Fox News Boss under Fire over Joke about Obama

Another reason to boycott FOX news:

The president of Fox News Channel is under fire from US Democrats after making a joke playing on the similarity of presidential hopeful Barack Obama's name to terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden.

The Nevada Democratic Party has cancelled an August debate that was to be co-hosted by Fox News Channel, citing comments by the network's president Roger Ailes about Obama.

"Comments made last night by Fox News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far. We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments," state Democratic Party chairman Tom Collins and Nevada Senator Harry Reid wrote in a letter sent to Fox News.
