Fox stands with anti-Semite Nick Cannon

The Fox television network has finally come out on the Nick Cannon anti-Semitism issue after Cannon went on a Jew-hating polemic whereby he claimed Jews control the global financial system. Cannon has since become an apology machine because he enjoys the money he makes with Fox.

Les Eisner, the Fox entertainment spokesman, said that Fox is standing behind Cannon, who had posted a YouTube video on June 23rd that praised another anti-Semite and racist, Louis Farrakhan, the leader of Nation of Islam. That organization is openly anti-Semitic and the hate preaching Farrakhan has referred to Jews as termites.

Cannon also pushed the ancient anti-Semitic lie about that a secret group of Jews controls the world's banking system. At least he didn't go on to say that Jews use the blood of Christians or Muslims to make Passover matzoh, another go-to canard favored by idiots like Farrakhan.

Cannon's comments led ViacomCBS, producer of his MTV and VH1 show, to fire him, to their credit. Toxic people create a poor work environment and they certainly don't reflect well on the company that employs them.

But Cannon is also the host of Fox's "The Masked Singer," and it seems that Fox would rather defend this guy than have the courage to do what ViacomCBS did.

In addition, Cannon is in talks for a daytime television show produced by Lionsgate's Debmar-Mercury group. So far, they have not commented on his anti-Semitic diatribes.

Fox spokesman Eisner defended Cannon, saying the host is remorseful and currently educating himself about why his comments offended the American Jewish community. If Cannon were white and made anti-black remarks, the outcome would obviously be different.

Initially, Cannon issued a non-apology, but he has since changed his tune as it became clear that his personal finances depended upon it.

"When we were made aware of Nick Cannon's interview with Richard Griffin on YouTube, we immediately began a dialogue with Nick," Eisner said in a statement. "He is clear and remorseful that his words were wrong and lacked both understanding and context, and inadvertently promoted hate. This was important for us to observe."

So does Cannon now say he believes Louis Farrakhan is wrong to say what he does about Jews? Has he disavowed him? No, but he said he's sorry for what he said--but he's really only sorry about the blowback.

"Nick has sincerely apologized, and quickly taken steps to educate himself and make amends," Eisner claimed. "On that basis and given a belief that this moment calls for dialogue, we will move forward with Nick and help him advance this important conversation, broadly. FOX condemns all forms of hate directed toward any community and we will combat bigotry of any kind."

So he's really, really, very, very sorry and that should end the dialogue and let's move on dot org.

In the now infamous YouTube video, which has since been deleted, Cannon went into the classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the Jews, saying, "Going as deep as the Rothschilds, centralized banking, the 13 families, the bloodlines that control everything even outside of America."

He comes off like a white supremacist if you only read his words. They and other anti-Semites blame the Jews for global unrest like the Democrats blame President Trump for everything negative, including the weather.

Unable to provide real examples, he also said that Jewish people and "Zionists" [a term anti-Zionists constantly use as a slur] have "too much power."

As the public's outrage mounted, Cannon saw the writing on the wall and issued a statement apologizing for his remarks.

"First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth," he said. "They reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people and I feel ashamed of the uninformed and naïve place that these words came from."

Cannon said he is now being advised by rabbis and Jewish community leaders to further understand the hateful nature of his words, but it is unknown if he's still a big fan of Louis Farrakhan.
