NEW YORK (AP) — Hip-hop artist Nas is protesting Fox News's coverage of Barack Obama.

The rapper joined members of the activist groups MoveOn.org and ColorofChange.org to deliver more than 600,000 petitions Wednesday to the network's New York City headquarters.



Nas, whose new album Untitled was released last week, said in a statement that "Fox poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news."...

...Earlier, two other Fox personalities apologized for referring to an affectionate onstage fist bump shared by the couple as a "terrorist fist jab" and, in another case, for joking about an Obama assassination.

Nas' new song, Sly Fox, takes direct aim at Fox. "Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins ... I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth, not the biased truth, not the liar's truth," the song says.

2. I'd made a post in GD about the great social commentary in Nas' new album a few days ago

Glad to see this talented artist is getting attention for his efforts.

5. Good for him.

:bounce: I heard the new CD is really good. I need to pick up a copy of it.

Take action.

Instead of complaining about the M$M, take action. It works! :)

Good job, Nas, and the others involved in that protest.
