The incident happen in an exchange with the FOX News anchor. When asked her opinion of the recent scandal surrounding some comments made by Sen. Hillary Clinton, which Trotta described by saying that, “some are reading [it] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama.” Hemmer quickly corrected Trotta, having noticed that she had said “Osama” when she meant “Obama.” At this point, Trotta said, “Obama. Well…both if we could!” Trotta then laughed gleefully.
Well. They reported. I’ve decided that their FCC license should be suspended. I don’t care who you support politically, joking about someone’s death is inappropriate.

Well, I agree. But who is Trotta? Is she part of Fox or a hired “head”? If Fox sanctioned it then yes, if they didn’t how can they be held responsible? Shouldn’t we hold ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN to the same standards? I have heard some outrageous crap out of them as well.

She was no outside interviewee. Fox News claims her as one of their own.
