NBC was forced to issue an apology this week after Jane Fonda said the word “cunt” in a discussion of the play The Vagina Monologues. “We would do nothing to offend the audience, so please accept that apology,” Today co-host Meredith Vieira told viewers.
What the network has not yet apologized for, nor is it likely to, is having Republican operative Roger Stone on Tucker Carlson’s MSNBC show this week. Stone is the leader of the anti-Hillary Clinton group Citizens United Not Timid, and acronym he may or may not have stolen from a seventh-grade kid. Stone regularly says a lot of things that are far more harmful to women than whatever damage Fonda allegedly did by letting that word slip; for example, Stone proclaims his group’s purpose is simply to give a “one-word education. That’s our mission. No issues. No policy groups. No position papers. This is a simple committee with an unfortunate acronym.” In other words, forget the issues, Hillary is a woman and she must be stopped. Stone also closed his Tucker interview by inexplicably saying this, about Barack Obama: “By the way, I’m not sure how you avoid assassination in those instances. When they see how naive he is, I think the American people will make a correct judgment.”
There probably won’t be an apology for presenting Stone and the deeply offensive misogyny he represents. It’s too bad he didn’t commit the gaffe of referring to his own group’s name.
