How does a racist like Mark Furman get a job with Fox News?
Whether you believe OJ was guilty or not, that trial proved via tapes that Mark Furman is one of the worst racists ever with his statements on interracial couples. I see he is often a guest on Hannity and Colmes, how could that be? Why is the NAACP and other organizations not making a fuss about this?

1. Fox would hire Hermann Georing if he were still around.
Pushing the sleazy racist nazi agenda. Didnt they also have G. Gordon Liddy for a while?

7. Yes,
they also have Liddy on the air as a guest or at least, they use to. I NEVER watch that station unless I have to for a Democratic Debate.
Hiring Mark Furman doesn't surprise me...it IS a repuke station.

4. Is this a trick question?
Because the answer seems rather obvious. Welcome to DU, doubles! Do you watch Fox news?

22. Michael Skakel, for one...
Anybody read up on that case? They had nothing but emotionalism and anti-privellige resentment on that guy. Nothing.

13. He says yes when they beg him, and wipes up their drool.
Did you miss the memo? FOX loves people like Furhman. It's us they don't like.

14. You think that's bad....He's got a radio show here in Spokane...
Comes on after Hannity. He lives in this area and I saw him at the store one time. It was all I could do not spit on him.

I despise him. Not only is he a bigot, he's smug as hell and thinks he's god's gift to detectives.

25. maybe they already have?
what with his publisher being Murdoch, and those asinine proclamations of Mumia's guilt, Id say he probably fits right in.
CLean it up Michael. Apologize.

18. Everybody that works at Faux is a racist. What could possibly be the
problem? They preach racism but cloak it in terms of 'fighting terrorism', 'ending special entitlements', 'we're a christian country', etc., etc...It's all racism and assorted bigotry and intolerance in drag to make it polite and mor palatable for those who don't like to think they are bigots.
