Nas Takes On FOX News & Bill O’Reilly

July 26th, 2008 | Posted in Politics | Print This Article

Rap superstar Nas has delivered a petition to Fox News Channel’s midtown Manhattan HQ, which was signed by 620,127 people who’ve noticed a pattern of racist coverage on FOX.

The rapper joined grassroots groups ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org in protest of FOX News’ racist smears against the Obamas and other Black Americans.

“FOX poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news,” said Nas.

He caught ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org’s attention with a bitingly intelligent song called “Sly Fox,” which has lyrics like, “Watch what you watchin’, FOX keeps feeding us toxins, Stop sleeping, Start thinking” and “I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth/Not the biased truth/Not the liar’s truth/But the highest truth.”

Check out Nas’ interview and performance of “Sly Fox” on The Colbert Report below.
