Fox News anchor in Ohio who called Rachel Maddow an ‘angry young man’ returns to air after suspension

She’s baaaaaack.

Tricia Macke, a news anchor for the Fox affiliate in Cincinatti, Ohio, has returned to the air following a two-day suspension for referring to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as an ‘angry young man.’

Macke made the comment on her Facebook page last month. Even when Facebook followers pointed out that the remark was offensive, she refused to back down writing defiantly: ‘I knew what I was saying.’

But once the Facebook exchange became public last week and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and Equality Ohio launched a petition calling on Fox 19 to condemn comments, Macke suddenly backed down.

She acknowledged in a statement last Friday that her remarks were ‘insensitive and inappropriate’ and did not reflect her ‘firm beliefs in individual and equal rights.’

The Fox station also issued a statement of apology.

Let’s hope she’s learned her lesson! It’s not nice to say unkind things about a cool chick like Rachel Maddow!
