FOX News' Black History Month "Celebration" is Garbage

I'm not an African American so I hope
I'm not offending anyone when I say that I found FOXNews.com's Black
History Month Celebration more of an insult than a tribute to that
large segment of the American population. I was a bit surprised to
discover the "celebration" to begin with, considering how lily white
FNC is. I can think of only two African American reporters in the
entire line-up and none who are program hosts. Yet, it's amazing how
many blondes FOX News hires. So when I saw the little box (no longer
there) on the top of the website advertising Black History Month, I
knew I had to take a peek. The "celebration" itself takes place in a
distant corner of the website. There is usually no link on the home
page. To get there, you have to find the Fox Fan link at the top of the
page, click on Newsletters (not exactly an intuitive link, IMHO), then
to FNC Update (another counter-intuitive link), then scroll down to the
bottom of the page for the link that says "FNC's Celebration of Black
History Month Continues." It seems more like a virtual ghetto to me
than a party-room. [more] yep. It's garbage - BW
