Fox Slams WI Protests But Cheered Tea Party Protests

Fox News' coverage of the Wisconsin protests over Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to eliminate public employees' collective bargaining rights, among other things, has been marked with repeated attacks on the protesters. However, by contrast, Fox has relentlessly promoted and even encouraged viewers to participate in tea party and "Tax Day" protests over the past few years.

@toastertown6  HMMMM... more tax breaks for the very rich so they can start more very low paying jobs in Pakistan is going to Save America? And unemployment goes up and the rich puts 90% of the country's wealth in overseas accounts? You really must be a Conservative Corporate Shill!!

Wisconsin teachers using sick time to protest should be fired and their teaching licenses yanked.

The Tea Party didn't have murders,rapes,thefts, vandalism,public intoxication or public public defecation on city property. And when it was over they went home. The city didn't have to pay a fortune to clean up the mess. none of that can be said of the Occupy exploits.

Tea Party= Honorable response to Governments out of control spending.

OWS= Contrived endless Parade of human debris.

To suggest that ALL the other networks are even REMOTELY as horrible as "Fox so called News" is laughable!

Fox News:

1.) CLEARLY Guilty of "consumer fraud" via WRONGFULLY claiming "Fair and balanced" / We report you decide".

2.) Has and continues to be caught red-handed LYING / DISTORTING the FACTS to support Ultra-Conservative / Far-right agenda.

The problem isn't that Fox News is EXTREMELY "bias" IT'S that they are INFACT committing "consumer fraud" and have and continue to LIE / DISTORT

What about the million dollar bonuses the CEOs gave theselves after robbing the treasury for 700 billion dollars?

Do you think a Wall Street grony is more worthy than a fire fighter?

[upchurch231]

look all the cable news networks are biased. ALL of them, but FOX news is by far the worst and they over and over again lie and say they are fair and balanced.

[shitdollarlips]

FUX News is fair and balanced like Rupert " COCK BOY" Murdoch didn't know about phone hacking

"Storm capitol hill"....that doesn't sound like cheering to me...but then MMFA edits all this footage to reflect their opinion.

Which is why MMFA will soon lose it's 501c status. You reap what you sow.

@Sconi71 MSNBC honest about what they believe in? Ok, you have to be in complete denial to say that, because videos here on youtube say otherwise. Videos where they say employees at MSNBC couldn't even defend Olbermann's lies. Also, a lot of other stories have proven where they have lied about stories. Even a video that said Current Events proved Keith Olbermann lied. Lots of other stories too, where they caught their lies, so try and say they're honest, just proves you are in complete denial.
