“That was an Insult Not just Aimed at me” – Fox News’ Martha MacCallum sparks outrage revealing a “VULG@R C0MMENT” from a Public Figure!
“Much like Roger Ailes once built the Fox News lineup with ‘blonde Barb1e d0lls’ in short, tight skirts, the president has often favored stylish women in heels to stand beside him,” wrote David Horsey in a Los Angeles Times column that was widely criticized. “By comparison, Ivanka and Melania – the epitome of this look – make Press Secretary Sanders seem like a slightly chubby soccer mom organizing snacks.”
“That first line deeply offends me,” Martha MacCallum, veteran Fox News anchor, responded.
Horsey did apologize to Huckabee Sanders and removed the lines, but the women at Fox News – reduced to ‘blonde Barb1e d0lls’ – also deserve an apology. He finally expressed regret, but never directly apologized to me or any other current Fox anchors.
Martha emphasized: “Horsey has no clue how hard we work. Our success comes from sheer effort, dedication, and sacrificing time with family and friends. I worked at The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, NBC; at Fox News for over 13 years, I’ve covered four presidential elections, moderated debates, and now host The Story, leading its time slot since day one. This success isn’t about hair color or skirts.”
She added: “We live in a time when division fuels cr::de words, seen as justified by politics. Is this really the America we want?”
At Fox News, Martha acknowledged they too faced realities of misconduct; she herself once endured unw2nted c0mments and advances early in her career – moments when she truly felt like a “Barb1e d0ll.”
“It’s sad this still happens today. I hope this national conversation will shine light into dark places.” But she also warned we must see nuance: between an off-color comment and crimes like ass2ult lies a big difference. “In today’s climate, a single accusation can ruin someone’s career – that is dangerous too.”
