Monday morning on Fox News' "Happening Now," after US Olympic softball team star Jennie Finch made an appearance to discuss the upcoming Olympic Games, co-anchor Jane Skinner made a remark you could only expect on Fox News:

"How cute is she?," Skinner asked, to which her co-host Jon Scott responded, "Very." Skinner then continued, "A great representative: blond, blue-eyed, and extremely talented."

Blonde, blue-eyed. In other words, Aryan. No surprise FOX is hard over someone who appears Aryan.

[Kim445588]

Why are we surprised when Faux News commentators say this kind of stuff? They have made it painfully clear that this is simply what they really think.

[PAposter]

WOW! One step forward, three steps back.....a sad state of affairs, indeed.

[Counterglow]

Did anybody tell Skinner her white sheet and pointy hat are ready for pick-up from the cleaner's?

[ultramagnetic]

Looks like somebody was channelling her inner Übermench. I was waiting for her to say that "She'll make good strong babies for der Vaterland.

It's now The Homeland, you may have noticed.

Fox has no shortage of airheaded blondes to anchor the news. No brain! Nice boobs! you have a future at Fox News.

To get a gig at fox a girl has to clasp her hands behind her head and point her elbows forward. She then walks toward a wall. If her elbows touch the wall before her boobs, she doesn't get the job.

The Ruling Class will always divide the peasant class along race/ethnic, religious, and gender lines...but will most studiously avoid discussing the inequality in the distribution of wealth.
Politics is who gets what, and when.

[PJinAK]

wow, sounds like Fox News has become a member of Aryan Nations "great representative" indeed!!!

[bazokbros]

Her comment goes to the heart of what people project as American, apple pie, baseball, blond, blue eyed wholesome appearing young women.

There never will be a transcendence of race in America.

[frl]

wow. cuz only blue eyed blondes are great representatives of our country.

[mckinley]

So, she made reference to an attractive person's appearance.

If it were an interview with, say, Kristy Yamaguchi, and she had commented on her great smile, would that be offensive to people with bad teeth? Or how tall LeBron James is, would that be offensive to shorter people?

[pfc1369]

No.

But do you think she would say, in 100 years, "Wow! Kristy Yamaguchi.­..black-ha­ired--brow­n eyes!"?

[alamacTHC]

Yeah Faux News gives new meaning to the phrase "Dumb Blonde"

[Angus703]

To be fair to that "reporter", she was pretty cute. I think there was however a Fruedian slip that implied her personal ideas about beauty.

[totalliberal]

Is she amazed that a white person with blonde hair and blue eyes got to play in the Olympics. Doesn't think much of her own race does she?

[jonjon66]

blonde & blue eyes, what a perfect representative of Faux News.
