In a Fox News segment from December 12, Sean Hannity questioned why Governor Cuomo would choose to meet with Jay Z, whom Hannity refers to as a “former crack dealer.”
The Daily Show took issue with Hannity’s remarks.
“Fox News has 99 problems, but Jay Z ain’t one,” The Daily Show’s Jessica Williams says.
According to Williams, Fox News has made its fair share of critical comments about the Black community and its cultural and political figureheads. A recent target of the network is Jay Z.
Williams suggests in a The Daily Show clip that Fox News must be employing a new rule whereby everyone’s title now includes the worst act they’ve ever committed. These titles range from Ted Nugent, the “Statutory Rape Advocate,” to Rush Limbaugh, the “prescription drug addict.”
Fox News and the New York Post were among the publications to refer to the rapper-entrepreneur-head of Roc Nation as some variation of “Ex-Crack Dealer.”
The Daily Show segment is available for viewing below:

Are they wrong for calling him an ex drug dealer? FOX NEWS has no problems. They dominate all the other media networks tenfold. Stewart is just a g-string for Obama and all his bullshit. There are soooooo many dumb sheep in America who are just flat out stupid. Obama and his minions think that about all their voters. Do as we say not as we do stupid-silly peasants. Y’all are so damn racist and ignorant it’s truly a sad day for America with the way the media is. White people need to stop funding this wack shit.
Fox News has the best ratings because you have TV for normal people and then you have 1 channel for racists and bigots…
Won’t be forever, their audience is old southern racists who are dying…
NahlmSerious: You are too ignornat and so very racist. Keep being stupid crab, bc it’ll take you right to the handout line. Can’t wait for the 1st or the 15th can you peasant. Fox News won’t lose viewers silly kid, they will keep on dominating for decades to come sucka.
Hate me for being white, racist busta.
are you really defending fox news lmao
Stay in ya lane
Jake: I am not sorry for not being lockstep with all the other (liberal) news outlets. They all carry Obama’s thongs around and make shit up for him so he looks good. I laugh at people who make fun of Fox News and they are always people who could never debate me on anything of substance. It’s typical for people to hate on the Champs and that’s Fox News today. Please educate yourself for being ignorant and racist isn’t a good qualities to have.
White people kill me with their b.s. But why am I surprised, they kill everything they touch.
F’n trolls.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, JUST A TROLL DOING WHAT IT DOES. KEEP OUT OF THE WAY AND MOVE ALONG.
Stewart takes an L for clowning on someone for speaking the truth. I am a
fan of Jay Z.
whether or not he admits himself that he has sold crack has nothing to do with the agenda of fox news. these are dehumanization tactics. this is the same thing they did with mike brown. the boy is dead on the street & they sit & try to justify it on national news by saying he stole a swisher. a petty cigar. their agenda is to scare & convince “white america” of whatever they wish & the dehumanization of any person who is against their agenda, especially if he has melanated skin. this is the same government/system that sent an innocent 14 year old boy to the electric chair in 1944(George Stinney).
nonsense, this is about an ex drug dealer talking to the standing governor about police tactics
“nonsense” means devoid of senses. obviously more than one sense was used in the acquisition of this information. it doesn’t take much to not be ignorant. THIS is not just about the meeting but about foxes coverage of it, in which they use tactics they use day in & day out. for future reference, if you want to critique something, be more descriptive. one.
nonsense has multiple meanings:
anything of trifling importance or of little or no use.
it has many meanings to you. English words have been twisted & manipulated for a long long time to persuade & manipulate populations. all words have original meanings & in this case blatantly within. non sense.
^ read a dictionary, many words have multiple meanings
we BEEN told yaLL stop giving them passes.
trillscience is right, this is a dehumanizing tactic. Most of Fox news viewers are gonna see ‘ex crack dealer Jay-z’ and assume he’s nothing but a gangster…but honestly…who better than Shawn Carter to talk to the governor about police tactics?? Jay-z came up from the hood, saw the NY police force from the eyes of inner city youth, became a successful business man, got married had a kid, and gives back to his community he was raised in. Jay-z is a man qualified to talk with the governor about police tactics and interactions with the community…not just an ‘ex-crack dealer’
jay-z hasnt been on the streets in decades he dont know what its like
but he was there, during the crack era, its hard to stay in the streets when you worth millions with businesses to run…now I ask again…who better??
good look. by fox standards we should describe the US as the nation of slavery, segregation, drugs, violence & genocide. & we cant forget to point out that George Stinney was executed by electric chair at the age of 14 & was so small that they used a bible as a booster seat when they filled his body with massive volts of electricity until he was dead. oh ya he was completely innocent & they just cleared his name. yep, US, the nation of child murderers like Emmett Till, Tamir Rice & countless middle eastern children via drone strikes.
