Last night Michelle Obama participated in an entertainment program that awarded faux golden trophies to entertainers. Her appearance on the Oscar broadcast has rankled conservatives who are jealous that they are too lacking in talent to be honored by their peers. So they have risen up to spew condemnation for the First Lady having the audacity to present an award.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/obama-oscar.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News Michelle Obama Oscar\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h4>So F**king What?<\/h4>\n<p>This couldn&#8217;t possibly be a more petty attack on a more trivial event. The Fox reporter covering the affair wrote that <em>&#8220;instead of inspiring, the surprising presenter instantly drew a few head shakes and loud groans from journalists backstage.&#8221;<\/em>  The article went to cite derisive, unattributed quotes that ranged from <em>&#8220;makes no sense&#8221;<\/em> to <em>&#8220;suck job&#8221;<\/em> to <em>&#8220;stupid and pointless&#8221;<\/em> to <em>&#8220;tacky and tasteless.&#8221;<\/em> Ironically, all of those opinions would apply equally as well to Fox News for choosing to focus on this vapid criticism instead of just reporting what took place. What&#8217;s more, if their sources are genuine, they have inadvertently refuted their long-held belief that journalists are <em>&#8220;in the tank&#8221;<\/em> for Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Breitbart News chimed in calling Obama&#8217;s presentation <em>&#8220;obscene, and rather frightening.&#8221;<\/em> Of course, Fox Nation also jumped in to headline their item <em>&#8220;Michelle Obama Crashes the Oscars,&#8221;<\/em> as if she were not invited to participate. Certainly the Teabagger press would have preferred that Ann Romney had announced the Best Picture winner. They never complained when she <em>&#8220;crashed&#8221;<\/em> the Olympics with her fancy-dancin&#8217; horse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is more evidence that Fox News is congenitally incapable of reporting anything about the First Family without attaching some derogatory spin to the whole matter.
