Has McDonald's Restaurant Chain jumped on the racism band wagon?

Reply received from McDonalds on July 27, 2010. CLICK to read.

I was shocked over the deliberate slandering of Shirley Sherrod by two racist "rats"

Breitbart and Fox(not)News teamed up to deliberatly slander a black woman and cost her her job.  I know...the suddness of the illconceived response by the Department of Agriculture and the NAACP cannot be excused, but at least they tried to attone for their sins.

Fox, caught with their pants down, turned to moon America and pass their blame to others.

But while reading and researching this subject I came upon another tid bit that warrants we take a closer look at who we choose to do business with.

It seems that wide screen televisions are starting to appear in McDonalds restaurants.

So what? you may ask.

The catch is that McDonalds corporat policy seems to be that ONLY FOX (not)NEWS is permitted on these TV sets.  You read right...the network that makes it a continued policy to preach, project and distribute racism as a standard product of there's is the only thing you will be permitted to watch while you feed fat to your children.  Their excuse is that it has less violence than other news stations.

Could this be because Fox is not news?  Given the playgrounds and the kid friendly atmosphere and yes the very worth-while Ronald McDonald house Charities, why not Disney...is that channel too violent as well.  Is it better to help spread racism and hate to their customers than, say, Donald Duck?

I sent an email and a fax making it clear that if I ever walk into a McDonalds and see Fox (not)News displayed on a television set I will immediatly turn and walk out...I will go to Burger King or Subway or anywhere else I am not subjected to a video feed of hate.

Here is a web site/organization that has successfully gotten multiple advertisers to remove their ads from Glenn Beck an some from Fox entireley over their racist comments.  http://foxnewsboycott.com/botm/botm-april-2010/
