Two Fox News contributors have been suspended for using inappropriate language about President Barack Obama while discussing his speech on terrorism in two separate episodes.
The analysts, former U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and actress Stacey Dash, were each ordered off the air for two weeks.
The suspensions come after Peters was on air and called Obama a ‘total p****’ before Dash later appeared in a program saying the president ‘could give a s***.’
Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of programming at Fox, said in both cases the language ‘was completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air.’
‘Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks,’ Shine said.
Peters was appearing on a Fox Business Network program hosted by Stuart Varney when he was asked his reaction to the president’s speech – he didn’t like it.
His comments were not bleeped out, according to CNN.
‘Well, first of all he keeps speaking about “we can’t give in to our fears.” You know, “don’t be afraid,’ he said.
‘Look, Mr. President we’re not afraid we’re angry, we’re pissed off, we’re furious.
‘We want you to react, we want you to do something. You’re afraid. I mean this guy is such a total p****, it’s stunning.’
