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."

I just did, Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired, and no less than twice.

Can you figure it out on your own, or are you really that inane?

Assuming those are verbatim quotes then they used poor word choices.
Saying that people who can't afford to repay a loan or are at high risk
shouldn't get the loans in the first place is simply good business
regardless of ethnicity, age, sex or social status of the borrower.

Are you really so senseless that you thought it WAS a verbatim quote? You
should learn to read between the lines. There's volumes of information
you're missing out on.

Nowhere in those citations does it say anything approaching "We can't
blame rich White people, can we? Fox news told me they were all great." It
seems obvious you dislike Fox News, this is fine with me, but don't make
things up or read things into what was actually said to support your bias.

Well, obviously you must really be that inane. In both instances I
provided, they did not say "regardless of ethnicity, age, sex or social
status of the borrower",

No, I said that.

they clearly blamed minorities.

And I said they were wrong for doing so.

Do you always need
such simple things explained to you, Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired?

Well, since you insist on seeing what isn't there, not even
"between the lines" and you feel the need to be insulting, my part of
this discussion is over.
