Must not refer to Obama's black friends

We read:
"A Fox News website is being called out over possible racial overtones in an article about President Obama's White House birthday celebration. The article, posted on TheFoxNation.com and titled 'Obama's Hip-Hop BBQ Didn't Create Jobs,' drew hundreds of comments.

Most were from users who found the article inaccurate, racist or both. Splashed below the headline were photos of former NBA star Charles Barkley, President Obama, comedian Chris Rock and rapper Jay-Z.

Not pictured were any of the celebration’s white partygoers, like actor Tom Hanks, former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel or Hillary Clinton.

When contacted by The New York Times, a spokeswoman for Fox News would not say whether the article went along with the site’s standards. Bill Shine, the executive vice president for programming, said the 'hip hop BBQ' reference was taken from Politico.com story that mentioned Mr Obama’s guests dancing to ‘hip hop songs’ in the East Room.

Just Leftists looking for the tiniest thing to criticize

I'm sure once the NY Slimes heard the story/phrase originated at Politico, a left-wing blog, they re-thought their position. That's not to say they will give-up their ongoing attacks on Fox.

Remember one of the left's basic principles, always blame others for what you yourself say and do...
