Fox News’ hosts are known for insensitive remarks, and yesterday was no exception. During Fox News’ “The Five,”, co-host Andrea Tantaros described why she believes the recession was a good thing for this generation of children. She explained that the millennial generation feels too entitled, and because of that kids “need an attitude adjustment.”
She also stated she “think[s] the recession was good for kids” because they’ve been “humbled a little bit.”
Of course, she’s not talking about children in wealthy households, like the ones her and her co-workers can afford. She’s talking about the 15 million children living below the poverty line, or more than 1 in 5 total. Children living in wealthy households don’t have the same hardships as children living in poverty, such as not having enough food to eat and going to bed hungry. Children in impoverished households are also more likely to suffer from stress and depression, because they often worry about their parents financial situations.
Here’s the video:
Tea Party Republicans only watch Fox for their in depth analysis of the news.
Need I say the obvious that…you know…Fox News is WAY overdue for an attitude adjustment? Exactly what would it take to humble Fox News’ imperial ego?
Arrogance, ignorance and depraved indifference – the hallmarks of all Fox Propagandists selling the Murdoch/Koch Big Lie. Create division and hate wherever possible, then blame the poor for daring to want luxuries, like food or shelter (hey, what are bridges for…)
