FOX News Outdoes Itself: Obama’s “Fist Bump” Really a “Terrorist Fist Jab”
June 7, 2008
Wow, I never though I would say this but it appears as though FOX News has outdone even itself. You may or may not have seen Obama’s landmark speech last Tuesday from the Xcel Center in Minnesota. While exiting the stage he gave his wife Michelle a hug, and a “fist bump” which is the equivalent of a high five. Well FOX News is now suggesting that the “fist bump” was in fact a “terrorist fist jab” in arguably the single most ridiculous piece of reporting (if you can even call it that) I have ever seen.
Here is video and analysis of FOX’s latest smear courtesy of the good people over at Media Matters:
During the June 6 edition of Fox News’ America’s Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion by saying, “A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently.” In the ensuing discussion with Janine Driver — whom Hill introduced as “a body language expert” — Hill referred to the “Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound,” adding that “people call it all sorts of things.” Hill went on to ask Driver: “Let’s start with the Barack and Michelle Obama, because that’s what most people are writing about — the fist thump. Is that sort of a signal that young people get?” At no point during the discussion did Hill explain her earlier reference to “a terrorist fist jab.”
