Fox Addresses Baby Mama Drama: Producer Used ‘Poor Judgment’
Since Salon’s Alex Koppelman caught Fox News characterizing Michelle Obama as “Obama’s Baby Mama,” there’s been an uproar over use of such an offensive term.
“A producer on the program exercised poor judgment in using this chyron during the segment,” Fox’s Senior Vice President of Programming Bill Shine said in a statement to Politico.
In addition to being insulting, the phrase “baby mama” is also inaccurate. The Urban Dictionary defines “baby mama” as”the mother of your child(ren), whom you did not marry and with whom you are not currently involved.”
Although Shine doesn’t name anyone responsible, the show’s producer is Jessica Herzberg. A Fox staffer said that others internally were bothered by describing the potential first lady and very accomplished women — as the senator’s “baby mama.”
Unfortunately for the network, this comes just days after Fox’s E.D. Hill addressed her use of the phrase “terrorist fist jab” on-air in reference to the famous Michelle-Barack fist bump (or pound) made just before his celebratory speech in St. Paul.

Well the silly season is upon us. Fox appears to be first, silly; second, racially insensitive which is a step up for Fox staffers. What is interesting is that producers are senior staff, cowardly weasels and failed writers who know what to kiss and when. This leads me to beleive that the slur was deliberate rather than done without clue.

It’s FOX, of course it was deliberate. I don’t know why any one watches that foolish network. It’s run with a childlike mentality.

FOX NEWS NEEDS A GOOD SWIFT KICK IN THE ADS for saying such grossly disrespectful things about Mrs. Michelle Obama. This is a highly educated, highly accomplished, professional married woman. She is the wife of the candidate, and the mother of his children. A “baby mama” term is highly inappropriate in this context. THEN, TO CALL A
POU ND a “terrorist’s fist jab”, when that gesture is given in support, love, and exhaltation, clearly the fox team is feeling a lot of threat coming from the Obama Camp. What is the matter fox, worried about your weak ass candidate McCain?
