if you think having a gay comedian making ass jokes on breakfast tv is wrong
then it's wrong in of itself, and not because it would have been wrong or right on Fox. By mentioning Fox it's they and you as conservatives that become the victim, not the gay comedian or poor viewer. Do you see? The comedian or incident ceases to be important, it becomes a cipher to say "I'm a conservative and look at how hard done by I am"

I think it's boorish, I don't know that I would say it is wrong.
I do think that perspective for right and wrong would change for some people depending on who originated the gag.

yes, the incident was irrelevant.
what you really meant was "here is an example of Fox news being the victim, even if it is only an hypothetical scenario. They, and by extension myself as a conservative, are really victims here"
But it's quite hard to see them as victims, with shows like Hannity and O'Reilly relentlessly attacking people, though that doesn't stop them trying to play the card when they receive criticism. After spending the primaries relentless attacking people Trump himself does the same, accusing others of a witch hunt (despite his son's damning email), a fake news conspiricy, and so on. Claiming victimhood deflects criticm and prevents self examination.
