Fox News Explains "Magic Negro" Ticker Text
During the three-hour UParty 2009 New Year's Eve special, Fox News asked viewers to send in text messages which aired in the ticker. Among the tens of thousands of submissions, this one got on the air...Happy New Year and let's hope the magic negro does a good job. Love, Jen and John C.
Fox explains that the message was "inadvertently cleared for air" and that they "recognize [their] error." Call me a cynic if you'd like, but it for some reason I'm not surprised that Fox was that one that let this slip past their screening.
