It was either a slur or a really tone deaf attempt at a play on words when Fox News had a tagline under video of Michelle Obama referring to her as “Obama’s Baby Mama”. Michelle Obama, when introducing her husband at his Senate victory speech, referred to Barack as “my baby’s daddy”. Just so you know what the talking heads at Fox are talking about when they use that in their defense.

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he’d spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as “Obama’s baby mama.”

I checked, and sure enough, as you can see below, our e-mailer was right. In fact, that description was displayed on-screen several times during the segment, which featured anchor Megyn Kelly and conservative blogger Michelle Malkin, an FNC contributor.
