Fox apologizes to Jews for Facebook poll on Jesus Poll suggested Jews were responsible for the death of Christ
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Fox Latin America has apologized for a poll on whether Jews killed Jesus Christ that one of its staffers put on a Facebook page promoting the National Geographic Channel's Christmas special.
The poll asked readers who they think is responsible for the death of Christ: Pontius Pilate, The Jewish People or the High Priests.
The Simon Weisenthal Center in Buenos Aires calls it a defamatory reference to Vatican propaganda that "resulted in the persecution and murder of Jews for two millennia."
The Jewish group says it's outraged that Fox would perpetuate an idea that the Vatican annulled back in 1965.
Fox Spokeswoman Guadalupe Lucero apologized on behalf of National Geographic, saying the poll was removed immediately and measures have been taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
MSNBC looking for anything to complain about since nobody watches their tripe. I heard Fox Antartica made a bad joke about baby seals....
after taking a second look...it was a "staffer" that single handedly put a poll on the Facebook page. So when you say "those folks at Fox News" , you should be honest and say that one guy/gal in Argentina who happens to work at Fox. Do you really believe for a second that the heads of Fox would approve of or have any idea what some staffer might decide to do in Argentina? Digging pretty deep for your daily Fox News outrage
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Yes, that must be why they apologized and promised it would never happen again. I guess all those people who watched Fox and were outraged were incited by MSNBC, who merely reported it...
Sorry Cruella, it's still a swing and a miss when it comes to an outrage of the day. Maybe you could try to dig a little deeper and find the name of the Argentinian staffer who probably doesn't even speak English....such big news, no surprise MSNBC would waste time on it (due to jealousy of Fox).
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
And tell me this, which do you think is more telling and a bigger deal...some obscure staffer of Fox Latin America that you can't even name posting a stuid poll on Facebook, or MSNBC hiring one of the biggest racist / anti-semites on the planet (Al "The Brain" Sharpton) and giving him his own show?
Here's a taste of his fun loving antics:
If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house
And there are so many juicy quotes that have pretty much been whitewashed or forgotten by the MSM that I could probably fill an entire page. Ya LJ, MSNBC is just so righteous and caring of all races and religions that they would hire this piece of sh#t.

Wow. Didn't think it could be done, but this topic by LJ makes Outdoor's topics look like they are news from Walter Conkrite in comparison. :VeryScared:
More much ado about nothing from LJ and the main street media. According to scripture, Pontius, the Jewish holy leaders and the Jewish crowds were all involved. It may not be politically corrrect to blame the Jews anymore, but that is what has been taught for centuries.
