 2011 said that women in the military should expect to get raped. Both times on Fox News.

Objectivity like when the MSM reports that the polar ice caps are melting, but also points out that some people believe this is because there are too many gay people is California? It wouldn't be objective if you didn't give equal time to the assertion (from someone on Stormfront) that Trayvon Martin was in fact a member of the Black Panthers who was kicked out for being too radical, and on that night was actually cruising the neighborhood looking for adolescent white girls to rape, would it?

If Hilary or Barack say "save baby kittens", Faux News HAS TO say "drown them".

Say you're a sixty-two year old white male with below average - well below average - cognitive abilities. You hate African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Asians, Jews, liberals, books, Native Americans, atheists and women. You consider yourself a REAL patriot who knows most Americans should suffer for being lazy and shiftless, that we are a Christian nation and that God wants us to use the land we have for whatever we want. You know Europe is damn near communist, that we are number one in everything and Christians are more discriminated against than any other group. You know that everything was fine until Obama crashed the economy and raised our taxes so high it cost the country its jobs. You are sure scientists made up this global warming thing a few years ago to get more money. And you know far more than any liberal college professor that talks about equality. But speaks for you?

Liz Trotta, that's who!

Now, how can you not give her, her due?
