Local Fox Anchor Apologizes for Calling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow an ‘Angry Young Man’

Fox19 Anchor Tricia Macke Apologizes for Calling Rachel Maddow Angry Young Man on Facebook

An anchor for Fox affiliate WXIX-TV in Cincinnati is apologizing after calling MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow an “angry young man” on her Facebook page.

The comment happened roughly one month ago, just after the debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

For those who don’t recall, Biden was particularly aggressive that night, either interrupting or making a wide array of faces at Ryan the majority of the night. Rachel Maddow weighed in after the event, however, and said Biden “clearly won” and had a “great night.”

Here is what Fox19/WXIX anchor Tricia Macke’s Facebook looked like shortly thereafter, via The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD):

Commenters appeared to pounce on the statement almost immediately, writing things like “You’re showing your Fox!” (a reference to the perception that the national network is right-leaning), or asking whether Macke would start with “Jewish jokes, black jokes, [or] fat jokes” next?

After about four comments, Macke apologized and admitted that she should have said Maddow is “antagonistic,” but soon after wrote: “I knew what I was saying…”

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) released a statement on November 9 adding:

Referring to Maddow as a “man” because she is a gay woman is completely unacceptable for someone in the business of journalism.

Cincinnati viewers rely on Macke and Fox 19 to deliver unbiased and fair reporting about the lives of LGBT people in their community. But this is someone who attempted to insult a gay woman by questioning her gender, then stated very clearly that she did so with complete awareness of her actions.

“Macke owes an apology not only to viewers, but to young people in Ohio who are subjected to unfair bullying and harassment like this on a daily basis,” said GLAAD President Herndon Graddick.

Tricia Macke undoubtedly tried to insult Maddow because of their political differences, rather than simply because Maddow is gay – but her comments went much further than insulting Maddow’s political leanings, and took issue with Maddow’s gender, revealing an anti-gay (or at least anti-gender-nonconforming?) bias underlying her political beliefs. [Emphasis added]

Macke has worked with WXIX since 1993, her biography says, and while her job does not appear to be at risk at the present time, Macke has since written public apologies on both her Facebook page and that of her employer:

I recently posted comments on my personal Facebook page regarding cable news anchor Rachel Maddow which were insensitive and inappropriate. I apologize to Ms. Maddow and any others who may have been offended by my comments, as they do not reflect my firm beliefs in individual and equal rights, and they certainly do not represent the opinions or position of my employer WXIX-TV.

  It wants to be gender neutral .
  The word “man” is the shortened form of mankind.
  Why would this upset it? Even better question, why would Idiot-on-a-mission assume all these comments means we are Neanderthal cave men. I live in a house. There isn’t a cave within 100 miles of my home. Get back to work at the fudge packing plant you can continue your efforts to ruin this country after work hours.

  You post on a website presumably upset about the name calling by calling people names? Name calling on the left is a way of life, you can dish it out but you can’t take it? However, I’m sure you “take it” all the time.
  Also your little hissy fit is confusing, isn’t “strait” and non-gay the same thing? Also when speaking Neanderthal it’s yabba-dabba not yadda…yadda

  It’s very convenient to leave out the comments preceeding Ms. Macke’s statement about Madcow. Context is very important. A recent article on The Blaze talked about a gay man who was getting to use the womens locker room and exposing his/her junk to minors. How many other articles have you read in the last year or so about a he/she or a she/he demanding the right to be in a restroom other than the one assigned for their birth sex? GLAAD and the LGBT community are purposefully stirring the pot with regards to acceptable language. They dance with glee over the confussion they cause. There is no reason for them to be so vitriolic and in-your-face about every little utterance. Madcow dresses like a little boy and is gay. She might even behave as the dominant male figure in whatever relationship she carries on with?
  Finally, I realize that I have a large chunk of timber in my eye and have a long way to go in my relationship with God. How can one be “very catholic” yet firmly believe there is nothing wrong with their homosexuality, their belief in the right to kill a human life in the womb, or a lack of understanding the lesson of spreading the word through the teachings of Jesus Christ?

  Really?? With all the garbage that comes out of the MSNBC gang’s mouth? I guess that is ok because no one on MSNBC is a journalist. And to the trolls, if you are a democrat, then your party is the party of the culture of death, so don’t knock Republicans who have tried to be a culture of life.

  GLAAD was right. Mecke could have criticized Maddow like a grown woman, listing actual reason for why she disapproves of Maddow’s comments. Instead she immediately acted like a 13 year old, and used a homophobic/heterosexist comment. This is perfectly analogous to a person using racist terms to insult someone instead of listing actual reasons. The only difference is the current widespread (but shrinking) acceptance of heterosexism/homophobia as a valid viewpoint, by people ignorant on the matter. And no, being able to quote the bible and/or Pat Robertson does not mean you know anything.
  
  Speaking of Pat Robertson, I know gays will get equal rights in the western world because of one thing: the Pope is actively against it. The Catholic church has always been in favor of dying and immoral viewpoints (like interracial marriage, geocentrism, pedophilia, their attempts to say people who report pedophilia are sinning, etc.) Since the Pope is against gay marriage, it’s pretty clear that gay marriage is both moral and something that will one day be fully accepted.

  Watching people on this website justify erroneous and child-like behavior has become one of my favorite past times now, it’s just ridiculous – You go around and around on one thread talking about the hatred of the Left and then spend hours and hours, page after page making fun of a gay woman with a short hair cut. I really do wonder sometimes if you all are just completely blind because you’re so deep in your bubble – losing all vision and swimming around aimlessly like sightless fish or just plain mean.
  
  Make no mistake about it – There is NO honor in insulting someone behind the guise of the web or period, none! Whether “BUT THE LIBS DO IT” or not, it’s not acceptable – you just want to be a mean, callous man(or woman)-child.

  You’re totally right. We’ve been throwing the bible at them for centuries, killed them, say they are going to hell, ignore their health and allow AIDS to spread for years before even admitting the disease exists (Reagan), blamed them for hurricanes, etc.
  
  So why do they still use a word that means happy to describe themselves, when we’ve been doing everything in our power to make them feel otherwise?! Another reason why it’s weird they call themselves gay is because when people stop persecuting them, they are otherwise normal to straight people. So they wouldn’t be any more happy than straight people if we decided to start acting morally and treat them with respect. They’d be just as happy as the rest of us!
  
  In any case, we have to continue in our fight to persecute and discriminate, otherwise they might think they are our equals! As if!

  See how the “bullying” meme works now? Have you seen Maddow when he’s not in television makeup? He’s a guy. Macke has every right to poke fun at Maddow’s chosen outward appearance especially as a private citizen on facebook..but because homosexuals are a protected class…it’s now “bullying” to make a joke about Maddow’s appearance and demeanor.
  This strategy is called “jamming” and is a concentrated strategy used by the homosexual lobby to silence anyone who dares to question their agenda.
  It’s time to stop apologizing and start standing up to these idiots because it will only get worse.

If Gay person voted for Democrat because she is gay, then that’s like an overtaxed person voting for Romney because they want lower taxes. Oh but If feel overtaxed and want some fiscal sanity, then If I voted for Romney, then by that rationale, I’m racist.

  Not ****-fear it is:
  
  Disgust, which is a totally different emotion then fear. Entirely different body language and facial muscles are involved.
  
  Example: response to a moutain lion in the woods most likely response is definitely phobic or fear. eyes widen, adrenelin , fight or flight response.
  
  response to vomit or poopy diaper facial expression is totally revulsion, repulsion, adversion both response is avoidance and disgust. A different part of the brain is used.
  
  Just like when purely Homosexuals feel about beastiality and pedophelia or kissing somebody of the opposite sex.
  
  Not fear..but disgust…accuse us of the right thing and we will agree.

  So people’s appearances turn them gay? That makes absolutely no sense when you consider that many gay men are much more attractive than straight men. That means they’d be more attractive to women, but they choose men instead…. Maybe it’s because one’s appearance doesn’t turn them gay and you’re dumb.

Quit apologizing. Quit apologizing to these perverted communist. Would someone on our side stand up for a change. The comment was accurate. If the lesbians and gays don’t like it…..so what?

  Hey Turdmuncher, would it be possible for you to come up with a different comment? Just once? You say the same thing on every story. I understand you are a little short on brain cells, logic, reality, etc… but for hell’s sakes, try to put some effort into your next post.

  First off…if gay people would just keep their traps shut about what they do in their bedrooms 99.9 percent of the American population could care less……I mean heterosexuals don’t go around ranting and railing about their sexual preferences……and so this:
  
  If you want to make sure everyone knows you’re gay…or you think everyone NEEDS to know you’re gay….then it ought not be any surprise if some portion of the public pushes back. That’s not right wing bigotry Fishmonger Troll……that’s simply people continuing a conversation that the loud big-mouthed gay person started in the first place. The general population has just about had it up to their eyeballs with the entire “We’re Here and We’re Qu—eer” crowd…….here’s a newsflash…..the whole gay thing is frankly ********YAWN*****…..is frankly totally boring. If 2 gay men want to wreck each others rectums then please go silently into your bedroom(s) and knock yourselves out….just please shut the door….AND absolutely please shut your mouths about it…..

Well, looking at that picture of Tricia and then remembering what Maddow looks like, come on. Yes, we know what she meant, but in reality its closer to the truth than anything else.

  Maybe Tricia Macke referred to ManCow as a “man” BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A MAN.
  Who says it had anything to do with being a ****?

  Come on GONZO…according to the GLAAD bag…Macke is “at least “anti gender non conforming”.
  Apparently that’s not good according to the GLAAD bag but I’m still trying to work out what the phrase even means.

I’ll jump in there – good for her for apologizing, she clearly realized that what she said was idiotic, and she did the right thing in making an apology.

Silly woman. Only Liberals are allowed to make racist, sexist, or other derogatory comments concerning race, or sex. You must first proclaim the proper politically correct doctrine, and never ever ever degrade, deride, or insult a member of the elite Marxist corps, except for correcting them on not being leftist enough.

  So she wants to lead the life of a man, having a relationship with a woman, but doesn’t want to be referred to as such. But if she was a tranny then she would be pissed she wasn’t called a man. What a wonderful society the left (with satan’s help) has wrought upon the world.
  
  The left and those that vote for Dems are declaring they have no morals or standards.

  @DEATHRATTLE
  
  You’re extremely wrong, and I’m worried that it’s because you didn’t get the education you deserved growing up. If our educational system failed you, then it isn’t you’re fault that you’re wrong. I went through the same educational system however, and I ended up learning a lot…. But you can totally blame your schooling.
  
  If she was living the life of a man, she’d be transgendered or transexual. Or she’d have been born with a penis. Neither of those things are true. You obviously know nothing about gender or the human body/brain/physiology since you think a man is just someone who has a relationship with a woman. If Maddow is a man because she’s having a relationship with a woman, then so is her girlfriend, so then they’d both be men. And if you are wrong enough to think that of lesbians, you’d probably think similarly of gay men, so then Maddow would be a woman since she’s with a woman, and her partner would be a woman too, then they’d be a man, etc. So your logic fails you. Lesbians are WOMEN who are attracted to WOMEN. They are women because that’s how they identify, and they are attracted to WOMEN, not MEN, so neither is a man in the relationship.
  
  Read a book, something that is based in reality. You’ll learn a lot. That’s assuming you know how to read, I’m really sorry if you don’t. If you don’t, then I suggest learning how to read.
