Fox News Hires MLK’s Niece, Alveda King, As A Contributor

by | Mar 9, 2015 | News | 0 comments

Don’t rub your eyes, you read that correctly. The often bashed, biased media outlet, Fox News signed the highly respected civil rights leader’s niece to their contributors list.

Dr. Alveda King is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King and the newest contributor to the Fox News station. The unlikely pair, at least in our minds, announced last week via press release they will be joining forces.

Fox News had more to say.

The chairman of Fox News, Roger Ailes, added: “Alveda has brilliantly carried the legacy of the King family to the next generation and has been a source of inspiration for many Americans. Her passion and mission for social change will be a valuable contribution to our network.”

King is no stranger to the Fox News outlet. She has made a number of appearances on the show before sticking her foot in her mouth. Most recently, she appeared speaking about the Trayvon Martin murder calling it a “Late Abortion”, so many are not surprised.

Many are not shocked King would join the Fox News team, who the majority of black America feels is racial biased towards the black community….and that is putting it mildly.

In fact, when one of our writers, Shereen Renee, learned of the Fox addition, she said, “she thinks like a House Negress on a Plantation when it comes to them kinds of folkses. I’ve heard enough of her mouth in times past, so nothing she says now will shock me or sway me in her direction.”

SOUND OFF: What do you think of Dr. King’s niece joining the Fox News Team?
