Nas to deliver 600,000 signature petition protesting Fox News’s attacks on African-Americans.»

At 2 PM tomorrow, rap star Nas will deliver a petition — organized by Color of Change and Move On.org and signed by 600,000 people — to Fox News’s Manhattan headquarters, calling on the network to “stop its racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.” Nas also takes the network to task in a new song, “Sly Fox,” which includes the lyrics, “I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth/Not the biased truth/Not the liar’s truth/But the highest truth.”

Last year, Brave New Films released a video exposing Fox’s attacks on black America. Watch it at link~

[babylonsister]

6. Me, too. Wish I had known about it. nt

[MadMaddie]

3. Good, if not fo rthe racism, the bigotry against gays, liberals

and anything that is not Republcian FAUX news would not exist.

[babylonsister]

9. Yep. And this action is trying to stem that tide. nt

[ColbertWatcher]

4. Wow. He's scheduled to be on Colbert tomorrow. n/t

[babylonsister]

5. Whoa! Colbert is on top of the news! nt

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Of course he is. He feels the news for The Heroes. n/t

[NightWatcher]

7. and the head of Fox News will snicker and throw it away and get back to work

do you really think he'll be moved to change?

[babylonsister]

8. I'm glad an effort was made. And that I've read it, anywhere. nt

[crikkett]

23. If not by the petition, he'll be moved to change when we boycott the advertisers.

or when the fairness doctrine is back in place.

11. Nas is going to go all "ether" on murdoch's propaganda machine

[babylonsister]

12. What does 'all ether' mean? nt

[crikkett]

24. maybe it means take the battle to cyberspace, or

maybe it's a nice gentle knockout - ether was a popular anesthetic

[babylonsister]

13. No Nas fans here? I have no idea who he is. Is this 'bad'? nt

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. He's a rapper.

Also, his first album, "Illmatic," is a classic.

[babylonsister]

16. I know he's a rapper, but didn't know about the 'classic', so thanks! nt

[no limit]

21. He stirred up a lot of controversy over his latest album

but he's a great rapper, very political. "I can" is a good song to hear if you aren't familiar with him:
