MSNBC host Rachel Maddow tore into Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night for arguing that most American companies have employees who send racist emails at work.
Maddow suggested Kelly’s comment, which referred to emails unearthed by a Justice Department investigation of officials in Ferguson, Missouri, revealed something unseemly about the internal workings of the Fox News Channel.
“There are ‘very few companies in America’ where you won’t find a photo of a bare-chested group of dancing women, apparently in Africa, with the caption ‘Michelle Obama’s high-school reunion?'” Maddow said during “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
“I don’t work at the Fox News Channel, so I can’t speak to what’s in their employees’ inboxes on a regular basis,” Maddow said.
“But emails depicting President Obama as a chimp?” she continued, citing another example from the DOJ investigation. “Emails describing a man trying to obtain welfare for his dogs because they are ‘mixed in color’? Maybe those kinds of emails happen where you work. Maybe my office is an outlier. I do not get those types of emails.”
On Monday night, Kelly called the DOJ report “problematic” because “there are very few companies in America, whether they’re public or private, in which if you sic 40 FBI agents on the company and review every email and every document and every communication between employees, you won’t find any racist emails.”

I’m sorry, Dr. Maddow, they’re normal at FOX.
Her office probably is an outlier; I think MK’s remarks were, sadly, pretty accurate.
I love the way Rachel schooled Megyn with good humor and no small amount of snarky ridicule.
That shit would get you fired at my work. Rightfully so.
There is an America in which people of partial African ancestry call themselves, “mixed”, “multi-racial”, “bi-racial”, “African-American” and “black”.
All with equal aplomb
There is an America in which people do not faint upon seeing interracial relationships and marriage, INCLUDING those with people pf African ancestry.
There is an America in which people have comfort and confidence relating with and among people of different colours.
And then there’s the Confederacy.
It’s enthusiasts (who extend to the Arctic Circle) comprise the audience watching Megyn Kelly, whose value is not that of a journalist but a hostess serving bigotry in a pastel-coloured studio.
As a poster stated on another topic, FOX viewers comprise only a few millions of people, but with Gerrymandering, Age-Related voting patterns, suppression, gimmicks, unequal representation (e.g in the Senate, California gets two senators and about 15 hillbilly states get 30 with the same amount of people) they and their brethren have stumbled upon something we had better learn how to combat. Soon.
