Fox News Should be Sued for Reporting on Michelle Obama "Whitey" Rumour Without a Shred of Evidence
This whole Michelle Obama saying "Whitey" rumor all started as a blog post with the claim of a video tape of her saying it, yet no video tape or any tangible proof has been found. Fox news keeps repeating this rumor for millions to see based on a blog post!

1. Obama should run on a platform of revoking Fox News' FCC license when he's elected.
I'm kidding.

Sort of.

Except for the TV stations they own, and they are pretty remote from FOX News.

Actually, my local FOX-owned station does a fairly decent newscast.

2. Fox news is a shameless propaganda outfit
The only thing we should do with Fox news is dismantle their corporate headquarters, brick by brick, and send Murdoch into exile permanently. He can poison some other county's airwaves.

And he can take Roger Ailes with him.

4. Obama should use Fox News to his favor.
Go sit down with O'Reilly, make him look stupid, and make your case on their station as many times as you can.

6. The problem is that a lawsuit would bring more attention to the controversy
Most people don't know about this issue, and I suspect that the Obama campaign would prefer to let it die.
