The Fox News and Fox Business networks have suspended on-air host Stacey Dash and commentator Lt. Col. Ralph Peters for cursing on the air about President Obama’s handling of the Islamic State terrorist group.
Peters called Obama a “pussy” after his primetime televised speech on terrorism, while Dash said that he couldn’t give a “shit” about the terrorist group. Both commentators immediately acknowledged that they were wrong for using the epithets, but the suspension still stands.

The suspension was reported Monday by CNN’s Brian Stelter.
The left-wing cyberbullying outfit Media Matters for America took some responsibility for helping to gin up anti-Peters sentiment online prior to the suspension.
