Fox News Yanks Two Facebook Posts Following Death Threats | Hollywood Reporter

reallyfoxnews:

The post regarding Blair Scott, communications director for American Atheists, received “more than 200 comments that the network identified as threatening; they included multiple death threats aimed at Scott. As a result, Fox News later decided to delete the post…”

The second incident involved Fox News’ Fox Nation website, which on Friday was forced to close comments on a post about President Obama that referred to his 50th birthday as a “Hip-Hop BBQ.” The post spurred a slew of comments that the network deemed racist.

Fox News removed comments from their article about Barack Obama’s “Hip-Hop BBQ” because they said that they were racist in nature. Hip-hop BBQ. HIP-HOP BBQ.
