Nas Takes Fox News To Task For What He Calls 'Racist Attacks,' At NYC Rally
'We already knew that Fox is not a news network; they are a propaganda machine,' rapper tells fellow protesters.
by Shaheem Reid
NEW YORK — Nas' very public disdain for Fox News continued Wednesday (July 23) when he teamed up with the Web site ColorOfChange.org to protest outside the network's Manhattan headquarters on Wednesday (July 23) and present a petition to the news organization. Color of Change gathered more than 600,000 signatures to try to curb what it considers biased reporting on Fox's part.

"During his stump speeches, Reagan often told the story of a so-called welfare queen in Chicago who drove a Cadillac and had ripped off $150,000 from the government using 80 aliases, 30 addresses, a dozen Social Security cards and four fictional dead husbands. Reagan dutifully promised to roll back welfare. Journalists searched for this welfare cheat and discovered that she didn't exist. Nevertheless, he kept using the anecdote."
--Peter Dreier, director of urban and environmental policy program at Occidental College
