Placards on display read, "Fox News: Your Source for Racist Smears" and "Fair and Balanced? Fairly Racist."Said Nas, "Fox's pattern of race-baiting and fear-mongering regularly focuses on black leaders, black institutions and ordinary black people."A Fox News rep responded by saying the cabler "believes in all protesters exercising their right to free speech — including Nas, who has an album [Untitled] to promote."What's your take? Do Nas and the protesters have a valid point? — Matt Mitovich
