Nothing says stupidity like a unbecoming slur from Fox.
In my opinion Fox News isn't news, it's an annoyance.

it's entertainment in a news format. the best spirit to watch fox news is the same with which one watches pro wrestling. only pro wrestling is a helluva lot more fun.

You know coming from Fox that was a big slap to her face. They might have well just called her a Ho.

They don't say who those "outraged liberals" are? Notice it says Liberals. As if it was said by a group. Part of Fox's propaganda method.

"Do you try to explain that `baby mama' is slang for the unmarried mother of a man's child, and not his wife, or even a girlfriend?" Walsh wrote. "Are they racist, or just clueless? Isn't there racism even in their cluelessness, if somebody didn't know what `baby mama' means, but used it anyway? Even at Fox, won't somebody have to apologize?"
--Joan Walsh, Solon.com
No, Joan, they're not clueless. They're rich two-digit IQ right-wingers feeling threatened. That's all.

Gee, if E.D. Hill is part of the crowd complaining about Michelle Obama being a "baby mama" she's got stones.
She has gone by:
Edye Tarbox
Edie Weill
E. D. Donahey
E. D. Hill
She's been married to almost every man in the United States EXCEPT maybe Obama. Five kids by 3 different men. And her gang refers to MICHELLE as a "baby mama"? ::)

I would suggest calling her Mrs. Oboma. Where are all the true conservatives on this board?

I consider myself a conservative. I don't watch Fox news but I do think referring to her as "baby mama" is highly offensive and who ever thought to say that should be smacked with a two by four.

Fox contributor Liz Trotta said she was sorry for joking about an Obama assassination
Um- Isn't that against the law?
That's the "slur" I'd be worried about!

The commentators at Fox News are a bunch of snobbish bullies that think they are the only ones on this planet. Let alone the only people that matter. To make these kind of remarks suggest that they feel threatened. Really threatened by Obama.

Tacky and totally uncalled for, definitely, but I think it is only against the law if he is actually president.

In this election cycle, it's obvious to me that Fox News isn't even going to pretend to be objective anymore. They talked about Jeremiah Wright for 3 months non-stop, and still didn't stop even after Obama left his church.
Several of there political commentators have accused the "left-wing" media of being biased toward Obama, but they have basically ignored the negatives of John McCain who has essentially been flip-flopping and misspeaking his way across America for over a year.

The trick is to make them sound like they know what they're talking about.

I've noticed a trend in the media lately to refer to expectant mothers or fathers as the "baby mama" or the more frequently used "the baby daddy".
Example, I have seen the guy who impregnated Britney's kid sister referred to as the "baby daddy". Can't remember just who I have seen referred to as a "baby mama" but I am sure I have heard that too.
What's the origin of "baby daddy"? I would think if anything it should be "baby's daddy"? ????

Should be, but isn't. Just the way it is.

It was a mid-1990s rap song called "Baby's Daddy". This is an example of mainstream white America's attempt at hipness via cultural appropriation. Once again, they misuse a slang term that they really know nothing of.

I've heard both blacks and whites use the term "baby daddy" and as far as I can tell they use it the same way.
What exactly IS the true cultural meaning of this slang term (I do not remember hearing the song you mention) ???
