Their ratings chase went too far again this past weekend when political pundit Liz Trotta stepped once again into the realm of poor taste by jokingly admitting that Barrack Obama be assassinated.
She had first "mistakenly" referred to Obama as "Osama" while discussing theories that Hillary Clinton's recent comments about the RFK assassination was in fact a suggestion that someone "knock off Osama." When she was corrected and reminded that she meant "Obama," she then said, "Well, both if we could."
Fox News needs to show some ethical leadership and come down hard on Liz Trotta and her foolish, lame attempt at “humor”.
Assassination is nothing to make light of and if Liz Trotta and Fox News had any inkling of the immorality of making such comments they might aspire to be a valuable news service instead of the lesser entertainment venue it is. But evidently in their reckless attempt to entertain they have become desensitized to how heinous the crime of murder is.
It is unconscionable for Hillary Clinton to link any connection about the RFK assassination to a running mate, it is unethical and contemptible for a purveyor of news, such as what Fox News is attempting to be, to present the story in any other fashion than for what it actually is, a news story.

Do you really expect anything less than complete yellow journalism from Rupert Murdoch owned fox news? You must have a strong stomach to be able to watch that station at all.
In my attempt to get all viewpoints on as many issues as I can I do subject myself to some very painful truths as to how some journalist have prostituted themselves.
Although I cannot give Rupert Murdoch's news/entertainment circus very much of my time I do find I get a good chuckle every time I am exposed to his trash.
A good sense of humor is the only way to get through it.
