Nas Vs. Fox News

Nas Vs. Fox News

Finally, college students have someone to lead their fight against Fox News. Rapper Nas has single-handedly waged war against Fox News and “Papa Bear O’Reilly.” Last week, Nas started up a petition against Fox News and presented the petition of over 620,000 signatures to the station in New York City this morning. Although, his efforts, along with those of Color of Change and Move On, were admirable, they have proved to be useless as Fox News has refused to accept the petition.

 

Nas' main concern about Fox News is that the network is ruthlessly shaming Barack and Michelle Obama with a string of racist slip-ups. College students all over the country are supporting Obama and will not submit to Fox's ignorant bias. The proof is in the college-network pudding. Over a million Facebook users have "friended" Barack Obama and the MtvU has reported on the issue calling the petition "activism" and scoffing at Fox News' supporters.

 

Nas also made an appearance on The Colbert Report to discuss the petition and perform "Sly Fox", a song lovingly dedicated to his favorite news channel. To college students, Stephen Colbert is a demi-god of sorts - many students looking to him for their news. So kudos to Nas for chatting with Colbert, he just gained about a gazillion more petition signers!
