We still don’t know what the fox says, but we know what Fox News has to say, and once again it’s nonsense.
Here’s the rundown of their latest bout of ignorance, courtesy of The Raw Story.
Fox News host Bill Hemmer on Wednesday found a new reason to dislike President Barack Obama’s health care reform law: It’s offered in 150 languages.
At a briefing on Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had noted that call centers were prepared to answer questions about the health care law in 150 languages.
Sebelius told MSNBC that the translators were necessary “to answer questions, help people understand some of the terminology.”
Hemmer, one of the co-hosts of America’s Newsroom, proceeded to lambast the Obama administration for offering service in so many languages.
“I got an idea,” the Fox News host continued. “How about English?”
“English, that would be a good start,” co-host Martha MacCallum agreed.
Other Fox News hosts later chimed in to show support for Hemmer’s stance, including host of The Five, Dana Perino.
Offering Obamacare in 150 languages is absurd. If someone can’t speak enough English to fill in forms, what will they explain to a doctor?

I can understand a few major languages. But 150? Give me a break. Some of you are nuts.

Nearly 1,500 people retweeted her comments. Many, however, were not as supportive.
The fact that @DanaPerino doesn’t understand that some people read better in their original language…nevermind. These people…

.@DanaPerino Not that you actually care, but in communities where these languages are spoken, the doctors speak them too.

@ZerlinaMaxwell @DanaPerino Also assumes that no doctor in this country speaks anything other than English.

Hate must be one of your languages RT @DanaPerino: I can understand a few major languages. But 150? Give me a break. Some of you are nuts.

@theonlyadult @TVietor08 @DanaPerino New proposal: Anyone who cannot correctly use the subjunctive should be denied health care.
