Rapper Nas Joins Protesters Outside Fox News For Alleged Racist Reporting

July 25, 2008 06:14 am CDT 

Rapper Nas has teamed up with activist group ColorOfChange.org to protest outside the Fox News' Manhattan headquarters on Wednesday for its alleged biased reporting.

The organization has presented a petition to the news network with more than 600,000 signatures to pressure them to restrain their prejudiced reporting.

On the Wednesday episode of "The O'Reilly Factor," host Bill O'Reilly has taken a jab at Color or Change's parent company, MoveOn.org for intimidating anyone who criticizes Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

He said, "The Move On organization espouses a radical left agenda and attacks those who oppose that nonsense. The latest smear from Move On is telling their Kool-Aid-drinking zombie followers that Fox News is smearing Barack Obama and is a racist concern. Of course, that's a lie. This broadcast and FNC in general have been exceedingly fair to Senator Obama... But in order to intimidate anyone from criticizing Obama in any way, Move On is playing the race card."

The rapper said to the press and his fellow protesters, "We already knew that Fox is not a news network; they are a propaganda machine. But their racist attacks have gone way too far. Calling Michelle Obama 'Barack's baby mama' - tell me, is that acceptable? Is that racist? Bill O'Reilly saying a 'lynching party' for Michelle Obama might be legit if she has the wrong political opinions."

"...It's offensive to black Americans, and it's offensive to all Americans."

During his guest appearance on Comedy Central's "Colbert Report", Nas also challenged O'Reilly for a debate on neutral ground.
