Fox News, like, Totally Makes Sense
Not gonna sermonize, just want to share this video.
Looks like M-1 is Fox News’s go-to-rapper when they want to blame hip hop for something. The interesting thing is that M-1 completely murks his opponents every time he’s in one of these debates, but I guess the dudes at Fox News don’t realize that. Like I wonder if every time he makes an intelligent point and the chosen opponent responds by repeating the same point for 5 minutes, if the guys in the control room are high-fiving and letting out a guttural “burrrrrrn!”, even though anyone with half a helping of analytical brain power can see that M-1′s arguments actually make sense, and the other dude pretty much never does.
I guess they do not know how unconvincing their anti-hip hop arguments actually are. If Fox News actually wanted to win one of these anti-hip hop segments, they should find a rapper much dumber than M-1. Like Soulja Boy or Jim Jones or something.
Notice how Cavuto does the classic Fox News trick when talking about how rich M-1 is: “that’s not what I hear, I hear you’re doing okBUTCHARLES…” State a firm belief in something that you probably know to be untrue, then change the subject immediately so your guest will look foolish if he tries to go back to that subject. Bill O’Reilly is the master at this.
Not much to say about it. You can see how well M-1 acquits himself and represents, and you can see how badly Fox wants to confirm their audience’s belief that hip hop is corrupting America’s youth by showing some little white kids dancing in an Eminem video then cutting to what looks like some strip club rap video as though they were the same video. That message is pretty clear: rap music will turn your kids into strippers or Eminem! And then they’ll start refusing to help the police terrorize Black neighborhoods!
Happy Thursday!
