Associated Press

Two Fox News contributors have been suspended for using inappropriate language about US President Barack Obama while discussing his speech on terrorism the night before in two separate episodes.
The analysts, former US Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters and actress Stacey Dash, were each ordered off the air for two weeks.
Peters was appearing on a Fox Business Network programme hosted by Stuart Varney when he was asked his reaction to the president's speech. He didn't like it.
“This guy is such a total p***y, it's stunning,” Peters said. After he spoke some more, Varney said that while he could tell Peters was “super angry”, he shouldn't use such language.
Dash, who appeared in the movie Clueless and has been a Fox contributor since 2014, said on Fox News Channel's noontime programme Outnumbered that Obama's speech was a flop and followed up with an obscenity. “I felt like he could give a s***, excuse me, like he could care less.”
Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of programming at Fox, said in both cases the language “was completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air.”

Fascist, unhinged, ridiculous: Trump wants total ban on Muslims entering the US, prompting howls of horror

(FILES) In this December 3, 2015 file photo, Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump speaks during the 2016 Republican Jewish Coalition Presidential Candidates Forum in Washington, DC. Trump on December 7 called for a "total and complete" block on Muslims entering the United States, in the wake of last week's mass shooting in California by a Muslim couple believed to have been radicalized. A statement from Trump's campaign team said the halt on Muslims entering the country should remain in place "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."
