Fox Nation: Failed Baseball player headlines Obama's Fundraiser

[Ichingcarpenter]

Picture of the failed baseball player.





On Wednesday, the Obama campaign organized a fundraiser headlined by basketball superstars Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning and Carmelo Anthony to boost the president's fundraising efforts.

Rather, supporters who donated for a chance to attend the so-called "Obama Classic" thought they were going to a fundraiser being attended by current and former NBA stars. According to Fox Nation and the Free Beacon, they were in fact hanging out with "failed baseball player Michael Jordan and noted anti-police activist Carmelo Anthony."

Of course, calling Jordan a failed baseball player is like calling Fox a news organization. It's true in the most technical sense, but obscures the accomplishments they are really known for, like "greatest basketball player of all time" and "mouthpiece for the political right."

Let's see if we can apply the Fox Nation/Free Beacon standard to bring a new perspective on other famous personages…

Jesus!

2. Jordan wasn't really failed

He was showing improvement and he was pretty good at stealing bases. If he had given it a few more seasons, he may be made it to the Majors but he chose to go back to the NBA instead.

3. Its hardly his main bio its like saying

Failed haberdasher runs for president.

Actually Jordan did make the cut in baseball, but hardly his
main par-tee.

4. Spin, spin, spin!

How about - wildly successful, best basketball player ever...

Fwiw, I don't think of Jordan as a 'failed' baseball player. A couple more seasons, and he probably would have been pretty damn good.

5. Failed News organization reports on Presidential event....

...and (predictably) fails.
