Fox News Anchor Jane Skinner On Jennie Finch, US Olympic Softball Player: "How Cute Is She? Great Representative: Blond, Blue Eyed"

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."

Now that's a racist remark!!!

[Lynnwood]

Why not just come out and credit Finch for looking "Very Aryan?"

[MacBoy]

I'm not sure what relevance that comment has. What does her appearance have to do with anything?

[Trittydi]

Well, Faux news is all about the stereotypes - because repiglics fit them so well.

This is the currency @ fox.

[teemunney]

OK, it was a dumb comment from Fox News. Do people get that easily offended by every stupid thing they say?

Get over it, people. I think she's hot--but I'm partial to softball players since I play baseball.

[openhand]

Exhibit B.

Where does that leave Murdoch's wife?

[egghumor]

Priceless comment! Thanks for the laughs!

[Destin]

Hehehe, but Murdoch's wife was a slam against non-Asian women. He married her for convenience and "intelligence" if you believe him. What's interesting, she's a Chinese national, but got an MBA through Yale somehow. Murdoch has been letting her expand MySpace into China. And Murdoch has been salivating at the chance to run China's press agencies. You know, over there, they have only 1 press agency, the state run media. Which is why Fox News is the way it is, his practice at showing that he can effectively create and oversee a government run/influenced news organization to spread propaganda, smears and be the govt's cheerleader.

If you think the only BILLIONS that China has was in it's population count, lol, you can't comprehend how many TRILLIONS in $$$$ all those people are worth.

Besides, she's Murdoch's third wife. He changes wives like he was changing his religion, which I can't mention what it is now without being called a german.

Not representative!!!

[dct1999]

Good one.

[sdskelton03]

It must just be horrible to go through life consistently assuming the worst in people and constantly in a state of offense.

Does saying she is a great representative and then mentioning hair and eye color really mean that all other hair and eye color combinations are not representative?

If something like this offended me, I would have to spend all day every day enraged. That is no way to live.

[Ides]

Translation: "A wonderful example of the genetic superiority of the Aryan race." I love Fox News.

[sdskelton03]

That isn't a "translation." That is you putting words into someone elses mouth.

[frl]

yes it is.

[kellygrrrl]

these people are so sick!

[Skippy3000]

Fox News derangement syndrome is in full effect.

Come on people, you are really reaching if you find that comment objectionable. We know you dying to be offended, but you can do better than this.

[kellygrrrl]

yes, because hair eye and skin color truly should be the measure of one's athletic ability and qualification to represent the nation

would anyone ever say this about a man?

what would you think if you were on that team and you were Latino or AA or Asian?

[sdskelton03]

If I were on that team I would probably think that Jenny if very pretty with blonde hair and blue eyes.

[lexnekst]

I guess it's still 1939 to these people...

[ObamAtomic]

A great representative,blond blue eyes,....if you are Latino , Asian,
White with black hair brown eyes,beauty for her,,,,,,, blond blue eyes.......
you are out luck ,according to Mrs (B) imbo on Fox

[Rescisco]

How dumb is this? How dumb do you have to be to work in television?

[kellygrrrl]

at Fox? very!

[rbspickles]

No kidding !

Gretchen Carlson was wondering aloud what to do about her insomnia this a.m. on Fox.

Could it possibly be your selling your soul Gretchen?

Lying all day 24/7 will have it's effects on you. No matter how much money you make.

Jane Skinner seems to be very comfortable at Fox. Not a trace of guilt in her game.

She's the female Sheppard Smith. Neither has a clue about politics or cares a whit either.

They just mouth the words and make sure to get their teeth whitened. And there you have it.

[american2008]

I am a white male who thinks that she should speak for the Fox News rednecks that watch her show. I could tell you that as far as beauty goes, back in the 70's and 80's there was a black sports caster named Jayne Kennedy - WOW!!! That woman was one of the most lovely things on earth!

Didn't Joe Biden when talking about Obama that it was nice to see a black man who could speak English properly?
