Buh-bye, Mr. Whitey

We noticed that Fux News Channel has announced the cancellation of "The Big Story", John "Mr. Whitey" Gibson's platform for flinging right-wing poo. Apparently, his ratings were down the toilet, which is where you'll also find Gibson, the whitest guy in television. The Carpetbagger Report notes some of Mr. Whitey's more famous slanders, including his mocking of Heath Ledger's death, his statement that Elizabeth Edwards was using her cancer to further her husband's political future, and referring to the Jena, La. marchers as "black devils" stalking the streets. Media Matters has a more complete list of his multiple outrages.

So, buh-bye. Should have gone long ago.

Mr. Whitey's Bigotry

The Faux News Channel's John "Mr. Whitey" Gibson seems intent to top his Faux News colleague Bill O'Liely with racist comments on his show. On his radio show, Mr. Whitey, in referring to the Jena, Louisiana marchers protesting the treatment of 6 black students, said that they "only wanna fight the white devil." The whitest man in America said the controversy was a "mirage of 1950s-style American segregation." This was a very similar in tone to the ones taken by white supremacist organizations, including Stormfront, that distorted the controversy and the protest march. Mr. Whitey and the Faux channel which employs him should be ashamed, but the truth is they actually believe the crap they spew.
