Two Fox News commentators were recently suspended for two
weeks for using profanity while criticizing Obama. They simply got in trouble
for speaking their minds on air, when others have much worse to say. Ralph
Peters, a strategic analyst, called Obama a “totally pu*** who doesn’t want to
hurt our enemies” And to follow the comment up, Stacey Dash, A Fox contributor,
said the president “didn’t give a sh**” about Sunday night’s terrorism speech.
The Fox senior executive, Bill Shine, addressed both of these comments as
completely inappropriate and unacceptable. He said he does not allow that type
of language on air and had suspended them for two weeks. Peters apologized for
his actions but said he knows he has a lot of people on his side and continued
to talk about a stronger military and action against ISIS. While Dash, had
nothing to say besides, “Consequences. Some of us have to pay them. Gladly.” I
agree and disagree with how this situation went down. I believe in freedom of
speech but I also believe commentators should be mature on air and learn how to
control their language. Two weeks of suspension is nothing for speaking your
mind, I personally think they both feel better and it may have been worth it to
get people talking about it.
