Fox news never said anything of the kind.

Actually they did, Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired.

On the September 18 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto
asked Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA), "[W]hen you and many of your
colleagues were pushing for more minority lending and more expanded
lending to folks who heretofore couldn't get mortgages, when you were
pushing homeownership ... Are you totally without culpability here?"
Cavuto later said, "I'm just saying, I don't remember a clarion call
that said, 'Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Loaning to minorities and
risky folks is a disaster.' "

During the September 25 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, radio
host Laura Ingraham said that "the problem here is government
intervention in the free markets" and baselessly suggested that 1995
rules strengthening the CRA "pushed all these institutions to lend to
minority communities, many were very risky loans."


OK, show us where that says "We can't blame rich White people, can
we? Fox news told me they were all great."
