Fox News says the four-minute anti-Obama video that aired yesterday during the “Fox & Friends” show was not authorized by senior management.
The spot came across like a slick Republican attack ad focused on the presidential promise of “hope and change.”
It contrasts that slogan with grim economic statistics and images of unemployed workers, foreclosed houses, food stamps, long gasoline lines and a graphic of a piggy bank to depict lower family savings.
The feature ends with Obama saying, “That's the power of hope. That's the change we seek. That's the change we can stand for."
Following the clip, F&F anchor Steve Doocy praised the producer for a “job well done.”
Bill Shine, Fox’s programming chief, said the video was created by a junior producer and that management has dealt with the issue.
