I'm watching this debate from Germany and I'm deeply shocked.

I knew that Fox news is a biased, pro-Republican channel, but I did not know that racist ideas are so openly announced, without any critical questioning.

I find that the way fox news is pretending to be a serious news channel, is really obscene.
In Germany, it is still a taboo to express racist ideas in the public. Every time some idiotic Neo-Nazis try to speak out such racism or try to organize demonstrations against foreigners, there is a broad counter movement of honest Germans, peacefully demonstrating their protest against such ideas. And this especially because we Germans know, in retrospect to our own history of the “Third Reich” (The nazi regime), that you have to make a stand against racism from the start.

Nevertheless, I think that black americans should take President Obama as a role model: To keep their own integrity not letting themselves down to the level of fox news. Every decent american should make a stand against such ideas, as this website does. However everybody opposing racist ideas, should rest on firm ground by argueing rationally and not by insulting or using demagogy as fox news does.

Almost all Germans really admire America for the fact, that a black man was elected president, showing that this country provides opportunities for all citizens, regardless of their heritage.

The election of Barack Obama was a historical event further consolidating Americas way to an open society of equal men and women. And this idea is more powerful than any attempt to agitate Americans against each other.

yes, there is agendas behind all major american news stations. we are far too invested in the culture of capitalism for that to be avoided. big money and their views infiltrates both fox and cnn. so, it is our job as aware and politically intelligent citizens to point out the biases in these stations. this website is doing that. there should be more sites like this taking the time to delve into all the stations and revealing the obvious slants they are embracing.

thats all i gots ta say.
