The Fox television network is sponsoring a workshop with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to help young Muslim artists aspiring to work in TV and film. “Hollywood 101<\/a>“<\/em> is described as an event to…<\/p>\n

“…introduce aspiring Muslim writers, directors and actors to the entertainment industry. The event, held at FOX Studios in Century City, was also designed to help promote a positive change in Hollywood’s portrayal of Muslims and Arabs.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox News has previously been taken to task<\/a> by CAIR for “anti-Islamic bigotry.”<\/em> The Fox Entertainment Group, under separate management, deserves some credit for making an effort to enhance understanding and opportunity. But this program, emanating from Fox’s “Diversity Department,”<\/em> makes Michelle Malkin “cringe:”<\/em><\/p>\n

“‘Diversity Department?’ How about a Patriotism Department? How about reaching out to the brave Muslim\/ex-Muslim critics of jihad and sharia?”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Malkin, who is currently on a campaign to smear<\/a> a 12 year-old victim of a catastrophic car accident, is taking a bold position against diversity. What’s more, she is actually castigating Fox for not being patriotic enough. The network with the ever-present flag logo waving on-screen, mandatory lapel pins, and an editorial policy that brands dissent as treason, is in need of a corporate department to advocate patriotism, according to Malkin. This is the same network whose PR spokeswoman Irena Briganti said in response<\/a> to Christiane Amanpour’s charge that the media “muzzled itself”<\/em> during the Iraq war:<\/p>\n

“Given the choice, it’s better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The current philosophy at Fox is that if you practice responsible, probing journalism, you are on al-Qaeda’s team. They believe that it is an appropriate role for the press to fall in line behind the president. And both Fox and Malkin believe that patriotism is best expressed by abandoning journalistic independence and the First Amendment. And all of this in the name of denying opportunities to minority communities and quashing diversity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
